[SMM Flash] According to SMM, pressured by high zinc prices in September, die-casting zinc alloy enterprises struggled with shipments in the first half of the month, and some enterprises faced significant finished product inventory pressure. In the second half of the month, shipments improved, driven by a pullback in prices and pre-holiday stockpiling by end-users. Overall, however, the operating rate of the die-casting zinc alloy industry edged down MoM in September.
