However, on Friday, the futures price plummeted. Although the spot price remained stable for the time being, some people in the industry said it was not optimistic about the later trend; Considering the production cost pressure of ferrosilicon, it is unlikely that the spot price would drop significantly. Pay close attention to the changes of supply and demand and the new round of steel bidding.

This week, the domestic metal magnesium market was restrained first and then raised. Although the inventory pressure of the factory was not large, the downstream procurement slowed down, the demand was weak, and the transaction was not ideal. The price quickly fell back to 2000 yuan per ton on Monday. With the price falling, some users began to replenish, and the price of raw material ferrosilicon rose again. On Thursday, the price of magnesium ingot stopped falling and rebounded. On Friday, the ex-factory cash quotation including tax of 99.9% magnesium ingots in Fugu area was about 36000 yuan per ton,It’s expected that the stable operation would be the main theme in the short term.
