Sodium Molybdate Price - May 30, 2022

At the beginning of the week, China’s ferro molybdenum, molybdenum powder and sodium molybdate prices are unchanged from last week. Under the influence of many uncertain factors, the mentality of buyers and sellers is slightly different, that is, suppliers have strong profit-taking psychology, and buyers have general demand. 

According to Chinatungsten Online, the positive factors include that many steel companies are still willing to bid for ferromolybdenum and Shanghai will dynamically revise the epidemic prevention and control guidelines for resumption of work and production. Negative factors include the strong price pressure sentiment of steel companies and the lack of confidence in molybdenum concentrate companies to stabilize prices.
