[SMM Flash News] This week, the SHFE/LME zinc price ratio fluctuated around 8.4, with the import window for zinc ingots remaining closed. Overseas, macro data showed a slowdown in both US employment and inflation, strengthening expectations for US Fed interest rate cuts within the year. The escalation of tensions in the Middle East exacerbated geopolitical risks, and the resurgence of US tariff disputes put continuous downward pressure on LME zinc.
