SMM Zn50 Weekly TC Rises as Domestic Mines Resume Post-Holiday Production

Published: Feb 27, 2026 17:42
As of February 27, the SMM Zn50 domestic weekly TC average price rose by 50 yuan/mt in metal content from the pre-holiday level to 1,550 yuan/mt in metal content. According to SMM, as the Chinese New Year holiday ended, domestic mines gradually resumed production. Meanwhile, imported zinc concentrates previously ordered by smelters continued to arrive, leaving domestic smelters' raw material inventory relatively ample. Consequently, processing fees in some domestic regions increased for March.
