Report Industry Investment Rating - The investment rating for both single - side and arbitrage strategies is neutral [4] Core Viewpoints - Affected by the positive sentiment of Sino - US talks, commodity prices generally rose, but zinc prices were relatively weak due to weak fundamental data, increasing TC, supply pressure, an open zinc ingot import window, and signs of inventory accumulation.
