SMM April 10 update:

Spot premiums in Ningbo continued to rise this week, with the weekly average price up 20 yuan/mt WoW. As of this Friday, Ningbo spot prices against the 2605 contract were quoted at a discount of 25 yuan/mt, with a premium of 50 yuan/mt over Shanghai, and the premium over Shanghai widened during the week. Zinc ingot inventory in Ningbo declined slightly this week. Traders' offers remained relatively firm during the week, but the futures zinc price center moved higher WoW. In addition, some downstream enterprises held certain raw material inventories, leading to low spot purchase willingness during the week. Overall transactions remained on an as-needed basis. Spot premiums are expected to continue fluctuating next week.
