Early higher offer businesses Hebei region also began to cut, the range of about 2 yuan / kg, but the market volume was declining, businesses receipt actively poor, will ship nor strong.

Waste tungsten material prices remain steady mainstream. Currently 50-70 degrees scrap tungsten concentrate price grinding material between 1.64-1.7 yuan / kWh, 30-40 degrees grinding material concentrated in the 1.4-1.5 yuan / kWh. Given the current market is still in decline Scheelite channel, it is also difficult to sustain strong scrap prices are expected to decline in the short-term outlook is still possible.

Overseas tungsten City continued maintenance of stability.

This week tungsten concentrate prices are constantly refreshed daily low, demand for light, are less probability of market transactions and the number of expected risk of late still slipped.

It is understood that 55-60 grade scheelite concentrate on the mainstream market price 9.2-9.3 yuan / ton, and this price is still strong willingness buyers continued to weigh on prices. Ore prices continue to decline main causes is more prominent contradiction between supply and demand, oversupply, and this gap continues to pull Dazhong:

On the one hand, tungsten concentrate supply continued to increase; For now the market price, the mine is still some profit, so most of the mines remained exploitation; Meanwhile, the market had had a lot of historical inventory and shipments will increase traders, APT wait for the next downstream smelters family have received many miners offer every day.

On the other hand, the downstream market started shrinking, reducing the consumption of tungsten concentrate. Terminal Carbide no longer marketable, small manufacturers and more discontinued, medium-sized manufacturers have cut production run, and many planned maintenance shutdown recent advance; midstream tungsten products smelter family also reduce the operating rate, for example, less than half of the factory operating rate APT, tungsten, iron manufacturers manufacturers started only single digits.

Tungsten market: tungsten market continued to slump, sluggish downstream demand carbide, tungsten market turnover difficult to obtain effective breakthrough, tungsten concentrate prices continued dropping tentative, tungsten powder and tungsten carbide market running low, the market generally pessimistic attitude, low-cost resources also will be gradually increased. However, the weak market, the downstream waiting to see atmosphere, the overall turnover difficulties. APT factory operating rate decreased, market prices continue to decline, smaller profit margins of manufacturers, the product is relatively slow-moving, with the raw material of tungsten concentrate prices continue downward, is expected to post 60 or tungsten concentrate prices are expected to fall below 95,000 yuan / ton.
