Zink: Chinesische Importe ziehen im Januar massiv an

Die Nachfrage nach Industriemetallen aus dem Reich der Mitte zieht wieder deutlich an:

China zinc imports more than double in January

China’s refined metal imports increased in January, with zinc purchases up 150% from the same month last year amid an emerging shortage after the country’s smelters pledged to cut output.

The world’s biggest consumer imported 59 283 metric tons in January, according to customs data on Monday. While lower than in December, which saw the highest monthly volume since 2009, the figure is similar to the 60 000 tons that the nation imported in the three months through January last year..
