Magnesium Inventory Rises 1.33% MoM Amid High Prices and Reduced Supply Pressure
【SMM Weekly Magnesium Inventory Briefing】This week, the national inventory of primary magnesium smelting enterprises increased by 1.33% month-on-month. While primary magnesium smelting enterprises in major production regions suspended production for maintenance this week, leading to a notable reduction in supply pressure, the inventory of magnesium ingots still registered an upward trend. The primary reason is that driven by the sharp surge in coal prices, magnesium prices have risen substantially, and quotations from primary magnesium smelting enterprises remain at a high level. Meanwhile, holders are offloading goods in the market at low prices, and most market transactions are concentrated on digesting social inventories, which has diverted the already scarce purchase orders, resulting in a slight increase in magnesium ingot inventory.
