[SMM Brass Billet News Flash] This week (5.8-5.14), the operating rate of the brass billet industry was 52.34%, up 7.67 percentage points WoW. The impact of the post-holiday period gradually faded, and industry production recovered slightly. However, affected by the arrival of the traditional consumption off-season, the recovery in operating rates was insufficient and failed to rebound to pre-holiday levels.
