Price Trends of China's Molybdenum Products in June 2025

I. Analysis of China’s Molybdenum Price Trends in June 2025

According to CTIA GROUP LTD, in June 2025, the price trends of China’s molybdenum raw materials and molybdenum chemical products perged slightly: molybdenum raw material prices followed a pattern of initial increase, stabilization, then decline, while molybdenum chemical product prices remained stable before declining.

Notably, most product prices in June reached new highs for the year, with molybdenum concentrate and ferromolybdenum peaking at approximately 3,870 yuan/ton-degree and 250,000 yuan/ton, respectively, representing increases of about 19.08% and 20.19% compared to mid-April.

In the molybdenum raw material market, prices continued to rise at the beginning of the month, driven by tight spot supply and steady downstream demand, extending the upward trend from May. Mid-month, as downstream acceptance of high-priced goods waned and bullish support weakened, prices entered a high-level consolidation phase. By the end of the month, the continuous decline in steel tender prices led suppliers to rationally lower quotes. In the molybdenum chemical market, during the first and middle parts of the month, stable raw material prices and essential procurement by terminal customers kept holder quotes steady. Toward the end of the month, influenced by falling raw material prices and poor future expectations, product prices began to trend downward.
