Despite an increase in inquiries for magnesium alloy and other products, downstream buyers drove down prices, resulting in limited actual transactions. The game between buyers and sellers continued. It is expected that in the short term, magnesium prices will still be dominated by producers, maintaining a doldrums trend.

As the delivery shipment date approaches, the trading frequency of traders has increased. According to feedback from foreign traders, although market inquiries have increased, especially for magnesium alloy products, actual transaction orders remain limited due to the firm attitude of downstream customers in driving down prices. The overall trading volume in the market remains low, with buyers and sellers continuing to engage in price negotiations. It is expected that magnesium ingot prices in the future market will still be dominated by producers, with an overall weak and stable trend likely to persist.
