After three consecutive days of gains, SHFE zinc turned lower today, forming a bearish candlestick, with support from the 10-day and 60-day moving averages. According to SMM, domestic social inventory increased as of today. Downstream enterprises showed weak purchasing demand due to high prices. With fundamentals pointing to increasing supply and weakening demand, zinc prices faced some resistance.
