The current supply-demand pattern in the magnesium ingot market has undergone certain changes, driving magnesium prices to rise continuously: On the supply side, there has been a persistent shortage of spot magnesium ingot resources coupled with rising production costs. Magnesium ingot producers have a strong reluctance to sell, with low willingness to sell at low prices and a strong tendency to refuse to budge on prices. On the demand side, the traditional pattern has been broken, as the overseas market did not enter the off-season demand period due to summer maintenance. Instead, it exhibited "stronger-than-usual off-season" characteristics in early July, with increased activity in foreign trade procurement, providing demand-side support for magnesium prices. Under the combined effect of structural changes on both the supply and demand sides, magnesium prices have risen for three consecutive times.
