Zinc and nickel prices: the reference behind a coating quotation

Zinc and nickel are the largest material components in a galvanised part. This page updates every trading day and keeps a history, so you can see when a price actually moved — not just where it is today.

How to read today's numbers:SHFE zinc is flat. This is the best kind of week to work on first-pass yield: rework from white rust and failed salt spray costs far more than a zinc price move.
Price history is building. Closing prices are recorded every trading day. A chart appears automatically once three sessions have been collected.

3 · Where these numbers are useful

SituationHow to use it
A customer pushes on priceSend the link. How far and how long zinc has fallen is visible in one screen — more convincing than explaining that raw material has not actually dropped.
Quoting a long-term priceA fixed long-term price in a volatile market is a one-sided risk. Agree a re-pricing clause triggered by a defined zinc movement, and put it in the contract.
Checking a supplier's increaseBefore accepting "raw material went up", look at the last month of SHFE zinc. If the claim and the chart disagree, there is room to negotiate.
Export pricingThe exchange rate changes what a USD quotation is worth in CNY. Check it before sending a quote, especially on longer payment terms.

Please note: these are futures and public market prices. They are not the price you pay for zinc or for a sealer, and they are not a quotation of any kind. How you set a processing fee still depends on your own process cost. Data is collected automatically; on holidays or when a source changes, values may be delayed.
