Procurement read
Buyers should watch LME stocks, Chinese smelter treatment charges, and SHFE discounts. Zinc risk is often hidden in galvanizing and coating adders.
- Use the primary exchange price for cash exposure.
- Use LME/SHFE/CME references for contract indexing and regional premia.
- Separate spot moves from structural supply risk before changing hedge or buy timing.
