[SMM Weekly Magnesium Production Flash Report] From June 5th to June 11th, the weekly production of the national sample magnesium plants was 25,865 tons, with a weekly operating rate of 84.85%, up 1.23% month-on-month. Most primary magnesium smelting manufacturers have been operating normally this week. It is understood that a primary magnesium smelting enterprise in the main production area has increased its daily production, resulting in a slight increase in primary magnesium output. In the long term, currently primary magnesium smelting manufacturers have insufficient willingness to halt production for maintenance. Only one primary magnesium smelting enterprise in Shaanxi Province is expected to halt production for maintenance in mid-to-late June, and one primary magnesium smelting enterprise in Shanxi Province has extended its maintenance time until the end of June, while other manufacturers are operating normally.
