Molybdenum market update on April 18, 2025

The domestic molybdenum market in China exhibits a rebound from an oversold state, with prices of molybdenum concentrate and molybdenum oxide rising by approximately 10 yuan/ton-degree, and ferromolybdenum prices recovering to the 210,000 yuan/ton threshold.

Researchers from Fuzhou University have made a breakthrough in the field of photocatalysis. They innovatively adopted the method of doping molybdenum (Mo) into the lattice of tungsten trioxide (WO₃), which significantly improved the photocatalytic performance of tungsten trioxide.

Recently, researchers have prepared a printable flexible triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) based on two-dimensional tungsten disulfide (WS₂), which is used for efficiently harvesting the ubiquitous mechanical energy in the environment and thus helps to explore greener and cleaner energy resources.

Recently, information from the official website of the Jiangxi Provincial Development and Reform Commission shows that in March 2025, among the 65 kinds of essential living goods for residents included in the monitoring list, the average prices of 13 items increased, 47 items decreased, and 5 items remained unchanged on a month-on-month basis. Among industrial production materials, the price of steel decreased, the price of tungsten concentrate decreased, the price of rare earths increased slightly, and the overall price of sand and gravel decreased slightly.
