It can be seen from the statistical table of zinc concentrate processing fee that the zinc concentrate processing fee will drop from 6300 yuan / ton to 4400 yuan / ton in 2020, and the zinc concentrate processing fee will drop sharply. From January to February in 2021, the zinc concentrate processing fee will continue to drop, but the downward trend will slow down, and the zinc concentrate processing fee will stabilize obviously. In February 2021, the mines will stop production and the supply of zinc ore will decrease. The domestic refined zinc output will decline seasonally in February. With the end of the Spring Festival holiday, the mines will gradually resume mining in March, and the smelters will gradually resume work in the same period. After mining, the zinc concentrate products will still need a certain production and transportation cycle to enter the market. Therefore, the domestic zinc concentrate supply will continue to be tight until the middle of March. Domestic refined zinc production is expected to recover in March. The continuous recovery of zinc concentrate processing fees is not conducive to the growth of zinc concentrate production. The insufficient zinc concentrate production is a drag on the zinc ingot production. The reduction of zinc ingot production is obviously beneficial to the rise of zinc price, and the future zinc price has a greater driving force.
