The following is an excerpt from the weekly report of the zinc industry chain:

Zinc market forecast next week: in terms of Shanghai zinc, due to the continuous decline in the quoted price of imported mines, the logic of tightening of mineral supply boosting the price logic is strengthening, and the early release of winter storage demand is also exacerbating this tense atmosphere. Pessimistic expectations of zinc supply in the fourth quarter are gradually replacing consumption as the new price anchor, and this medium-term logic has not changed. In the short term, on the one hand, the Shanghai Zinc 2010 contract far exceeds the excess position in the same period in previous years, with warehouse receipts falling to about 19000 tons as of Friday, which is too low. At the same time, the price difference between far and near Synchronize expands the risk of corroboration. At the same time, the import window has successively reached the margin of profit and loss, and imported zinc may inflow and replenish. Coupled with the fact that the violent fall in zinc prices last week has already formed a certain overdraft on consumption, the release of reserve demand before the National Day may be restricted by the fact that the price is lower than expected, that is, the high point of going to the warehouse within the month has already appeared. Short-term fundamentals are multi-empty intertwined, the main zinc in the next cycle is expected to run around 19400-20500 yuan / ton, Shanghai zinc spot is expected to report a rise of 120,280 yuan / ton in October. Lun Zinc is expected to rise but not fall next week, running around 2430-2600 US dollars / ton.

Processing fees: this week, domestic smelters continue to reduce zinc concentrate processing fees, domestic ore supply is tight. It is understood that at present, the mainstream imported miners in the domestic market are quoted at US $100,130 / dry tonne. It is understood that some imported miners have quoted prices of about US $80 / dry ton. At present, there is no transaction. This week, the inventory of zinc concentrate in Lianyungang port rebounded to 130000 tons. However, it is understood that domestic traders generally have less spot volume. In terms of domestic smelters, out of concern about the long-term supply of ore, Smelters take the initiative to reduce processing fees to receive goods, but the actual situation is not smooth. According to the balance of domestic and foreign mine supply in the fourth quarter, if domestic smelters remain at full production, the overall mine supply tends to be in short supply, overseas, zinc ore supply is still in short supply, and the bidding price for long-term shipment of overseas mines in October is concentrated at 120-150 US dollars / dry ton.
