Recently, the national tungsten raw material market has been under great downward pressure on prices, especially since May, the average monthly price of ammonium paratungstate is only 1429000 yuan / ton, which is about 50,000 yuan / ton lower than the April average price of 1475000 yuan / ton. And showed a continuous downward trend; Raw material market supply and demand is flat, APT and tungsten concentrate price upside down, Ganzhou tungsten industry loss ratio increased, sales profit margin appeared negative, the overall performance of the industry as a whole for the main business income decline, economic benefits significantly decreased.

In view of this, the ammonium paratungstate production enterprises in Ganzhou City held a meeting in Ganzhou on June 5, 2019. they unanimously agreed to stop or reduce production from June 2019. the enterprises that decided to stop production would stop production for not less than 15 days. The enterprise that decided to reduce the production of ammonium paratungstate will reduce the production of ammonium paratungstate by not less than 30% in the same month, so as to jointly maintain the healthy and stable operation of the tungsten market. At the same time, the meeting issued a call to the national tungsten enterprises to "control production capacity and reduce output," and suggested that relevant government departments strictly control the addition of new tungsten smelting capacity, so as to make efforts to eliminate excess capacity, reduce costs and increase efficiency, and promote supply-side structural reform in the tungsten industry. We will promote the reasonable return of the overall price of tungsten products upstream and downstream, jointly maintain the supply order of tungsten raw materials market, and promote the harmonious, win-win, healthy and sustainable development of the tungsten industry.

Magnesium Market in H1 2026 Sees Symmetric Consolidation, as the Boom Fades and Weakness Persists: Where Is the Price Bottom? [SMM Analysis]

[SMM Magnesium Market Analysis: Magnesium Market Walked a Symmetric Consolidation Pattern in H1 2026, Weakening After the Fade of the Boom – Where Is the Bottom of Magnesium Prices?] Looking back at the Chinese magnesium market in H1 2026, affected by concentrated production halts at magnesium smelters earlier, the pattern of strong supply and weak demand quietly reversed. Tight spot supply and low inventory provided a good foundation for phased rises in the fundamentals of the magnesium ingot market. Coupled with news-driven disturbances such as surging demand for magnesium alloys, speculative demand suddenly emerged, and market procurement enthusiasm soared. In Q1, magnesium prices showed a stair-step increase. Overly high expectations boosted smelters' production enthusiasm, and magnesium smelter output rose continuously. By June 2026, China's primary magnesium production had reached 110,000 mt. The continuous increase in output added to the sales pressure on magnesium smelters. With both inventory and output rising, magnesium prices showed a stair-step decline in Q2. Overall, magnesium prices presented an inverted V-shaped trend in H1.
