China raise export quotas of tungsten to relieve the stress of American suppliers

The export quotas of four kinds of tungsten products in China are totaling 11,955 tons in the first half of 2010, increasing nearly 10 percent compared to those in 2009.

In spite of the significant increase in quotas, the price of tungsten remains high. A Western supplier said, “The pricing power is at the disposal of Chinese sellers. I think the price will raise further.” He thought the high price of tungsten was the reason for China to increase export quotas. “The price of tungsten kept at 200 dollars per ton last year. They won’t increase quotas as such if the price is not so high. They are well-prepared.”

Another factor affecting American buyers is the returning of DLA Supply Team. DLA has stopped participating in the market since May, 2010, worsening the tungsten supply situation. But it is predicted to resume sales of tungsten products as early as in February. DLA is prudent in its sale plans, “Selling inventory of goods can’t fundamentally meet goods demand. Strategic goods have been more and more important.”
