  "account": "Zinc proxies moved on Thursday, October 8th. Nexa Resources, a Peru- and Brazil-focused miner, declined 0.71% to US$12.51, while Buenaventura, a Peruvian gold, silver, and base metals producer, increased 0.96% to US$31.43. The price of zinc itself could not be verified due to differing sources, so only confirmed information is reported. Peru's zinc output dropped by 10.2% in the first half of 2026, causing one of the world's major zinc-producing regions to produce less metal. The market is observing whether this output decline will deepen enough to offset Nexa's expected growth in Brazil.",
  "summary": "Nexa fell 0.71% and Buenaventura rose 0.96% on 8 October. Peru's zinc output fell 10.2% in the first half of 2026, while Nexa plans 6% more. The post Nexa Slips 0.7% as Buenaventura Gains 1% | Zinc, Oct 8 appeared first on The Rio Times .",
