[SMM Flash News] This week, the operating rate of die-casting zinc alloy producers was recorded at 48.81%, down 7.60 percentage points WoW. The decline in the operating rate of die-casting zinc alloy producers this week was mainly due to the fact that many enterprises had arranged 1-3 days of holiday during the Dragon Boat Festival, resulting in an overall decrease in production. In terms of terminal order performance, influenced by the gradual entry of downstream consumption into the off-season, the overall demand for orders across various domestic terminal sectors has been relatively weak recently. Meanwhile, for export orders, the recent improvement was mainly due to the recovery of previously suspended orders, but there are currently relatively few new export orders. After the Dragon Boat Festival holiday next week, enterprises are expected to resume normal production status. However, influenced by the gradual weakening of downstream consumption, the operating rate of die-casting zinc alloy producers is projected to be around 57.86%.
