The magnesium ingot market continued its weakness, with offers in Fugu County lowered to 16,400-16,500 yuan/mt, sluggish transactions, and strong wait-and-see sentiment among downstream users. Foreign trade was mainly focused on fulfilling previous orders, with few new orders. The benchmark price of magnesium alloy was under pressure due to declining magnesium ingot prices on the cost side, but processing fees held steady. As the Chinese New Year approached, some end-users began holidays, leading to a slight decrease in orders, with the market maintaining a tight balance. The magnesium powder market remained generally stable, though the center shifted slightly downward due to falling raw material prices. On the demand side, domestic trade involved purchasing as needed, while foreign trade saw limited new orders. Overall, the magnesium industry chain faced partial supply tightness providing support in the short term, but sluggish demand remained the core factor driving price trends, with the market expected to stay in the doldrums.
