Molybdenum market update on July 11, 2025
This week, the domestic molybdenum market exhibited a pattern of a significant initial increase followed by stabilization. Early in the week, driven by high downstream inquiry and procurement activity, tight raw material spot supply, rising international molybdenum prices, and multiple countries strengthening key mineral reserves, suppliers raised quotes noticeably. The largest single-day increases were approximately 170 yuan/ton-degree for molybdenum concentrate and 10,000 yuan/ton for ferro-molybdenum. Toward the weekend, as supportive factors weakened and downstream demand follow-through slowed, raw material prices entered a consolidation phase at high levels.
According to CTIA GROUP LTD statistics, this week molybdenum concentrate prices increased by approximately 190 yuan/ton-degree (a 4.96% rise), ferro-molybdenum prices increased by about 12,000 yuan/ton (a 4.92% rise), molybdenum oxide prices increased by around 190 yuan/ton-degree (a 4.80% rise), sodium molybdate prices increased by about 10,000 yuan/ton (a 5.92% rise), ammonium heptamolybdate prices increased by approximately 11,000 yuan/ton (a 4.64% rise), and molybdenum powder prices increased by about 23 yuan/kg (a 5.35% rise).
According to the National Bureau of Statistics, in June 2025, the national producer price index for industrial products decreased by 3.6% year-on-year; among these, mining industry prices decreased by 13.2%, raw material industry prices decreased by 5.5%, and processing industry prices decreased by 3.2%. In the same period, the producer purchase price index decreased by 4.3% year-on-year; among these, ferrous metal material prices decreased by 8.0%, chemical raw material prices decreased by 6.2%, building material and non-metal prices decreased by 2.6%, and non-ferrous metal material and wire prices increased by 2.4%.
