Report summary
In February, molybdenum and vanadium prices continued trending upwards amid bullish market sentiment and supply concerns since the start of 2022. Niobium prices remained flat after registering their gains since January. As 2023 progresses, we expect noble alloy prices to soften throughout the year. However, the new heights that have been reached will keep some alloy prices more elevated than in 2022. Please read our report to find out more about these trends, our forecast and the latest movements in the market.
