Overnight, the LME was closed due to the Bank Holiday.
Overnight, the most-traded SHFE zinc 2406 contract fell to 23,235 yuan/mt after opening at 23,280 yuan/mt, but then rose to 23,460 yuan/mt before closing at 23,385 yuan/mt, up 80 yuan/mt or 0.43%. Trading volume decreased to 57,820 lots, and open interest increased by 3,132 lots to 95,337 lots. SHFE zinc prices rose overnight, boosted by macro sentiments. Fundamentally, although there was news of production resumption at the mining end, the short-term supply shortage still supported the zinc prices. As downstream consumption is unlikely to pick up, providing weakening support for zinc prices, it is expected that SHFE zinc prices will fluctuate widely.
