- Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core View of the Report - Zinc supply continues to increase, and zinc prices remain under pressure. The zinc market is affected by factors such as supply and demand, inventory, and macroeconomic conditions. It is expected that zinc prices will decline as inventory accumulates [1][4]. - For trading strategies, it is recommended to hold profitable short positions and consider adding short positions in distant months when prices rise. For arbitrage, it is advisable to wait and see [4]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Chapter 1: Comprehensive Analysis and Trading Strategy - Industry Supply and Demand - Mine End: In June, domestic northern mines are expected to complete resumption. Domestic zinc concentrate production continues to release. The import window for zinc concentrates closed in June, but previously locked - in goods still flowed in. The supply of domestic zinc concentrates in June is expected to remain relatively loose, and the processing fees are still on an upward trend [4]. - Smelting End: In June, with the supplement of imported ores and the release of domestic mine production, processing fees continued to rise. Smelters had sufficient raw materials and high production enthusiasm. The import window for refined zinc closed in June, but previously locked - in goods still flowed in. It is expected that the supply of domestic refined zinc will increase significantly in June [4]. - Consumption: Currently, zinc consumption is in the off - season, but the continuation of the "trade - in" policy in China may still boost consumption to some extent. Attention should be paid to the consumption in infrastructure, automotive, and home appliance sectors [4]. - Inventory Data: As of June 19, the total inventory of SMM seven - region zinc ingots was 79,600 tons, an increase of 2,500 tons from June 12 and 1,500 tons from June 16. LME zinc inventory (June 20) was 126,200 tons, a decrease of 4,775 tons from June 13 [4]. - Price Outlook: Affected by macro factors, zinc prices may fluctuate. With zinc consumption in the off - season and no improvement in downstream new orders, the downstream procurement intensity is expected to weaken. On the supply side, domestic smelters are actively producing, and with the inflow of imported goods, the supply of refined zinc increased significantly in June. The domestic social inventory has slightly increased this week. It is expected that zinc prices will decline as inventory continues to accumulate [4]. - Trading Strategy - Single - sided: Hold profitable short positions and consider adding short positions in distant months when prices rise [4]. - Arbitrage: Wait and see [4].
