What are the reasons for the decline in molybdenum bar prices?
The reasons for the decline in molybdenum bar prices may be as follows:
1. Global economic growth slowdown: When global economic growth slows, the reduction in demand will lead to a decline in molybdenum bar prices.
2. Weak demand: As an industrial raw material, the demand for molybdenum bars mainly comes from high-temperature alloys, electronic products, chemical products and other fields. When the demand for these industries is weak, the price of molybdenum bars will fall.
3. Adequate supply of raw materials: When the output of molybdenum ore increases or the inventory of molybdenum ore increases, the abundant supply of raw materials will lead to a decline in the price of molybdenum bars.
4. Trade wars and geopolitical tensions: Global trade wars or geopolitical tensions may have an impact on the price of molybdenum bars, especially when the import and export of molybdenum ore is affected, which will cause the price of molybdenum bars to fall.
5. Technological progress and the emergence of substitutes: With technological progress and the emergence of substitutes, the demand for molybdenum bars will decrease, leading to a drop in prices.
