Copper billet enterprises hold low raw material inventories, while finished product inventory destocking faces obstacles
[SMM Brass Billet Flash] According to SMM, the current tight supply of secondary brass remains unchanged, raw material prices stabilize at highs, and processing profit margins continue to be squeezed. This week, days of raw material inventories at sampled enterprises stood at 3.52 days, remaining low. However, downstream buyers mainly made just-in-time procurement, with weak willingness to restock proactively, and finished product inventory destocking was hindered once again. This week, days of finished product inventories at sampled enterprises stood at 5.11 days.
