SHANGHAI, Jan 30 (SMM) – The CNY factor weighed on downstream supply and demand in the Shanghai spot zinc market on the morning of Wednesday January 30.
Few sellers offered in the market, at a discount of 20 yuan/mt over the SHFE February contract in the early morning. Transactions picked up slightly during the second trading session for the morning, but overall trades cooled from Tuesday January 29.
In Shanghai, traded prices of #0 zinc stood at 21,760-21,820 yuan/mt, and #1 zinc at 21,560-21,720 yuan/mt at noon.
