Market Summary
Zinc remains range-bound as markets assess fresh macro signals.
Zinc is closely watched for macro and sector signals.
Zinc's price is a reliable proxy for global construction and infrastructure activity - particularly in China, which accounts for roughly half of global zinc consumption. The zinc market has experienced several structural supply deficits when major mines closed simultaneously.
Current market attention is focused on Chinese property sector recovery (a major steel and galvanizing demand driver) and European construction activity. Zinc concentrate treatment charges (TCs) between miners and smelters are a key market health indicator.
