Bismuth Market Strengthens as Trading Activity Boosts Price Center: SMM Weekly Review

【SMM Magnesium Flash】This week, the social inventory of magnesium ingots increased by 2.19% month-on-month, showing a continuous pattern of accumulation. Under the support of costs, domestic magnesium ingot prices continued to rise this week. Driven by the mentality of "buying when prices rise and not buying when prices fall" and some demand for delivery documents, traders made a small amount of stockpiling and follow-up purchases. However, after the price surge, market transactions significantly weakened, and downstream fear of high prices gradually became prominent. Currently, there has been no substantial recovery in terminal demand at home and abroad. Some traders store purchased goods in port warehouses for delivery documents and to cope with market fluctuations, while most traders choose to remain on the sidelines. Even though there is strong support from the cost side and expectations of price increases in the market, the willingness to make new purchases remains limited. Multiple factors have jointly contributed to the slight accumulation of social inventory this week.
