【SMM Analysis：SiMn Alloy Spot Prices Remain Stable, Market Sentiment Mixed.】As of this Friday, spot prices for SiMn alloy 65/17 (cash) in north China stood at 6,000-6,100 yuan/mt, flat WoW from last Friday. In south China, spot prices for SiMn alloy 65/17 (cash) were 6,100-6,200 yuan/mt, also flat WoW from last Friday. For December SiMn alloy prices, the majority of the market holds a bullish outlook. The main reason is the strong sentiment among miners to stand firm on quotes, which is expected to push up manganese ore spot prices, thereby increasing SiMn alloy production costs and providing strong cost support. Additionally, downstream steel mills are expected to engage in winter stockpiling before year-end, leading to a recovery in SiMn alloy demand. Overall, supported by cost and downstream demand, SiMn alloy prices are expected to fluctuate upward. Some market participants hold a bearish outlook on future prices, citing weak end-use demand for SiMn alloy. The steel sector is in its off-season, and steel mills remain cautious in alloy procurement. As year-end approaches, traders are primarily engaging in spot transactions with limited interest in stockpiling. With weak demand-side support, SiMn alloy prices are expected to fluctuate downward. A minority of participants believe that prices are likely to remain range-bound. Currently, SiMn alloy supply remains at a high level. Although downstream steel mills are expected to stockpile for winter, the soft end-use demand for steel is likely to limit the incremental boost from winter stockpiling on SiMn alloy. In summary, with a tug-of-war between supply and demand, SiMn alloy prices are expected to remain range-bound.

Cost-Driven Magnesium Prices Shot Up, Weak Demand Makes Rally Unsustainable [SMM Magnesium Weekly Review]

Cost-Driven Magnesium Prices Shot Up, Weak Demand Makes Rally Unsustainable [SMM Magnesium Weekly Review]

[SMM Magnesium Weekly Review: Cost Push Drives Magnesium Prices Up, Weak Demand Limits Gains] This week, mainstream quotations for 99.90% magnesium ingot in major production areas stood at 16,050-16,150 yuan/mt, up 300 yuan/mt WoW, with FOB prices at $2,280-2,380/mt and an average of $2,330/mt. Magnesium ingot prices shot up during the week, driven by rising coal and ferrosilicon costs, coupled with some restocking at higher prices in foreign trade. However, the overall market remained characterized by strong supply and weak demand, with sluggish transactions at high prices and signs of a pullback emerging in the latter part of the week. Overseas demand has not shown any substantial recovery, with market activity dominated by tentative inquiries, limited actual order volumes, and evident buyer pressure for lower prices, keeping trading sluggish. Downstream magnesium powder and magnesium alloy prices followed the cost-driven increase in magnesium ingot, but end-use demand for magnesium powder remained weak, with some enterprises cutting production or suspending operations, exports constrained, and inventory levels rising. Spot inventory of magnesium alloy was ample, competition among peers was intense, and die-casting enterprises faced insufficient orders and declining operating rates, keeping processing fees under pressure. In the short term, cost support and weak demand are locked in a tug-of-war, and the upward momentum in magnesium prices is losing steam, with the market likely to return to consolidation. Going forward, close attention should be paid to the release of domestic and overseas orders.

비용 지지에도 약한 수요를 상쇄하지 못해 마그네슘 잉곳 시장이 압박 속에 약세로 전환 [SMM 마그네슘 잉곳 현물 보고서]

비용 지지에도 약한 수요를 상쇄하지 못해 마그네슘 잉곳 시장이 압박 속에 약세로 전환 [SMM 마그네슘 잉곳 현물 보고서]

[원가 지지 부족으로 약한 수요 상쇄 못 해; 마그네슘 잉곳 시장 압박 속 약세 전환] 오늘 중국 마그네슘 잉곳 거래 중심가는 톤당 16,000위안으로 이동했으며, FOB 호가는 톤당 2,280~2,380달러를 유지했다. 고가 거래 부진과 내수 및 해외 수요 후속 조치 부족의 영향으로 시장은 가격 유지에서 압박 속 약세로 전환되었으며, 단기적으로는 약세 흐름 속 조정 국면을 보일 가능성이 높다.

마그네슘 잉곳 가격, 수요 약세에도 상승…비용 지지 속 재고 누적

마그네슘 잉곳 가격, 수요 약세에도 상승…비용 지지 속 재고 누적

【SMM 마그네슘 플래시】이번 주 마그네슘 잉곳 사회 재고는 전월 대비 2.19% 증가하며 지속적인 누적 양상을 보였다. 원가 지지에 힘입어 이번 주 국내 마그네슘 잉곳 가격은 상승세를 이어갔다. '가격이 오르면 사고 내리면 사지 않는다'는 심리와 일부 선적 서류 수요에 힘입어 트레이더들은 소량의 재고 확보와 추격 매수를 진행했다. 그러나 가격 급등 이후 시장 거래는 현저히 약화되었고, 하류의 고가 부담 심리가 점차 두드러졌다. 현재 국내외 최종 수요의 실질적인 회복은 아직 나타나지 않았다. 일부 트레이더는 선적 서류용 및 시장 변동 대응을 위해 매입한 물량을 항구 창고에 보관하고 있으며, 대부분의 트레이더는 관망세를 유지하고 있다. 원가 측면의 강력한 지지와 시장의 가격 인상 기대에도 불구하고 신규 매수 의향은 여전히 제한적이다. 여러 요인이 복합적으로 작용하여 이번 주 사회 재고가 소폭 누적되었다.
