Market deficit expected throughout H1 2011

摘要

The combination of strong demand and curbed output pushes molybdenum prices to higher levels in the first two months of 2011. Yet, with Chinese molybdenum units soon re-surfacing on the market, will demand continue to outpace supply? In the short term, analysts expect Chinese producers to take note of their colleagues' strategies and hold on to their produce in anticipation of higher prices. It is thus possible that molybdenum prices are to rise further now that the Spring Festival has ended.
