Scrap tungsten prices have reportedly dropped from around $14.50-15 per pound to about $13 per pound in approximately a month.

There are a number of theories as to why this is happening. One business owner says that there are suspicions in the tungsten industry of hoarding. Another said it is likely that the big buyers are trying to force a price correction.

Kevin Anetsberger, General Manager of Midwest Tungsten Service, explained that a lot of what is going on right now are seasonal effects.

Kevin Anetsberger, General Manager of Midwest Tungsten Servicesaid it must be remembered that there is a correlation between scrap tungsten and raw material prices, but the two markets are not the same.

According to Anetsberger, tungsten from recycled scrap has a more limited market and that market is largely associated with industrial needs. Industrial activity tends to slow down in the summer, he said.

Furthermore, he also noted that in the past few weeks, raw tungsten prices have begun dropping though at a slower pace.

For those experiencing these problems, buyers’ hesitation and their apparent bargaining power appears to make no sense given the overall tungsten market fundamentals. 

Certain principles are basic – supply shortages, current or forecasted – combined with growing demand drives up prices and limits consumers’ bargaining power. But, scrap dealers are seeing the exact opposite.

Joe Sery, CEO and Owner of Tungsten Heavy Powder, who said he has only heard of the slowdown from another dealer, confirmed that there are current shortfalls .

And that they will continue due to an increasing number of companies recycling scrap – another suggestion of a thriving industry.
