Strategic advice: overall refined zinc supply remains constrained, smelting plant overhaul production is expected to continue to increase, inventory, gauge downstream in late march will gradually recover, tianjin market for Shanghai premium also indicate the requirements or have risen slightly, in view of the previous interval to fell to a low profit, up space than down space, can try the dips.

 

Risk: smelter production continues to increase and downstream demand recovers less than expected.

Strategic advice: rising production and inventory, the recent price pressure is big, but lower capital support and benefit from the supply side of innovation far month are expected to be strong, so prices fell into sound asset to cash capital range, can be single thinking step by step planning.
