Coupled with the fact that post-holiday downstream consumption has not fully recovered, the short-term supply surplus in the fundamentals persists, leaving zinc prices with insufficient upward momentum and hovering at highs. Attention should be paid to subsequent consumption performance. 》Subscribe to View SMM Historical Spot Metal Prices
