China's Imports of Other Antimony Ore and Concentrates Continued to Rise Sharply MoM in April [SMM Report]

SMM News on May 20: According to customs data, China's imports of other antimony ores and concentrates in April 2026 reached 1,367.99 mt, continuing to rise significantly MoM from 9,262.27 mt in March, and surpassing the 10,000 mt mark for the first time this year. Market participants noted that, with overseas antimony prices continuing to decline recently, the price spread between domestic and overseas markets has narrowed notably, making the increase in antimony ore imports reasonable. However, many market participants stated that the long-term tightness in imported antimony raw materials is expected to persist going forward.
