In the early stage, the market price of magnesium ingots fell to RMB 12,100/ton, and the profit margin of magnesium enterprises fell. Based on the consideration of cost factors, domestic mainstream manufacturers have sharply increased their willingness to stand up prices, and the influence of cost factors on prices has gradually increased. Unlike when profitable, the supply and demand side is weaker, and buyers will benefit in the long-short game. The influence of supply and demand factors on prices weakened.
