As of August 24, the zinc ingot inventory in LME market was 225075 tons, which was significantly higher than 188050 tons at the beginning of the month (August 1). The serious overstocking of zinc ingot in the international market affects the further rise of zinc price in the international market, thus hindering the rise of domestic zinc market, which is unfavorable to the domestic zinc price.

 

Analysis, review and Prospect

 

Bai Jiaxin, an analyst at the business agency, said: from the statistical data, we can see that the global zinc market is seriously overstocked, and the supply of zinc ingots in the international market is seriously oversupply, which is bad for the domestic zinc market. With the resumption of production and work in the global economy, the demand for zinc market is getting warmer, and the price of zinc has an upward momentum. However, the backlog of zinc ingot inventory in the first half of the year will be listed on the market, which has a negative impact on the price of zinc, and there is insufficient support for the rise of zinc market. It is expected that the future zinc market will be stable.
