Report summary
The sell off in zinc that began last month was lent additional momentum by the crisis surrounding the failure of Silicon Valley Bank and the forced sale of Credit Suisse to its rival UBS. Worries that the crisis could escalate into systemic failures in the banking system saw equity markets fall and risk-off selling undermine base metal prices, zinc included. However, with indications that the crisis in the US regional banking sector seems to have been contained and heightened expectations that US interest rates will not move as high as previously expected, came a degree of stabilisation in global financial markets.
