SMM March 27 News: The transaction price of mainstream brand 0# zinc in the Ningbo market was around 24,115-24,180 yuan/mt.

Coupled with the persistently high futures market, the upward momentum of spot premiums was insufficient. Although some downstream companies began to stock up for the Qingming Festival, overall transactions remained average.
