MSM Trade Highlights
MSM Trade Highlights | June 2026
What Changed
Supply growth is becoming harder to absorb
New and maturing origins are adding volume at the same time that kernel buyers remain cautious.
China is becoming more selective
China remains a major force in NIS demand, but stronger domestic production and stricter quality selection are changing the trade equation.
US and European inventories are still weighing on demand
Major kernel markets are clearing earlier stock, encouraging buyers to keep orders smaller and more tactical.
Soft pricing could stimulate demand
Stable supply at better value may support downstream product development if the industry can convert buyer caution into new demand.
