Summary

LME zinc prices slumped to as low as USD 1,779/mt on June 2nd, but later regained some losses supported by rebounding stock markets, and LME three-month zinc contract prices finally closed above USD 1,800/mt. However, zinc prices were still on a downward track, and are expected to remain weak in the near term. SMM predicts domestic spot zinc prices will test the support level of RMB 15,000/mt today.
