This week, the operating rate of zinc oxide enterprises was recorded at 56.13%, up 0.15% WoW. On the raw material side, although zinc prices declined this week, current end-use demand remains average. Coupled with the relatively difficult procurement of some raw materials, enterprises' raw material inventories were basically flat compared to last week. On the finished product inventories side, despite the decline in zinc prices, some enterprises recently completed equipment maintenance, and downstream buyers remained cautious due to average demand. As a result, finished product inventories also saw no significant changes.
