Summary

Technical indicators show LME metals prices will fluctuate lower in the short term. SHFE zinc prices will move at low levels today after opening, and SHFE three-month zinc contract prices will fluctuate narrowly above RMB 18,000/mt, and spot transactions will become the major driving force for zinc prices.
