Molybdenum market update on December 15, 2025
On Monday, the domestic molybdenum market overall maintained a stable and slightly weak trend. As downstream users' enthusiasm for inquiries and procurement decreased and production costs provided insufficient support for product prices, some molybdenum mining enterprises lowered their quotations. Today, the prices of molybdenum concentrate and molybdenum oxide both decreased by approximately RMB 20 per ton-degree. However, it is worth noting that in order to avoid the risk of cost-profit inversion, the quotations from intermediate molybdenum smelting enterprises and chemical enterprises showed no significant changes. Among them, the prices of ferromolybdenum, sodium molybdate, and molybdenum powder are approximately RMB 240,000 per ton, RMB 173,000 per ton, and RMB 238,000 per ton, respectively.
