Summary

Market concerns over the approach of seasonal low demand period were growing, and LME metals prices continued to move in a narrow band. LME zinc prices closed at USD 1,740/mt last Friday, down USD 20/mt, with struggles between long and short positions remaining intense at the 10-day moving average, and SMM predicts LME zinc prices will continue to fluctuate between USD 1,700-1,750/mt in the near term.
