SMM, April 30: SMM learned that the No. 3 smelter of Baiyin Nonferrous Group Co., Ltd. launched a public tender for 66 mt of Grade 1 refined cadmium starting today. According to official information, the base bidding price was set at a discount of 1,000 yuan/mt, with the highest bidder winning. A minimum of three registered bidders was required for the auction to proceed. The registration deadline is 17:00 on May 10, 2026, and bidding will start at 15:00 on May 11, 2026. Interested clients need to register as suppliers on the Longdao platform at www.longdaoyun.com. Market participants noted that trading sentiment in the cadmium market was relatively subdued, with insufficient buying interest from end-users, though prices remained relatively stable. As the end of Q2 and pre-summer break stockpiling approach, end-user stockpiling may increase in the future. Therefore, this tender is worth close attention, as it can reflect the strength of market demand to a certain extent.

In March 2026, Magrathea secured a $24 million Series A funding round and established Arkansas Magnesia in a joint venture with TETRA. The first-phase commercial plant has initiated engineering design. The company has independently developed a new generation of electrolysis technology, enabling green production of metallic magnesium from seawater and brine. As the project progresses, the U.S. domestic magnesium supply chain's self-sufficiency is expected to gradually strengthen.

Tianjin Port Magnesium Ingot Prices Stable Amid Sluggish Demand and Freight Challenges

[SMM Magnesium Express]Recently, the FOB price of magnesium ingots at Tianjin Port has stabilized at $2,330-$2,400 per ton. Overseas demand remains sluggish, with downstream automakers and die-casting plants adopting a wait-and-see approach, resulting in scarce new orders. The market is supported only by essential demand and long-term contracts. Domestically, manufacturers face inventory accumulation and payment pressure, compounded by planned shutdowns for maintenance at some smaller plants, creating room for negotiation in the market. Due to shipping companies reducing capacity and rising oil prices, freight rates across routes have fluctuated significantly, with tight vessel availability. Prices for routes to Europe, India, and South Korea show marked divergence, further constraining foreign trade deals. In the short term, the FOB price of magnesium ingots is caught between cost support and downward pressure, maintaining a weak and volatile overall trend.
