Brass Prices Surge Amid Supply Deficit and High International Copper Costs

Currently, brass prices are rising, mainly influenced by the supply deficit in the market and the inversion caused by high overseas quotations. Domestic inventory remains low, production constraints, and reduced imports have exacerbated supply tightness, while the increase in international copper prices has further driven up costs. Due to high prices, downstream enterprises show low purchase willingness, with US-origin goods being almost entirely overlooked due to their high cost. In the short term, brass prices may remain high, but in the medium and long-term, there is still resistance for a price correction.
