According to an SMM survey, due to unsatisfactory downstream orders and compressed profit margins, silver powder producers showed low purchase willingness. Against this backdrop, the "silver-based premiums" quotations for silver powder saw discounts widen to -30 to -20 yuan/kg, with the discount range exceeding the mainstream quotations from suppliers of national-standard silver ingots on the same day.
