Currently, with the high TC and price, the smelting enthusiasm is high, and the supply will continue to increase, which will limit the upward height of zinc prices. Consumption is relatively strong. The export market has not been affected by tariffs, and the year - on - year export growth rate is relatively fast. After the absolute price dropped, the downstream's enthusiasm for point - price procurement was high, the social inventory decreased significantly, the spot premium rose rapidly, and the low inventory provided favorable support for zinc prices, resulting in a range - bound trend of zinc prices [4]. Strategy - Unilateral: Neutral. - Arbitrage: Inter - period positive spread [5]
