Currently, domestic molybdenum prices are running steadily, with stable steel mill tenders and mine shipments entering the market, ensuring a stable operation of the molybdenum market.
Regarding the outlook for molybdenum, overall, supported by raw material costs and the approaching Chinese New Year break, molybdenum prices are expected to remain stable in the short term. As for the medium and long-term trend, attention should be paid to whether downstream demand, such as stainless steel, will improve.
