China die-cast zinc alloy exports to Europe have been impacted this year on the depreciation of euro, SMM finds.

SHANGHAI, Jun. 8 (SMM) - China’s die-cast zinc alloy exports to Europe have been impacted this year on the depreciation of euro, SMM finds.

"Some producers in coastal regions of China witnessed weakening demand from eurozone due to euro depreciation,” SMM zinc analyst says.

Most die-cast zinc alloy producers in China maintained steady production in June. Orders received by large producers are stable and largely unchanged from May’s, according to an SMM survey.

Die-cast zinc alloy prices fell with zinc prices last week. The average prices of Zamark #3 and Zamark #5 declined 340 yuan per tonne to 17,050-17,250 yuan per tonne and 17,350-17,550 yuan per tonne, respectively, SMM data show.

Coherent launched PhotonLink, an integrated optics platform for AI infrastructure incorporating Indium Phosphide (InP) lasers, silicon photonics, detectors and optical modules. The company disclosed more than 10 CPO engagements, over 10 NPO engagements and more than five chip-to-chip connectivity projects, with anchor customers and long-term agreements secured for both CPO and NPO. Revenue is expected to begin ramping in Q4 2026. Coherent has shipped over 300 million InP lasers and is expanding its 6-inch InP manufacturing capacity to support the ramp. The customer pipeline provides a clearer commercial demand signal for InP devices and upstream materials, although additional capacity and indium consumption were not disclosed.

According to TrendForce's latest memory industry research, in Q4 2026, DRAM manufacturers will continue to allocate advanced process capacity to high-performance products for server applications, maintaining an overall undersupply situation. However, the contract price uptrend is slowing down, with Conventional DRAM expected to increase by 10%–15% QoQ. The NAND Flash market is showing a dual-track development of AI acceleration and low consumer demand that nonetheless drives price increases, with overall contract prices expected to rise by 15%–20% QoQ.
