February Spring Festival Impact Continues to Drive Down Brass Billet Operating Rate

[ SMM Brass Billet Express ] Looking ahead to February, the brass billet industry is expected to face multiple pressures. Supply side, overseas offers are limited before the Chinese New Year, and supply of recycled brass raw materials remains tight. Demand side, orders in traditional sectors show no improvement, with enterprises mainly focusing on delivering existing orders and new orders being limited. Meanwhile, high and fluctuating copper prices, along with the Spring Festival holiday, will further dampen stockpiling willingness and shorten effective production time. The operating rate in February is projected to decline further.

Poor Price Transmission Across the Supply Chain Keeps Copper Billet Industry Inventories at Low Levels

[SMM Brass Billet Express] Copper prices fluctuated at highs in January, putting pressure on raw material procurement, while orders for brass billets contracted in industries such as valves and sanitary hardware due to difficulties in raising prices. Affected by high costs and reduced orders, some small copper billet enterprises began their holidays early from mid-to-late January. Currently, enterprises generally maintain low inventories to mitigate risks, with sample enterprises averaging only 3.95 days of raw material inventory and approximately 6.77 days of finished product inventory, reflecting overall weak stockpiling sentiment.

The year-on-year improvement was due to the low base effect from the Chinese New Year holiday during the same period last year. In January, the operating rate of large enterprises was 57.74%, medium-sized enterprises 40.83%, and small enterprises only 32.29% due to greater cost and order pressures.
