Molybdenum Powder Price - January 11, 2023

Molybdenum market quotation in China: molybdenum powder, sodium molybdate and ammonium molybdate prices continue to pick up on January 11, 2023. 

The increase was mainly due to the less release of production capacity of molybdenum mining enterprises, the active steel recruitment market, the limited import of molybdenum raw materials, and the obvious psychology of buyers to buy up rather than down. However, as the price of molybdenum soars, the risks in the future market will also increase, so investors should operate with caution.

From the perspective of the supply side, when the original spot inventory was not much, affected by factors such as the accelerated spread of the epidemic in many places, stricter environmental protection policies, and low temperatures, the output of some molybdenum manufacturers has shrunk, coupled with the heat of the molybdenum import market The problem of tight spot supply of molybdenum raw materials is more difficult to alleviate.

From the perspective of demand, with the adjustment and optimization of epidemic prevention and control measures, most manufacturers have accelerated their resumption of work and production. In addition, as the Spring Festival is approaching, in order to ensure that enterprises can operate normally before and after the Spring Festival, many downstream users have a stronger awareness of completing their procurement plans ahead of schedule. At present, enterprises such as Jiangsu Yonggang, Shougang Group and Valin Lianyuan Iron and Steel have successively entered the market to invite bids for ferromolybdenum.
