Magnesia supply issues ahead in China, market says

摘要

Chinese magnesia market participants believe production stoppages and the resulting supply cut will impact domestic prices, although material continued to flow out of the country at lower values due to the lifting of the export quota in end-2016. Though the value of magnesia exported from China in January plummeted, according to customs data, the situation in early March showed potential for a price increase according to market participants who pointed to possible domestic supply shortages going forward.
