<![CDATA[SMM Forecast for Zinc Prices This Week]]>
      </title>
      <description>
<![CDATA[Zinc prices remained rangebound last week. On the fundamental front, domestic zinc concentrate TCs rose on the back of the inflow of imported zinc concentrate and expectations of output cuts at domestic smelters, reducing the dependence on domestic zinc concentrate. But the current zinc prices are low, and the profit at mines is poor. Profit at mines, however, reached a three-year high thanks to higher TCs. Any upward room for TCs will be limited.]]>

<![CDATA[SMM Review and Forecast of Copper Prices]]>

      <description>
<![CDATA[The US dollar index fell the most since January two weeks ago as the Fed paused interest rate hike. Real estate data in the US issued last week exceeded expectations, growing market expectations over US economic growth. Interest rates were thus expected to remain high and the US dollar index rebounded last week. Should Fed officials maintain hawkish tone, the US dollar index will continue to rebound, which will cap the gains in copper prices. In the eurozone, high inflation is still an important issue facing the British economy. The pound will continue to put pressure on the dollar in the future.]]>

<![CDATA[As copper prices kept dropping amid uncertain risks overseas and the weak Chinese economic recovery, copper scrap suppliers became less willing to ship cargo in May. The market thus saw a sharp decline in scrap supply. The price spread between the copper cathode and copper scrap hovered around the advantageous level for users and dipped to a low of 561 yuan/mt, which depressed copper scrap consumption. Most of the copper rod factories using copper scrap shut down in May due to difficulties in purchasing copper scrap.]]>

<![CDATA[Imports of steel scrap totalled 230,000 mt in the first four months of 2023, up 204% YoY. With the liberalisation of imports of raw materials for secondary steel from January 1, 2021, steel scrap imports have been increasing steadily. Yet, China's steel scrap imports are at an extremely low level mainly because there are only five customs commodity codes corresponding to the types of steel scrap that can be imported. The import standards for specification and impurity content are stringent and some details are not clearly defined.]]>
