Analysis, review and Prospect

 

According to Bai Jiaxin, an analyst at the business agency, September is the peak season for traditional production, known as “gold, nine silver and ten”. In September this year, the domestic economy continued to warm up, the demand for zinc market rose slowly, and the demand for winter storage of smelter production was expected to rise in the near future. On the supply side, domestic zinc production rose, zinc concentrate imports increased significantly, refined zinc imports rebounded, and zinc market supply increased significantly. The overall supply and demand of zinc market have both recovered, and the rising power of zinc price is insufficient. At the time of the U.S. election, the risk aversion psychology of the market increased, the decline of stock market and futures market dragged down the spot market, the foreign epidemic continued to rise without obvious improvement, which affected the resumption of production and work, and the decline of global economic recovery expectation affected the zinc market. Generally speaking, both supply and demand of domestic zinc market are picking up, while the negative pressure of international zinc market is greater. The rising power of zinc market is insufficient and the downward pressure is greater. It is expected that the zinc price will fluctuate and fall in the future.
