[SMM Magnesium Express] Brazil has recently significantly increased the anti-dumping duty on magnesium ingots originating in China from US$1.18/kg to US$4.07/kg. This measure, which dates back to 2004, has undergone multiple sunset reviews. The current adjustment follows a review initiated at the request of Brazilian domestic enterprises and takes effect from the date of publication. Brazil's primary magnesium output is only ~22,000 t/yr, while import demand reaches 300,000–400,000 t/yr. However, China currently exports almost no magnesium ingots to Brazil. The move could divert other regional supplies into Brazil, indirectly impacting global trade flows of Chinese magnesium downstream and finished products.
