Overall, zinc prices opened higher with a gap today, leading to downstream resistance to high prices, which impacted end-user purchasing enthusiasm. Coupled with some enterprises having already made low-price purchases yesterday, downstream inquiries decreased, while trading among traders was more active. The market trading atmosphere was relatively muted today, and spot premiums declined.
