The selection of tungsten concentrate and APT
1) Tungsten concentrate and APT are good varieties, from the point of price advantage, the price of tungsten concentrate it is indisputable fact,leading the APT and even the whole industry chain.But tungsten concentrate is not standardized, lack of national standard and possible adulteration and other adverse factors. As our tungsten concentrate a large number of mining, no high quality new mines at present stage, found that the original mining grade decreases faster, as if choosing tungsten concentrate trading varieties, the whole delivery, inventory and inspection will be unable to standardization.
2) Tungsten industry chain are dominant oligopoly by China Minmetals Corporation, more than 55% of the mining controlled by China Minmetals Corporation.
3)In contrast, APT is larger in circulation, and the downstream demand is widespread.What's more, APT global industry acceptance is high,and standardization is easy, compared to tungsten concentrate more suitable for access to the exchange platform for trading. In terms of Prices, despite the APT not as the leading role of tungsten concentrate, but APT is the direct product of tungsten concentrate, in the front end of the industrial chain, and the correlation is high, the price of tungsten concentrate more for trading.
The advantage of replacing tungsten bars with APT
1) Tungsten (APT) replace tungsten bars is not involved in the change of the industry, but we use better liquidity (APT) replaced the tungsten bars, tungsten from export data is not difficult to draw tungsten (APT) the advantage position in the export of tungsten. On the other hand, the global LED lighting is a big trend, the original tungsten bars, one of the main use of traditional lighting industry showed a trend of shrinking, with a wider range of application of tungsten (APT) replace tungsten bars to save for a rainy day.
2) The strategic of tungsten is a scarce resource, China tungsten based reserves decline rate significantly increased, and the demand for tungsten industrial has obvious rigid, even at the present stage in the global economy is still in a slow recovery, tungsten industry still maintain the contrarian steadily rising trend. Began earlier this year, the national level to start the purchase and storage mechanism, tungsten leader China minmetals also purchasing measures, comprehensively promote domestic tungsten industry chain prices, APT price breakthrough in the middle of June 200000. From tungsten concentrate mining quotas have fallen sharply this year also can verify the national level the strategic position began to focus on this kind of rare metals tungsten.
3) From the tungsten concentrate and APT past price trends, not obvious at this stage of recovery in the global economy, the tungsten industry chain has been out of the apparent rebound in prices stabilising, believe that with further warming global macro economy, after the tungsten (APT) replace tungsten bars, the variety of goods and capital capacity may show significantly increased; Price activity and market participation could improve significantly.
