On October 28, 2021, the United States International Trade Commission ((ITC)) voted to make the third anti-dumping review on magnesium imports from China. The sunset review of the final determination of industrial damage, USITC ruled that the lifting of the current anti-dumping duty on magnesium imports from China may lead to the continuation or recurrence of material damage within a reasonably foreseeable period of time. According to the final verdict, the current anti-dumping measures in this case continue to be effective. In the ruling, Chairman Jason E. Kearns, Vice Chairman Randolph J. Stayin and members David S. Johanson, Rhonda K. Schmidtlein and Amy A. Karpel voted in favour.

On March 25, 2004, the US Department of Commerce launched an anti-dumping investigation on magnesium metal originating in China. On April 15, 2005, the United States formally imposed anti-dumping duties on magnesium metal originating in China. After the United States made its first affirmative decision on the sunset review of the above-mentioned products, the United States extended the anti-dumping duty on the products involved for the first time on March 11, 2011. The United States extended the anti-dumping duty on the products involved for the second time on July 21, 2016, after the United States made the final affirmative decision of the sunset review of the above-mentioned products. On June 1, 2021, the US Department of Commerce announced that it would launch the third sunset anti-dumping investigation into magnesium imports from China. On September 16, 2021, the US Department of Commerce announced that the third sunset review of anti-dumping of magnesium imported from China would be final.

Rising Coal Prices Boost Magnesium Ingot Costs, Prices Up to 15,800-15,900 Yuan/Ton
【SMM Magnesium Express】On August 27, the starting auction price of Hongliulin lump coal, a raw material for blue carbon, stood at 800 yuan/ton, up 20 yuan/ton from the previous period; the auction volume was 77,500 tons, down 13,500 tons from the previous period; the average transaction price was 896 yuan/ton, up 80.82 yuan/ton from the average price of the previous period. The lowest auction price today is 894 yuan/ton, and the highest price is 902 yuan/ton. As the core raw material for primary magnesium smelting, the rising price of coal directly pushes up the production cost of primary magnesium manufacturers, creating strong cost-side support. Affected by this, smelting manufacturers have a strong reluctance to sell, and the quotation of magnesium ingots has been raised to 15,800-15,900 yuan/ton, an increase of 50 yuan/ton from earlier.

[SMM Analysis] Weak Overseas Demand Slows Exports; Lithium Manganese Oxide's Growth Dividend Temporarily Fades
China’s lithium manganese oxide industry boasts an extremely high self‑sufficiency rate with sufficient production capacity. Domestic consumption dominates market demand, while exports serve only as a supplementary channel, resulting in very low import dependence. According to customs data, China’s imports of lithium manganese oxide stood at merely 89.79 tonnes in 2025, and no import was recorded from January to April 2026.

[Magnesium Ingot Consolidates on a Weak Note This Week, Tug-of-War Between Sellers and Buyers Persists] This week, China's magnesium ingot prices edged down and consolidated on a weak note overall. On the supply side, production resumptions at enterprises that had been under maintenance led to increased supply and inventory, and some producers sold at a discount, while raw material costs provided downside support to prices. Foreign trade inquiries increased slightly, but clients outside China mainly focused on destocking. New order growth was limited and clients pushed notably for lower prices. Coupled with multiple external factors, traders were cautious in taking orders. China's downstream demand remained persistently weak. Processing fees for magnesium products were under pressure, and end-users mainly made just-in-time procurement. Combined with bearish factors such as industry substitution and enterprise maintenance, the demand side remained sluggish. In the short term, cost support and weak demand will form a tug-of-war, and magnesium prices will continue to consolidate on a weak note. Market attention should focus on the recovery of orders outside China after the summer break.
