Molybdenum: wrecked by Covid-19 in 2020, bouncing back in 2021
Report summary
Weakening demand forced molybdenum oxide prices down from their US$12/lb plateau in the second half of 2019. Despite recovering moderately in early 2020, demand destruction at the hands of Covid-19 then sent them to their lowest level since 2017. As the world slips further into recession, the risks are very much on the downside. However, project deferrals and changes in mine plan at some key operations signals that tighter supply in 2021 could allow prices to rally.
