Summary
The European leaders reached an agreement on a rescue package for debt-laden Greece, and the Euro advanced against the US dollar as a result, and metals prices also climbed in response. LME zinc prices fluctuated, and closed at USD 2,235/mt, but showed passive performance in the USD 2,200-2,300/mt range recently. Transactions were brisk when spot zinc prices fell below RMB 18,000/mt, helping support zinc prices. SHFE 1006 zinc contract prices are expected to continue to move in the RMB 18,600-19,000/mt range today.
