[SMM data] magnesium Ingot output in China in March 2020

[Cost Support Loosens and Inventory Diverges, Magnesium Ingot Transactions Remain Sluggish with Consolidation] Quotes for all grades of magnesium ingot were basically flat. The pullback in coal loosened cost support. Smelter inventory sentiment diverged, downstream users purchased as needed, and export circulation was hindered. Overall transactions were sluggish, and foreign trade of magnesium ingot is expected to continue consolidating in the short term.

[Smelters Hold Prices Firm but Deals Cool, Domestic and Overseas Markets Diverge] Today, magnesium ingot offers in Fugu varied by grade. Domestic smelters held prices firm, but high-price deals met resistance, with downstream buyers making only just-in-time procurement. Pullbacks in coal and ferrosilicon weakened cost support, and bearish sentiment in the market intensified. FOB offers in the overseas market rose in line with domestic ex-works prices. However, clients outside China remained cautious in taking orders, and high inventory levels left elevated offers lacking support from actual transactions. Overall, the market is caught in a tug-of-war between smelters holding prices firm and weak demand both domestically and overseas. In the short term, magnesium ingot prices are expected to move sideways.
