SMM2 11: recently, Glencore (Glencore) released the 2018 annual production report. According to the report, the company's cobalt production increased 54 per cent to 42000 tons from a year earlier, mainly related to Katanga, and the company expects to produce 57000 tons of cobalt in 2019, fluctuating 5, 000 tons.

The mine in Sudbury, Raglan,Nikkelverk, Canada, produced 900 tons of cobalt in 2018, up 13 per cent from 2017. The mine in Murrin, Australia, produced 2900 tons of cobalt in 2018, up 7 per cent from 2017.

SMM expects that the supply of cobalt raw materials will significantly exceed demand in 2019, and the cobalt price bubble will gradually eliminate and return to rationality in the seller's market. If the mine shipment is not ideal, the output may not be as good as expected.

【Flash | A Perfect Storm of Supply Risks Keeps Molybdenum Oxide Near Recent Highs】

SMM learned that overseas mine production cuts, extreme weather in South America, and declining ore grades and recovery rates were intensively discussed during a recent industry association meeting. These concerns strengthened expectations of tighter overseas molybdenum supply, stimulated some buying and pushed molybdenum oxide prices to around $34/lb Mo. Supply-side expectations continue to support prices, while some mine production, grade and recovery issues may not improve materially until around 2028. China’s market also remains firm, but elevated prices are discouraging chasing. Well-funded buyers, low-inventory users and producers with firm orders continue to purchase as needed, while processors mainly restock to maintain production.
