[SMM Survey] the weekly operating rate of lead-acid batteries before the festival is temporarily stable, and most small and medium-sized enterprises have holidays.

Published: Apr 30, 2020 16:51 (GMT+8)

 

According to SMM research, the weekly comprehensive operating rate of lead battery enterprises in five provinces of SMM was 62.04% this week (April 27-April 30), which is basically stable compared with last Friday.

It is understood that there has been no great improvement in terminal consumption in the lead battery market for the time being. Electric bicycles and automobile battery enterprises generally promote finished batteries, while dealers have limited inventory transfer, coupled with no optimistic expectations for future consumption. Even in the context of promotion, dealers also mostly purchase on demand, especially the inventory level of electric bicycle battery enterprises is generally on the high side. Since April, some enterprises have reduced the production line operating rate one after another. From May Day holiday to May Day holiday, apart from some giant enterprises, other small and medium-sized enterprises mostly plan to have a holiday of 1-5 days.

【Flash | InP-Integrated AI Optical Engines Enter Volume Shipments】
NewPhotonics and Tower Semiconductor announced high-volume shipments of laser-integrated optical engines for AI infrastructure. The 800G and 1.6T PICs use Tower’s PH18DA silicon-photonics platform with heterogeneously integrated InP components, enabling lasers, SOAs, modulators and photodetectors on one chip. Volume shipments of 6.4T NPO chipsets are planned for H1 2027. SMM believes this signals that AI optical-interconnect demand is translating into InP device demand, supporting high-purity indium consumption. However, shipment volumes and InP intensity were not disclosed, so the near-term indium uplift cannot yet be quantified.
