SMM: Shengtun Mining recently released its annual report in 2019, which showed that revenue during the reporting period was 37314269058.78 yuan, an increase of 9.99% over the same period last year; net profit belonging to shareholders of listed companies was 319500557.59 yuan, down 35.44% from the same period last year; basic earnings per share was 0.145 yuan, compared with 0.257 yuan in the same period last year.

Since the company strategically laid out the cobalt material business in 2016, this business has developed rapidly. Relying on Congo (Kinshasa), the most important source of cobalt raw materials, the company actively makes use of the advantages of channels, talents and international experience that the company already has in overseas markets to carry out the business of raw ore procurement, product trade, production and processing of cobalt materials. The company invested in Congo (DRC) and successfully produced and operated 30000 tons of electrode copper and 3500 tons of cobalt comprehensive utilization project in 2019, as well as the acquisition of cobalt material deep processing enterprise Zhuhai Kelixin. At the same time, the company actively promoted the acquisition of Enzuli during the reporting period, which was completed in March 2020 to further enhance the company's ability to control upstream resources. In addition, in order to continue to promote the development strategy of the company's cobalt materials business, the company promoted the issuance of convertible bonds during the reporting period, proposed to use convertible bonds to raise funds, and put into construction in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) a wet process project with an annual output of 30000 tons of copper and 5800 tons of crude cobalt hydroxide (metal content), so as to further increase the production capacity of the company's cobalt products and consolidate its position in the industry.

It is understood that during the reporting period, the company still focused on zinc, cobalt, copper and nickel metal varieties, accelerated the merger and acquisition of high-quality production capacity, accelerated the construction and commissioning of overseas projects, and further accelerated the pace of internationalization. The overall asset scale and asset quality have been sustained and stable development. As of December 31, 2019, the company's total assets were 18.995 billion yuan, an increase of 16.37% over the same period last year; the company's net assets returned to its parent was 9.025 billion yuan, an increase of 12.97% over the same period last year. Affected by the sharp fluctuations in the market prices of cobalt and other metals, the annual performance declined in 2019.

[SMM Chromium Flash] EU's Toughening Trade Stance Raises Fresh Risks for Ferrochrome and Stainless Steel Supply Chains
European governments are preparing to seek broader safeguard measures against surging imports, primarily from China, marking a further shift toward tighter trade protection as European industrial sectors face high energy costs and weak demand. The European Union currently has a safeguard regime covering ferro-alloys, while governments including France, Italy and Germany are now pushing for additional investigations covering chemicals and plastics. For the chromium market, the development could have implications beyond the products directly targeted by the new proposals. A more protectionist EU trade environment could alter stainless-steel import flows and procurement strategies, potentially affecting demand for ferrochrome and the competitiveness of overseas suppliers. With the EU already using trade safeguards for ferro-alloys, further expansion of trade-defense measures could increase uncertainty for global ferrochrome flows and premiums, particularly if protection increasingly extends across both upstream alloy inputs and downstream steel products.

[Cost Support Combined with Supply-Demand Tug-of-War Keeps Silicon Metal Prices in Stalemate]: Silicon metal trading saw a tug-of-war between sellers and buyers, with prices consolidating in a stalemate. As of September 10, SMM oxygen-blown #553 silicon in east China stood at 9,400-9,600 yuan/mt, up 50 yuan/mt WoW, while #441 silicon was at 9,500-9,700 yuan/mt, flat WoW. In the futures market, the SI2611 contract moved sideways around 8,700-8,900 yuan/mt during the week. Affected by the tug-of-war between longs and shorts, prices repeatedly pulled back and forth around the 8,800 yuan/mt level, with Friday's close at 8,745 yuan/mt, up 10 yuan/mt WoW. In terms of market quotes and transactions, silicon producers maintained firm offers, with quotes largely stable during the week. Spot-futures traders also held prices relatively firm amid high-level consolidation in futures. Recently, trucking freight rates have stayed high, and downstream acceptance of high-priced spot cargo was moderate. Some users showed weaker purchasing enthusiasm compared with the previous week, with the market dominated by buying on dips or just-in-time procurement. Wait-and-see sentiment persisted, and transactions overall maintained a just-in-time pace, leaving the price center in a stagnant stalemate.

Magnesium Ingot Inventory Down 3.2% MoM, Prices Rise Amid Weak Demand and Trader Stock Clearing
【SMM Magnesium Flash】This week, the social inventory of magnesium ingots decreased by 3.2% month-on-month, showing a trend of destocking. At the beginning of the week, domestic magnesium ingot prices continued to rise. Downstream customers and traders exhibited a strong aversion to high prices, and there were no large-scale proactive stock-up operations. Only rigid demand transactions were maintained, and market trading was relatively weak. Against the backdrop of rising ex-factory prices for magnesium ingots and no substantial recovery in demand, traders took the initiative to clear early low-priced stockpiles. As a result, the inventory transitioned from the previous pattern of accumulation to destocking. The continuous release of low-priced supply suppressed magnesium prices, coupled with the market mentality of "buying when prices rise and not buying when prices fall," the market continued to operate under pressure.
