[SMM Flash News] The 2026 Chinese New Year holiday fell in February, significantly shortening effective production time, which was one of the reasons for the sharp decline in brass billet imports in February. In addition, persistently high raw material costs clearly suppressed import demand. In terms of operating conditions, the pace of work resumption in the brass billet industry after Chinese New Year was also noticeably slower than in previous years.
