Mongolia’s National Statistics Office reported September 2026 molybdenum concentrate output of 418.2 tonnes under the table’s contained-metal reporting basis, up 9.5% from August but down 13.3% from a year earlier. SMM calculates January–September output at 4,090.7 tonnes, up 6.4% year on year, with cumulative growth slowing from 9.2% in January–August. September output increased by 36.2 tonnes month on month but remained 64.1 tonnes below September 2025. The official table provides no company-level breakdown, so the operational drivers cannot yet be confirmed.

[SMM Steel] Vietnam HRC Import Prices Edge Higher as Domestic Offers Exceed Indonesian Cargoes

[Vietnam] HRC import prices rose by 2 USD/tonne to 531 USD/tonne CFR Vietnam. Two Indonesian mills reportedly sold substantial volumes of SAE1006 HRC at 532 USD/tonne CFR Vietnam last week, for December–January delivery. A major Vietnamese steelmaker announced December-delivery offers for SAE1006 and SS400 HRC at approximately 559–560 USD/tonne CIF Vietnam. While prices remained unchanged in Vietnamese dong, their USD equivalents increased due to exchange-rate movements. With domestic offers significantly higher than Indonesian imports, Vietnamese buyers remained cautious about placing orders.
