According to the report released by the World Steel Association, the US economy staged a strong recovery after the pandemic as the Federal Reserve sharply raised interest rates to address inflation. Economic growth in the US is expected to be limited by recessionary pressures in 2023-2024. Also, investors should be wary of the spillover effects of the recent Silicon Valley Bank bankruptcy. Steel demand in the US is expected to grow by 1.3% in 2023 and 2.5% in 2024, after falling by 2.6% in 2022.

【Flash | Lower-Priced Overseas Oxide Deal Weighs on China’s Molybdenum Market】

SMM learned that a European stainless steel producer purchased 3 truckloads of molybdenum oxide briquettes yesterday totaling about 75 tonnes. On DDP basis, one truck traded at $33.65/lb Mo, while the other two traded at $33.80/lb Mo each. The lowest-priced lot was supplied by an international trader and nets back to about $33.20/lb Mo after freight and other charges. Market sources said this lot may be Armenian-origin, although this remains unconfirmed. The other two trucks were supplied by major international molybdenum suppliers. Market feedback suggests that news of the lower-priced overseas deal may have contributed to the sharp weakening in China’s market sentiment this afternoon, with ferromolybdenum transactions falling from about RMB345,000/tonne yesterday to RMB341,000/tonne.
