The Federal Reserve suspended interest rate hikes in June, macroeconomic benefits

A number of economic data in the United States reflect that the U.S. economy is more resilient than Europe.

In June, the U.S. Dollar Index fell continuously, hitting a new low since mid May; The trend of non-ferrous metal production increased, the international macroeconomic environment warmed up, and the zinc market was positive.

However, the overall inflation in the United States was still at a high level. Federal Reserve Powell released the signal of continuous interest rate increase. In late June, the U.S. Dollar Index rose in a volatile manner. The support for the international economy's macro positive weakened, and the zinc market's positive weakened.

Expected decrease in zinc market supply

The supply of zinc in the market was temporarily stable, and the support for the increase in zinc prices was insufficient.

Sweden's Boliden suspended production of the largest zinc mine in Europe, and the Ronnskar smelter shut down due to a fire, leading to a decrease in supply expectations for the European zinc market and increased support for the rise of the zinc market.

Future Market Forecast

According to data analysts from SunSirs, the international economic environment rebounded in June, with non-ferrous metals bullish and bullish, while zinc prices followed suit. China increased its support for real estate, infrastructure investment was improving, and the central bank's MLF had cut interest rates. This led to an increase in positive news for the domestic economy, stimulating a rebound in market sentiment and a rebound in the zinc market. Zinc smelters in Europe ceased production, and the supply of zinc in the market is expected to decrease. Multiple positive factors stimulated the fluctuating rise of zinc prices. In the future, the expectation of macroeconomic recovery weakens, the supply of zinc is relatively sufficient, and the support for the rise of zinc market is insufficient. It is expected that zinc prices will fluctuate and consolidate in the future.
