SMM, January 17: This week, zinc concentrate TCs increased. Specifically, the weekly average domestic TC for SMM Zn50 remained flat at 2,150 yuan/mt (metal content) WoW, while the weekly average imported TC for SMM Zn50 rose by $10/dmt to $0/dmt. In some domestic regions, TCs continued to increase by 50-100 yuan/mt (metal content). Overall, TCs across various domestic regions mostly exceeded 2,100 yuan/mt (metal content). In the spot market, domestic smelters have largely completed raw material stocking for the Chinese New Year, leading to low procurement sentiment for raw materials this week. Some imported ore traders raised TC quotes to facilitate sales, but overall, transactions in the imported zinc ore market remained sparse. Recently, overseas zinc ore disruptions resurfaced, with some mines in Australia halting production due to fires. However, the short-term impact on domestic ore supply is limited. Additionally, zinc ore inventory at main ports remained high this week, and rising port TC quotes further drove up TCs in some domestic regions. The domestic zinc ore supply remained ample, and the upward trend in both domestic and overseas TCs is expected to continue. This week, SMM zinc concentrate inventory at China's main ports totaled 344,800 mt, down 28,600 mt WoW, with port inventory fluctuating at highs. 》Subscribe to view historical SMM metal spot prices.
