Future trends to watch for:

Monitoring geopolitical impacts on supply chain consistency.
Technology advancements in steel production influencing molybdenum demand.
Economic shifts that might alter import volumes, potentially from alternative suppliers.
Environmental regulations impacting the mining and processing of ores.
