Summary

LME metals prices closed with decline on Tuesday, and LME three-month zinc contract prices ended at USD 1,880/mt, down 2.34%, with prices again falling below all moving averages. SMM predicts LME zinc prices will test the previous low of USD 1,830/mt in the short term in view of growing concerns over Asian and European economies. SHFE zinc prices were dampened by growing short positions yesterday, and will remain weak today given emerging pessimistic sentiment, and SMM predicts SHFE 1009 zinc contract prices will fluctuate around RMB 15,500/mt. Special attention should be paid to the impact from stock markets on SHFE zinc prices today.
