SMM

On August 21, SMM reported that customs data showed China's imports of other antimony ore and concentrates in July 2025 were 2,307.13 mt, up from 1,824 mt in June, rebounding and once again exceeding the 2,000 mt mark. Market participants indicated that antimony prices have stabilized recently, but due to the still significant price difference between domestic and overseas antimony products, a substantial increase in imported antimony ore is relatively unlikely. The long-term trend of tight supply for imported antimony raw materials will continue. Therefore, in the short term, it is likely that many producers will continue to cut production or halt operations.
