Zinc on MCX settled down 0.65% at 191.45 after trade data from China pointed to a slowing economy despite recent stimulus measures, denting demand expectations. China’s exports fell by the most in three years in February while imports fell for a third straight month, pointing to a further slowdown in an economy which is at its weakest in almost 30 years.
U.S President Donald Trump said that talks aimed at ending a long-standing trade conflict with China were moving along well after he postponed a sharp U.S. tariff hike slated for early March. China sought to shore up its slowing economy through billions of dollars in planned tax cuts and infrastructure spending, with economic growth hit by softer domestic demand and a trade war with the United States.

But the impact of stimulus on the slowing Chinese economy is due to take six to nine months to flow through to demand for industrial metals, giving a boost to prices in the second half of the year. Shortages for a fourth year running and historically low stocks of zinc are likely to propel prices of the metal to $3,000 a tonne over coming months, while an end to the U.S.-China trade dispute could spur even more gains.
Research firm Antaike says China’s refined zinc output saw its steepest plunge since 2013 last year, partly due to tight raw material supply and longer maintenance periods.
