Ferromolybdenum Prices - November 25, 2024

At the start of the week, the domestic molybdenum market remained weak but stable overall. Transaction prices for molybdenum concentrate and ferromolybdenum were consolidated at approximately 3,710 CNY/ton unit and 240,000 CNY/ton, respectively. 

Notably, despite heightened pressure from steel companies to lower prices recently, most molybdenum mining enterprises have maintained relatively stable quotations. However, a slight increase in international molybdenum prices and rising inquiry activity from ferromolybdenum traders have led to an uptick in molybdenum raw material transaction volumes.

Recently, several steel enterprises have entered the market to bid for ferromolybdenum, including Huaigang Special Steel, Shougang Qian’an Steel, Baosteel Baoshan, Zhongnan Steel, and Deyang Erzhong.
