Report Information - Report Title: Zinc Futures Daily Report [1] - Date: September 4, 2025 [2] - Research Team: Non - ferrous Metals Research Team [4] - Researchers: Peng Jinglin, Zhang Ping, Yu Feifei [4] Industry Investment Rating - No information provided Core View - The Shanghai zinc market fluctuated weakly, with the main contract closing at 2,2285 yuan/ton, up 20 yuan or 0.09%. There is an increasing divergence between domestic and foreign markets, and the processing fees continue to rise. Although the zinc ingot production remains at a high level despite short - term disturbances from Guangxi smelters, the demand side is supported by policies but shows short - term weakness. The production restriction in North China suppresses the galvanizing consumption, and the pressure of supply - demand surplus is reflected in the inventory. The social inventory increased to 146,300 tons on Monday. The LME zinc inventory decreased by 375 tons to 55,225 tons, the lowest level since May 2023. The 0 - 3 spread B continued to strengthen to 20.44. The expectation of macro - interest rate cuts and continuous de - stocking in LME boosted the external market, but the divergence in the fundamental situation between domestic and foreign markets continued, resulting in a narrow - range oscillation of Shanghai zinc [7].

Report Overview - Report Type: Iron Ore Daily Report [1] - Date: August 19, 2025 [2] - Research Team: Black Metal Research Team [3] 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the report 2. Core Viewpoints - On August 18, the main iron ore futures contract 2601 showed a weak and volatile trend, closing at 772.0 yuan/ton, down 0.64%. Although the US steel and aluminum tariff expansion has a negative impact on market sentiment, considering that steel mills maintain high production to support the ore price and there is no obvious restorative growth in overseas shipments in the short term, the ore price still has some support in the short term.

However, the production enthusiasm of enterprises is still relatively strong, and the molten iron output rebounded after three consecutive weeks of decline, remaining at a relatively high level of over 2.4 million tons, which strongly supports the ore price [11] - **News Impact**: On August 15, 2025, the US Department of Commerce announced that 407 imported steel and aluminum derivative products would be included in the scope of the 232 - clause tariff of 50%.
