As a result of the influence of the environmental protection check, many smelters in jiangxi ganzhou region still difficult to resume production, market supply to nervous, but buyers is not very urgent, and it didn't push prices up, and tungsten powder and tungsten concentrate also continue to maintain the status quo, high stalemate.
The tungsten market is light, the intention of shipment at the tungsten end is not very strong, but smelters by circulation is difficult, also dare not easily flange, so it's like a game between the upstream and downstream,surge of APT and low tungsten concentrate has formed a relatively significant price differential, currently on the market 65 tungsten is 11.2 yuan/tons, high prices do not sell,low prices do not ship, in the short term the market will maintain the status quo, but in the long run, if environmental problems difficult to solve, then the price of tungsten are hard to break.
APT market hasn't changed much, still remain high state of stalemate, the market reference transaction price is very limited, reference price in 18.1-182000 yuan/ton, the spot price basically is controlled in 182000 yuan/ton, but for that price, the acceptance of the downstream enterprises is not high, and smelters is affected by environmental protection,large area of production maintenance makes APT supply still in short supply, so the market supply and demand are weak, maintaining the status quo for the time being.
Tungsten powder prices remain unchanged, tungsten carbide quoted price 280 yuan/kg, it is a very difficult to break through the barrier, it's hard to accept these prices for downstream, alloy demand weak, price adjustment is difficulties, inventories are now in consumption,and demand the release is very limited, short-term powder market is given priority to with high rigidity.
Overview, main raw materials market maintain status quo, neither the buyer nor the seller has any urgent ideas, the demand and supply are depressed, but from a long-term perspective, I'm afraid the price is difficult to have a larger breakthrough if demand side continue to be so cold and cheerles
