Looking ahead to next week, multiple factors will exacerbate the pressure on enterprises: On the raw material side, supply remains tight, and procurement costs of raw materials remain high, which will further squeeze enterprises' profit margins. On the demand side, downstream orders continue to be weak, and some sectors have already reduced their production schedules. Seasonally, the Dragon Boat Festival holiday and the off-season in June will intensify the supply-demand imbalance. Therefore, SMM expects that the operating rates of brass billet producers will continue to decline next week, down 2.63% WoW to 52.4%.
