Attention should be paid to the support at 23,000 and the upper level at 23,400 [4]. - The upstream zinc ore import volume has declined, and the losses of Chinese imported zinc concentrates have widened. The domestic refinery's raw material winter reserve has started, and it prefers to purchase domestic zinc concentrates. However, the competition among refineries to purchase domestic ores has increased, and the domestic and foreign processing fees have dropped significantly. The profits of domestic refineries have shrunk, and the output is expected to decline significantly. Recently, the price of LME zinc has corrected, the Shanghai-London ratio has rebounded, and the export window may be closed again. On the demand side, the downstream market is gradually turning to the off-season, the real estate sector is a drag, the infrastructure and home appliance sectors are also weakening, while the policy support in the automotive and other fields brings some bright spots. The downstream market mainly purchases on demand at low prices. Recently, the zinc price has been oscillating and adjusting, the trading is dull, the spot premium is high and stable, the domestic inventory has increased slightly, the LME zinc inventory has increased significantly, and the spot premium has been significantly reduced [3].
