Despite recent fluctuations, the market shows signs of stability and potential growth in the near future.

Zinc prices have shown an uptick across major markets, with LME, SHFE, and MCX prices all reflecting positive trends. The price rise is attributed to supply concerns, particularly after large withdrawals from LME warehouses by Trafigura and a decline in SHFE inventories. Although demand remains subdued, market fluctuations are expected.
