Summary
The US Department of Commerce announced on Wednesday that the US new home sales in April rose by 14.8% to an annual rate of 504,000 units from March levels, setting a record high since May 2008, higher than previous prediction of a 430,000 rate. Although the positive new home sales in the US indicate the US economy is recovering, investors are still worrying about the Euro zone economy, and LME metals prices were mixed as a result. LME three-month zinc contract prices advanced to USD 1,900/mt, with pressure reported at the 10-day moving average. SHFE 1009 zinc contract became the dominant one yesterday, with short positions growing sharply. SMM predicts spot zinc prices will move around RMB 15,300/mt today.
