SHANGHAI, Aug. 18 (SMM) – Combined zinc inventories in Shanghai, Tianjin and Guangdong continued falling as of August 18 from a week earlier, SMM reports.
SHFE Base Metals Inventories (2017-8-18)
The biggest drop in inventories is seen in Tianjin. Inventories in Tianjin declined some 4,400 mt since continuous maintenance at north China-based smelters slashed arriving shipments. Besides, some downstream producers hoarded stocks in case of transportation restrictions for the National Games which will be held soon in Tianjin.
