This week (3.20-3.26), the domestic brass rod industry operating rate recorded 54.39%, a slight increase of 0.26 percentage points month-on-month. The overall industry remains steady, with downstream order performance showing divergence. Demand in the refrigeration valve accessories sector remains robust and positive, becoming the core driver supporting enterprise production schedules. Orders in traditional hardware, plumbing, and other general fields are relatively stable, with companies mainly executing existing contracts and the pace of new orders being cautious.
