The working rate of brass rods is expected to fluctuate slightly next week

This week (3.27-4.2), the operating rate of the brass rod industry recorded 55.16%, a slight increase of 0.77 percentage points compared to the previous period. The industry as a whole remains in a moderate trend, with strong downstream demand in refrigeration and heat dissipation fields providing solid support. Looking ahead to next week (4.3-4.9), order activity has cooled slightly compared to the early post-Lunar New Year period, but demand in the refrigeration sector still provides support. Large enterprises continue to maintain active production. Considering multiple factors, SMM expects the industry’s operating rate next week to increase slightly by 0.32 percentage points to 55.48%, maintaining a moderate overall trend. (SMM)
