Summary
The euro strengthened versus the US dollar last Friday, allowing LME zinc prices to regain most of previous losses, and LME zinc prices finally closed at USD 1,875/mt, down USD 5/mt. Trading volumes declined, an indication of stronger wait-and-see sentiment and an unclear market direction, as market players were waiting for the impact from G-20 summit on market confidence. SMM predicts SHFE 1009 zinc contract prices will face pressure at the 30-day moving average today.
