This week, the transaction prices in the upstream molybdenum concentrate market surged significantly again, while the increase in ferromolybdenum transaction prices lagged behind. Steel tenders slowed down, and the bidding prices were lower than market quotes. Based on the immediate cost of molybdenum concentrate raw materials, the industry still showed a slight inversion. In the short term, it is difficult to change the tight supply situation of molybdenum concentrate, and there is no expectation of a callback in ferromolybdenum costs, which will remain high.
