Report Overview - Report Title: Nanhua Futures Zinc Risk Management Report - Date: September 25, 2025 - Research Team: Nanhua Non-ferrous Metals Research Team [1] Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content Core Views - The zinc price rebounded slightly following the broader market in the previous trading session. The supply side remains in a surplus state. On the mine side, due to the internal and external price ratio, domestic mines have a significant price advantage, and the increase in domestic processing fees slowed down in September. Overseas mines have seen a substantial increase this year, showing a loose supply situation. In terms of imports, due to the weak production capacity of overseas smelters, the increase in overseas refined zinc is limited, while zinc ore imports are at a multi-year high. On the demand side, the inventory in seven domestic regions continues to accumulate, and no peak-season phenomenon has been observed. In the short term, affected by typhoons, the downstream operating rate is expected to decline slightly. The LME inventory continues to decrease, and the pattern of stronger overseas and weaker domestic zinc prices in terms of inventory is becoming more obvious. In terms of trading strategies, the internal and external reverse arbitrage can continue to wait and see as the LME inventory approaches its extreme value. Currently, the internal and external positive arbitrage logic for zinc ingots prevails. In the short term, the price will mainly fluctuate based on macroeconomic factors and consumption [3].
