The Association of tungsten APT, again guided powder weaker business confidence frustrated. This week the price of tungsten or have a small drop. For tungsten, iron manufacturers, the start is still to fully recover, so procurement is still in the doldrums; although the downstream steel prices have been warming trend, but the price of raw materials prices down severely.

Ganzhou Tungsten Industry Association April tungsten market forecast price: wolframite 86,000 yuan / ton mark, APT13.3 yuan / ton, the particles 215 yuan / kg (Ganzhou APT processing business is not low fees at 12,000 yuan / ton).

The March for forecasting price in: wolframite 86,000 yuan / ton mark, APT13.5 yuan / ton, the particles 219 yuan / kg. Concentrate steady, APT and powder down.

Industry analysts believe that the tungsten concentrate prices steady guidance that reason, but also in the unexpected. Concentrate in the first quarter of the successive rise, making downstream tungsten iron manufacturers reduce procurement; coincides with the Chinese New Year holidays and steel maintenance, resulting in sluggish market demand; therefore most of the manufacturers to stop production and consumption of inventory based. So concentrate price gains difficult to continue, April steady. But for tungsten iron manufacturers, the start is still to fully recover, so procurement is still in the doldrums; although the downstream steel prices have been warming trend, but the price of raw materials prices down severely. So ferro-tungsten prices continue to decline, the overall order-based production operations, reduce inventory risk.
