Reaching for recovery

Has the molybdenum market reverted to type? A spectacular rally has been followed by a dramatic correction, then months of subdued trading at low price levels. There are, however, differences to the traditional pattern. The 2004-8 rally was sustained for much longer than past price spikes. The correction has been even more abrupt than in previous downturns. And for much of the time since prices have drifted on downward, only recently inding a floor and tentatively lifting again.

2009 DECEMBER - THERE IS AN UPDATE AVAILABLE

Molybdenum Outlook


The Molybdenum Outlook will help you and your company find answers to the pressing questions facing the molybdenum industry. These questions include:

  • Steel accounts for three quarters of molybdenum off take.  How quickly could alloy steels recover?
  • China has made an abrupt switch from major exporter to major importer.  What lies behind this dramatic transformation?
  • What has been the response of producers to recession?  Why has by-product output fallen heavily?
  • When, where and how could molybdenum supply recover?
  • What does it cost to produce molybdenum?
  • Is there still an opportunity for new producers?
  • Has the industry banished the threat of a roaster bottleneck for good?

  • Production data for every Western World mine.
  • Profiles of all Western World mines and roasters.
  • Production costs at primary producers.
