SMM News on March 11: According to SMM, the Northwest Lead and Zinc Smelter of Baiyin Nonferrous Group Co., Ltd. launched a public tender sale for about 100 mt of crude cadmium under its operation. According to the official announcement, the bidding floor price was set at a discount of 500 yuan/mt to the average SMM price, and the highest bidder after the auction won the lot. This project required at least three registrants for the auction to proceed normally. The registration deadline was 17:00 on March 16, 2026, and bidding was scheduled to begin at 10:00 on March 17, 2026.

To a certain extent, it could reflect the strength of market demand and provide some reference as to whether cadmium prices could continue to rise steadily.
