The average operating rate of die-casting zinc alloy manufacturers was 47.52% last week, up 0.52 percentage point from 48.04% in the previous week. In terms of raw material inventory, since enterprises still took deliveries one after another during the week, the raw material inventory of die-casting zinc alloy enterprises basically remained flat despite the rebound in zinc prices.

In terms of operating rates, there were still some manufacturers who produced for orders in the second half of May. Therefore, despite the decrease in new orders, the overall operating rate stabilised. Considering the off-season in June, it is expected that the operating rates of zinc alloy enterprises may decline in the near term.

【Flash | DOWA’s H2 Zinc Plan Rises 27%, Potentially Supporting Indium Recovery】

DOWA Holdings plans to produce 113,543 tonnes of zinc in H2 FY2026, up 27.0% from its H1 plan of 89,373 tonnes and 26.8% from the 89,525 tonnes produced in H2 FY2025. Its Akita Zinc operation uses the hematite process to recover indium and other valuable metals at high yields and integrates zinc smelting with rare-metal production and recycling. Higher planned zinc output may increase feed throughput for by-product indium recovery. However, DOWA disclosed no indium production target, and any supply increase will depend on feed grades, recovery rates and operating schedules rather than zinc volumes alone.
