Weak Downstream Demand Weighs on Spot Prices [SMM EMM Weekly Review]
Apr 18, 2025 15:50SMM Weekly Review: Weak Downstream Demand Pressures Spot Prices to Drop. By the end of this week, the domestic average spot price of EMM was 13,350-13,550 yuan/mt, down 50 yuan/mt WoW. The FOB price was $1,870-1,900/mt, flat WoW. According to SMM, on the supply side, EMM plants showed a strong tendency to hold back from selling, mostly maintaining a hold back from selling stance. Some EMM plants still had a willingness to sell, with offers dropping slightly. On the demand side, downstream buyers had low acceptance of high-priced EMM during the week, resulting in limited transactions in the EMM market, mostly driven by price reduction purchases.
