[SMM News] This week, the SHFE/LME zinc price ratio remained around 8.5, with the import window for zinc ingots closed. Overseas, due to the lingering uncertainty surrounding Trump's tariff policies and the increasing likelihood of a delay in the US Fed's interest rate cut, coupled with the US Fed explicitly warning of stagflation risks, LME zinc prices declined slightly and then maintained a fluctuating trend.
