LME zinc inventories have been eroding this year, evidence of supply problems in Europe and the United States as smelters reduce output, a contrast to the more plentiful picture in China.

A scramble to access available material sent the spread between LME cash zinc and the three month contract soaring to a three-year high of $148.60 a tonne on Wednesday from only $14.30 last week.and others in the face of power prices that hit three-month highs on Tuesday. In China, weaker demand due to an economic slowdown and COVID-19 lockdowns has lead to rising inventories, which may help rebalance the global picture.
