SMM5 18 magnesium ingot spot comment: today's domestic 999 magnesium ingot Fugu area mainstream factory transaction price of 13100 yuan / ton, Wenxi area mainstream factory transaction price of 13400 yuan / ton, down 100 yuan / ton compared with last weekend.

Half of May has passed, and the actual trading volume of the magnesium ingot market in the first half of the month is relatively low. first of all, most of the lower reaches made short-term inventory to save freight before May Day, and secondly, the price rose slightly after May Day, slightly higher than the downstream psychological price, so the lower reaches of the first half of the month mainly digested pre-inventory. At present, domestic sales are still dominated by downstream demand, so the price reduction is not very stimulating to the market transaction.

Cost expectations weaken, magnesium ingot market prices fall rapidly [SMM Magnesium Ingot Spot Express]

[Weakening cost expectations drive magnesium ingot prices sharply lower] The magnesium ingot market ended its brief shot up today, with prices drifting lower. Pullbacks in coal and ferrosilicon cooled expectations for cost support, and under high inventory and capital pressure, smelters rushed to offer low-priced spot magnesium. Downstream demand was already weak, and combined with wild swings in the market, confidence is lacking and wait-and-see sentiment is strong.
