Magnesite: Miners keep prices of high-grade natural magnsite stable with no hurry to sell. But concentrating mills lower the prices due to the decreased demand.
Fused magnesia: Owing to the reduced demand, most producers decrease prices to compete for orders.
Dead burned magnesia: Due to the shrunk downstream demand, producers lower prices to compete for orders.
Caustic calcined magnesia: Producers lower prices to compete for orders due to the weak downstream demand.
Magnesium aluminate spinel: Driven by increased alumina prices, spinel producers lift prices.
