Summary

On Monday, Shanghai 0# zinc was traded at RMB 13,150/mt, imported zinc was traded in the RMB 13,050-13,100/mt range, the trading volumes were better than yesterday, but the overall transactions were still weak. Guangdong 0# zinc was traded at RMB 13,150/mt, imported zinc supply decreased in the market, and market players believe zinc price should find support at RMB 13,000/mt, and the transactions were moderate. As to futures market, overnight LME zinc price recovered after hit bottom line, and gained some losses at closing due to weakened US dollar. Yesterday, SHFE 910 contract zinc price opened at RMB 13,375/mt, and then kept fluctuating in the RMB 13,320-13,400/mt range narrowly, with the closing price flat at yesterday levels. The position declined sharply. As July is the seasonal low demand period, the weak market fundamentals continued to depress zinc price, so zinc price will meet downward pressure in the short term.
