Molybdenum Market - September 18, 2025

Molybdenum market update on September 18, 2025

The domestic molybdenum market continues to exhibit a weak oscillatory pattern, with limited bullish support and widespread cautious concern among industry players about future trends. 

As a result, many suppliers are inclined to accelerate inventory turnover through price reductions, though the decline in product prices remains moderate. Today, the prices of molybdenum concentrate and ferromolybdenum have decreased to approximately 4,470 yuan per ton-unit and 284,000 yuan per ton, respectively.

From a bullish perspective, first, the recent continuous decline in molybdenum product prices has stimulated some consumers to increase their purchasing enthusiasm at lower levels; second, the current "Golden September and Silver October" consumption peak season, combined with robust development trends in aerospace, electronics, and other industries, provides effective support for molybdenum product demand.

From a bearish perspective, first, the conclusion of the military parade and the gradual completion of maintenance work by some molybdenum manufacturers have accelerated the growth of raw material supply in the market; second, the ongoing downward adjustment of international molybdenum prices and the difficulty in raising steel bidding prices have undermined holders' confidence in maintaining prices.

In terms of news, according to the China Iron and Steel Association, in the first ten days of September 2025, the steel inventory of key statistical steel enterprises reached 15.82 million tons, increased by 5.6% from the previous period, increased by 27.9% compared to the beginning of the year, increased by 5.0% compared to the same period last month, increased by 5.7% compared to the same period last year, and increased by 0.1% compared to the same period two years ago. By region, steel inventories in Northeast China increased by 70,000 tons, North China by 60,000 tons, East China by 550,000 tons, Central-South China by 270,000 tons, Northwest China decreased by 80,000 tons, and Southwest China decreased by 10,000 tons.
