Report Information - Report Name: Zinc Futures Daily Report [1] - Date: November 19, 2025 [2] Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core Views - Macro cooling and continuous LME zinc warehousing led to a downward shift in the center of LME zinc. On the 18th, LME inventory increased by 3,550 tons to 39,975 tons, with warehousing in Singapore, Kaohsiung, and Hong Kong. The low - inventory concern eased, the Cash - 3M Back structure dropped to 104.97, and the SHFE/LME ratio recovered to 7.5. The domestic non - ferrous market continued to correct, and SHFE zinc broke below the middle Bollinger Band. The main contract closed at 22,310 yuan/ton, down 130 yuan or 0.58%. The 12 - 01 spread was - 20 yuan/ton [7]. - The intraday market weakened compared to the previous day, but the spot premium increased. The Shanghai market had a premium of 180 yuan/ton over the December contract, the Tianjin market reported a discount of 50 yuan/ton compared to the Shanghai market, and the Guangdong market reported a discount of 70 yuan/ton to the January 2026 contract. Some zinc ingot exports led to a significant decrease in inventory, and domestic social inventory decreased slightly [7]. - With the reduction of northern mines in China and the concentrated release of smelters' winter stockpiling demand, the supply of domestic zinc ore was tight. The panic buying by smelters pushed down the processing fees. SMM estimated that the refined zinc output in November might decline slightly month - on - month. The tightening of the ore end was transmitted to the ingot end, providing support for zinc prices. In the short term, zinc prices were expected to fluctuate in the range of 22,200 - 22,800 yuan/ton, and the current price was at the lower end of the range. Attention should be paid to the support at 22,200 yuan [7]. Section Summaries 1.

Report Information - Report Title: Zinc Futures Daily Report [1] - Date: August 29, 2025 [2] Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core Viewpoints - The Shanghai zinc futures opened with a gap down, leading the decline in the non - ferrous sector. The main contract 2510 closed at 22,170 yuan/ton, down 180 yuan or 0.81%, with increased volume and open interest. The LME zinc inventory decreased to below 60,000 tons, and the squeeze - out risk still exists due to the low - inventory pattern. The SHFE/LME ratio remains low, and the zinc ingot import window remains closed. The supply side is abundant as the refined zinc output is expected to increase to 621,500 tons in August. The downstream demand is still weak, and the开工 rates of galvanizing and zinc oxide are expected to hover at low levels. The external market is supported by interest - rate cut expectations and low inventory, showing an upward - biased trend. The internal - weak and external - strong pattern continues, and the domestic market is unlikely to decline deeply due to the influence of the external market. The SHFE zinc is oscillating between the middle and lower tracks of the Bollinger Bands, testing the 22,000 - yuan integer mark [7]. Summary by Directory 1.

The import zinc concentrate processing fee continues to rise, with the zinc concentrate index rising by 2.2 dollars/dry ton to 92 dollars/dry ton, and the domestic TC remains at 3,900 yuan/metal ton. The refinery operating rate is at a high level, and the refined zinc output in August is expected to reach 621,500 tons. The downstream demand is weak, and the production and transportation in North China are restricted due to stricter environmental protection during the military parade. The external market is supported by interest - rate cut expectations and low inventory, while the domestic market is affected by the external market and is oscillating between the middle and lower tracks of the Bollinger Bands, testing the 22,000 - yuan integer mark [7]. 2. Industry News - **Zinc Price and Premium Information**: On August 28, 2025, the mainstream transaction prices of 0 zinc, 1 zinc, and high - end brands in different markets (such as Shanghai, Ningbo, Tianjin, and Guangdong) are provided, along with the premium or discount information of different brands relative to the SMM average price, futures contracts, and other market prices.

