Dear Customer, To keep pace with the rapid development of the recycled copper raw materials industry and meet the market's demand for in-depth analysis of the recycling industry and the supply-demand pattern of copper cathode, our company has conducted a comprehensive optimization of the data model. We are now systematically upgrading and adjusting the standards and content of China's monthly supply-demand balance data for recycled copper raw materials, with the following treatment applied to historical data: I. Adjustments This upgrade primarily optimizes and updates the following indicators in the balance table: "Supply of Old Scrap from Recycled Copper Raw Materials," "Supply of New Scrap from Recycled Copper Raw Materials," "Processing Volume of Recycled Copper Raw Materials," and "Smelting Volume of Recycled Copper Raw Materials." (Data modification path: Database > Copper > SMM Recycled Copper > Monthly Supply-Demand Balance Table for Copper Scrap) II. Historical Data Treatment Historical monthly supply-demand balance data for recycled copper raw materials will no longer be updated starting from September 2025. Subsequent data will be uniformly released under the new standard, with the revised data retroactively applied from January 2025. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact the SMM Customer Service Team. Thank you for your continued support and trust! IV. Effective Date Effective from January 1, 2026 SMM Information & Technology Co., Ltd. SMM Copper Research Team Liang Kaihui 86-21-5159-5826 December 19, 2025

In recent years, with the steady development of Malaysia's manufacturing and stainless steel processing industries, the local stainless steel scrap recycling system has become increasingly mature. The number of recyclers, sorting facilities, and reprocessing enterprises has grown significantly, and the proportion of locally recycled scrap in the circular economy continues to rise, providing strong support for regional stainless steel raw material supply. Meanwhile, Malaysia has become one of the main sources of stainless steel scrap imported by India. According to trade statistics, Malaysia exported approximately 107,000 tons of stainless steel scrap to India in 2024, reflecting strong linkage between the two countries in raw material recycling. Large domestic recycling and processing enterprises possess advanced sorting and reprocessing capabilities, enabling them to classify and process regional scrap and steadily supply high-quality materials to major Asian stainless steel producers in Japan, South Korea, and elsewhere. Against the backdrop of a diversified regional raw material structure and growing value of recycled resources, Malaysia's domestic ex-works stainless steel scrap prices have become an important reference indicator for the Southeast Asian stainless steel industry. To meet market demand, enhance price transparency, and help industry participants stay informed of regional price trends, SMM announces that effective October 30, 2025 , it will officially launch: Malaysia 304 SS Scrap,Ex-works Malaysia,USD/tonne Price specifications: Description: Malaysia 304 SS Scrap,Ex-works Malaysia,USD/tonne Quality: Commercial practice standard. Approx. Ni 8%, Cr 18%, non-magnetic, clean scrap, free from oil, coating, and visible impurities. No radioactive or hazardous waste. Definition: Ex-works Malaysia Unit: USD/tonne Quantity: Minimum 10 tonnes Timing: Prompt Publication: 11:30 a.m. Kuala Lumpur time Payment Terms: Cash on same day，other payment terms normalized SMM Nickel & Stainless Steel Industry Research Department October 29, 2025

Dear Client, To keep pace with the rapid development of the magnesium metal industry and the growing need for supply-demand pattern analysis, our company has deeply optimized the data model based on the SMM Magnesium Database and is now systematically upgrading and adjusting the data standards and historical data related to magnesium metal in China. The details are as follows: I. Data Standard Upgrades and Data Revision Notes Background of Adjustments With the rapid growth in demand for magnesium alloys in the downstream sector of magnesium metal, the market landscape is evolving rapidly. For instance, technological iterations in die-casting equipment, differences in the penetration rate of thick and thin magnesium alloy die-cast parts, and recycling rates, among other multidimensional factors, have a significant impact on the production of recycled magnesium. To promptly address the industry's need for supply-demand pattern analysis amid its rapid development, adjustments have been made to the data collection standards for "recycled magnesium production," "primary magnesium production," and "total magnesium metal demand," with historical data also being revised. Previous data collection did not account for the supply of recycled magnesium, which could lead to significant deviations in supply estimates. As the SMM Magnesium Database becomes increasingly comprehensive and detailed, a more robust model has been established. Adjustment Details - Data Source Upgrade: Upgraded from a single primary magnesium market supply and demand dataset to the establishment of a dual supply-demand model for magnesium metal, encompassing both primary and recycled sources. - Revision Scope: Historical data from January 1, 2023, to the present (including retrospective revisions and future forecasts).
