[SMM Brass Billet News Flash] According to SMM, copper billet enterprises saw moderate order performance in early April, with orders from sectors such as home appliance heat dissipation and power supporting equipment sustaining production. However, entering late April, end-use demand from downstream weakened notably, compounded by multiple factors, resulting in insufficient production momentum among enterprises.
