Report Summary 1) Report Industry Investment Rating - Unilateral: Cautiously bearish [4] - Arbitrage: Neutral [4] 2) Core View of the Report - The spot market remains weak, with downstream buyers still reluctant to buy at high prices and the spot premium showing a downward trend. The cost of domestic zinc ore is stable, and the import window for zinc ore is closed. The supply side has stable smelting profits and a long - term high - growth supply expectation. Consumption is unexpectedly strong, with an increase in the zinc alloy operating rate and only a slight increase in social zinc ingot inventory, possibly due to the "zinc alloy reservoir" effect. Short - term energy disturbances caused by the Middle East crisis should be watched out for [1][3] 3) Summary by Related Catalogs Spot Market and Futures Market - Spot Market: LME zinc spot premium is -$30.04/ton.