The main SHFE Zinc contract 2510 closed at 22,395 yuan/ton, up 150 yuan or 0.67%, with increased volume and decreased open interest. The 09 - 10 spread was C20. The LME market was closed for the Summer Bank Holiday. The import zinc concentrate processing fee continued to rise, with the zinc concentrate index increasing by 2.2 dollars/dry ton to 92 dollars/dry ton, and the domestic TC remained stable at 3,900 yuan/metal ton. Refinery operating rates remained high, and domestic maintenance in August was limited, with refined zinc production expected to increase to 621,500 tons, keeping the supply side abundant. Downstream demand remained weak at the end of the off - season, and due to the impact of the military parade, environmental protection became stricter, restricting production and transportation in North China. The operating rates of galvanizing and zinc oxide were expected to hover at low levels. The external market was supported by interest rate cut expectations and low inventories, making it prone to rise and difficult to fall. The pattern of a strong external market and a weak domestic market continued. The domestic market was driven by the external market and was unlikely to fall deeply. SHFE Zinc was in a wide - range oscillation, and in the short term, it might test the 22,500 yuan/ton mark [7].

Group 1: General Information - Report Name: Zinc Futures Daily Report [1] - Date: August 22, 2025 [2] - Researcher: Zhang Ping, Peng Jinglin, Yu Feifei [3][4] Group 2: Market Review - **Futures Market Quotes**: - The main contract of SHFE zinc 2510 closed at 22,240 yuan/ton, up 30 yuan with a 0.14% increase, with reduced volume and positions. The positions decreased by 568 lots to 110,426 lots. - LME zinc inventory decreased by 1,875 tons to 69,375 tons, with the entire decline from Singapore. The 0 - 3 spread was C9.33. - The domestic zinc market has a core contradiction of abundant concentrates and sufficient refined zinc, and social inventory has been accumulating, reflecting the surplus pressure. From January to July, the cumulative year - on - year increase in imported zinc concentrates was 45.2%. In August, the processing fee continued to rise, with the imported zinc concentrate index at 90.3 US dollars/dry ton and the domestic zinc concentrate TC stable at 3,900 yuan/metal ton. High TC and high sulfuric acid prices have expanded smelters' profit margins. In August, there were few domestic maintenance activities, and the refined zinc output may increase to 621,500 tons. - The downstream is in the off - season, and although there are policy supports on the demand side, the weakness is still obvious. The operating load in the primary consumption field remains at a low level. Overall, the pattern of strong overseas and weak domestic markets continues. The domestic market is difficult to fall deeply due to the influence of the overseas market. There is an expectation of a switch from the off - season to the peak season in late August, and the callback space of SHFE zinc is limited, with short - term wide - range fluctuations [7]. Group 3: Industry News - **Shanghai Market**: On August 21, 2025, the mainstream transaction price of 0 zinc was 22,240 - 22,305 yuan/ton, and that of Shuangyan was 22,360 - 22,415 yuan/ton. In the morning, the market quoted a premium of 20 - 40 yuan/ton to the SMM average price.

Group 4: Data Overview - The report provides data on the seven - region weekly zinc ingot inventory of SMM, LME zinc inventory, the price trends of zinc in two markets, and the SHFE monthly spread, with data sources from Wind, SMM, and the Research and Development Department of CCB Futures [13][14]

Report Information - Report Name: Zinc Futures Daily Report [1] - Date: August 19, 2025 [2] - Researcher: Zhang Ping, Peng Jinglin, Yu Feifei [3][4] Industry Investment Rating - Not mentioned Core View - The core contradiction of abundant zinc ore and refined zinc in the zinc market is more prominent during the off - season of demand, and the inventory accumulation trend continues. The zinc market supply remains loose, and the demand is hard to improve substantially as it has not stepped out of the off - season. Although the macro - atmosphere is warm, the weak fundamental pattern is difficult to resonate with it. The Shanghai zinc has given back its previous gains, and the current pattern of strong overseas and weak domestic continues. The domestic market is driven by the overseas market and is unlikely to fall deeply. There is an expectation of a switch from the off - season to the peak season for demand in the second half of the month, and the callback space of Shanghai zinc is limited, with short - term wide - range fluctuations as the main trend [7] Summary by Directory 1. Market Review - **Futures Market Quotes**: The main contract of Shanghai zinc (2509) closed at 22,340 yuan/ton, down 180 yuan, a decline of 0.80%, with reduced volume and positions, and the position was 69,630 lots.
