Kramer, D A

U.S. primary magnesium metal production declined slightly in 1993 and imports, primarily from Russia and Ukraine, provided an increased percentage of domestic demand. In addition, inventories of magnesium increased significantly from the low level at the end of 1992. These increases in inventories and imports prompted two of the three U.S. producers to announce cutbacks in production rates near the end of 1993. This oversupply situation was reflected in free market prices for primary magnesium during the year. Prices dropped steadily through the first three quarters of 1993 before rebounding slightly during the last 3 months.
