As to futures market, overnight LME zinc price advanced. Today is the delivery date for spot-month contract, and SHFE zinc price fluctuated upward, with three-month contract zinc price closing at RMB 13,250/mt. The positions shrank sharply, signaling the withdrawal of short positions. Any upward room for zinc price will be limited due to weak market fundamentals.
