Much of the action in zinc seems to be catching funds off guard with the CTA funds running short atm and having to change their tac as the buying still seems fairly resiliant even in the face of zinc being well above $1.50/lb.This is being backed up by more cancellations of 2,525t in Singapore bringing total cancellations to 11,400t.
