3. Outlook

SunSirs analysts believe that the zinc market inventory in the international market slowed down after May, and the impact of zinc market imports has decreased, which is good for the domestic zinc market. In the domestic zinc market, domestic infrastructure projects are still struggling, and the demand for zinc ingots has risen, but the sharp rise in zinc prices has increased the pressure on downstream purchases, downstream customers' enthusiasm for purchases has weakened, and zinc market inventories have slowed down. The mining processing fee continued to fall, the enthusiasm of zinc smelting enterprises to start work declined, and the zinc market supply declined. Generally speaking, the zinc market in the future market has sufficient momentum to increase, and zinc prices are still mainly in the future market, but the zinc price in the future market may increase or slow down.
