1. Report Investment Rating - No investment rating information provided in the report 2. Core Viewpoints - Zinc ore imports are increasing as long - term contract ores signed by smelters arrive at ports, and refineries are stockpiling raw materials for winter production.

New production capacity is being released, but refined zinc output growth is limited [3]. - Overseas zinc supply is tight, the Shanghai - London ratio has dropped significantly, and the export window has opened, with a shift to net exports expected [3]. - The traditional peak season effect of "Golden September and Silver October" is weak. The real estate sector is a drag, while policies in the automotive and home appliance sectors bring some positive factors.
