Expected market outlook
Recently, the magnesium market has been on the low side, with few inquiries from magnesium enterprises in the main producing areas, mainly pre-shipment orders, and few new orders. Affected by poor downstream demand, some manufacturers have signs of downward shipment. However, based on the influence of raw material ferrosilicon and coal price factors, we will focus on the market to consider the changes of cost factors in the later period. It is expected that domestic magnesium ingot prices will be weak and stable in the short term.
