[SMM Wire and Cable Holiday Survey] As the Labour Day holiday approaches, SMM conducted an in-depth survey on holiday production arrangements among 13 mainstream wire and cable enterprises in China, with a combined sample capacity of 1.67 million mt. The survey showed that enterprises' holiday production plans were divergent. Most enterprises followed their usual practice of maintaining production during the holiday; some enterprises, however, chose to halt production during the holiday due to weakening orders, adjusting their production pace to ease finished product inventory pressure.
