Summary

The US unemployment rate was better than expected, and the Federal Reserve said it is reasonable to maintain interest rate at exceptional low, and market confidence in economic recovery and commodity consumption improved in response, booting metal markets. LME zinc prices closed at USD 2,240/mt on Thursday, again standing above the 5-day moving average line, with limited support at USD 2,200/mt. LME zinc prices are expected to move in the USD 2,210-2,280/mt range today.
