METALS-Zinc drops as rising Chinese inventories stoke demand fears

    BEIJING, Dec 24 (Reuters) - Zinc prices fell in London and
Shanghai in early Asian trade on Tuesday, as a rise in Chinese
inventories stoked demand concerns and led investors to take up
short positions on the metal used to galvanise steel.
    Social, or non-exchange, zinc stocks in China rose by more
than 5,000 tonnes as of Dec. 23, Chinese brokerage Jinrui
Futures said in a note, relieving some of the pressure on supply
from low exchange inventories.     
    
    FUNDAMENTALS
    * ZINC: Three-month zinc on the London Metal Exchange fell
0.2% to $2,285.50 as of 0233 GMT, after ending down 2.1% in the
previous session. The most traded February zinc contract on the
Shanghai Futures Exchange slumped 1.5% to 17,850 yuan 
($2,545.20) a tonne.
    * TCs: Treatment charges for zinc concentrate in China
AM-TC50-ZNCON have hit as high as $310 a tonne this month, the
highest since June 2008 amid plentiful ore supply, incentivising
smelters to keep producing metal.
    * COPPER: LME copper edged down 0.2% to $6,177.50 a
tonne in quiet pre-holiday trade, while Shanghai copper
inched up 0.1% to 49,080 yuan a tonne. 
    * SCRAP: China's environment ministry has issued import
quotas for 270,885 tonnes of high-grade copper scrap and 275,465
tonnes of aluminium scrap, the first batch for use in 2020.
China's scrap metal imports in November rose by 6.3% from the
previous month to 170,000 tonnes. [ 
    * RARE EARTHS: Rare earths miner UCore Rare Metals Inc
 and manufacturer Materion Corp said on Monday
they will form a consortium to jointly apply for U.S. military
funding of a rare earths processing plant.
    * HOLIDAY: The London Metal Exchange will be closed on
Wednesday and Thursday for the Christmas holiday.

    * The dollar traded little changed while equity markets
added to a year-end rally, with both a gauge of stock
performance worldwide and Wall Street hitting new highs amid
renewed optimism over U.S.-China trade and growth prospects.
