Report Summary Investment Rating - Unilateral: Cautiously bullish. - Arbitrage: Neutral. [5] Core Viewpoint - With the arrival of imported ores and the continuous opening of the import window, smelters' raw material inventory has slightly increased, leading to a decline in the enthusiasm for purchasing domestic ores. The supply pressure is expected to continue to decrease quarter-on-quarter. Although consumption has entered the traditional off - season, zinc consumption remains relatively strong, and social inventory accumulates slowly. Zinc shows relative resistance to decline under capital disturbances, with low absolute valuation and long - term macro factors remaining bullish.

[3] Market Analysis - With the arrival of imported ores and the continuous opening of the import window, smelters' raw material inventory has slightly increased. The domestic ore TC remains stable, while the imported ore TC continues to decline. The smelter's raw material available days are not high, and the TC is difficult to rise in the short term. The comprehensive smelting profit is difficult to repair, and the output in the first quarter may still fall short of expectations, reducing supply pressure. Consumption has entered the traditional off - season, but zinc consumption remains relatively strong, social inventory accumulates slowly, and the spot premium is maintained.
