3. Analysis
SunSirs analysts believe that with the easing of the epidemic and the continuous promotion of vaccines, global mining plants have resumed operations one after another, the supply of zinc has increased, the zinc inventory in the LME market has skyrocketed, the supply of the global zinc market is sufficient, and the oversupply of the zinc market has intensified. Correspondingly, the domestic Spring Festival is approaching, and many downstream zinc manufacturers have announced plans to stop production and repair, which dragged down the recovery of domestic zinc prices, and domestic zinc prices plummeted. In the long run, the zinc market is still supported by rising momentum, but the domestic zinc market demand is weak before the Spring Festival, and the zinc price has insufficient momentum to adjust. The zinc market after the holiday may usher in a short-term rising period.
