This week, the operating rates of galvanising producers reached 52.17%, a decrease of 9.86 percentage points WoW. In terms of raw material inventory, zinc prices fluctuated upward this week. At the beginning of the week, prices pulled back, prompting some downstream enterprises to restock slightly, leading to a slight increase in zinc ingot inventory. The main reason for the decline in operating rates this week was that the end of the week coincided with the Dragon Boat Festival holiday. Most enterprises had holiday arrangements, with holidays ranging from 1 to 2 days, and a few enterprises taking a 3-day holiday, which affected production.
