On August 26, the CME Group announced that the first trade of U.S. zinc futures has been completed through the CME Globex electronic trading platform, with Glencore and Trafigura as the trading parties. The first trade was executed on August 20, with a delivery month of September. The CME Group stated that, based on customer demand, the zinc futures contract has been adjusted to a 'U.S. Delivered Duty Paid' model effective March 2026, providing tools for managing fluctuations in U.S. zinc prices. This contract, as an exchange-traded and centrally cleared risk management tool, will help producers, consumers, and intermediaries enhance the transparency of U.S. zinc prices and optimize hedging strategies. Kim Hennig, Global Head of CME Metals, noted that geopolitical fragmentation is reshaping global supply chains, making regional price signals increasingly important. The U.S. zinc market is gradually developing its own pricing logic, and the new contract aims to assist participants in managing their risk exposure.

On August 26, IMF President Kristalina Georgieva urged governments to address the rising fiscal risks, stating, "All countries need to tackle their fiscal issues and develop and publish credible plans to ensure that debt and deficits are on a sustainable path." She also called on central banks to "remain highly focused on their price stability mandate." Georgieva noted that the global economy is under pressure from high inflation and trade tensions, but growth driven by investments in artificial intelligence has partially offset the impacts. However, rising bond yields and stagnating inflation indicate that the economic outlook remains highly uncertain. She mentioned that the energy shocks triggered by the Iran conflict are not over, and the global economy is facing a tug-of-war between "negative supply shocks from the Middle East" and "positive demand shocks from artificial intelligence." She also warned that risks related to energy supply, El Niño weather patterns, and the impact of AI on financial stability remain significant.
