锌周报：风险偏好脆弱，锌价震荡偏弱-20250526

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided Group 2: Core Views of the Report - Last week, the main contract price of Shanghai zinc futures fluctuated and declined. The macro - situation is complex, with the suspension of Sino - US tariffs, the recovery of US PMI in May, and a stable employment market, but the US Treasury market turmoil continues and Trump's tariff policy affects market risk appetite. In China, economic indicators in April weakened. Fundamentally, global zinc ore supply recovery remains on track, refinery profits are being repaired, and the zinc ingot import window has closed. However, domestic refined zinc supply is expected to increase, and demand shows mixed performance. Overall, due to the fragility of market risk appetite, weak domestic economic drive, and the expectation of looser supply, zinc prices are expected to remain volatile and weak [3][4][11] Group 3: Summary by Directory 1.
