[Nickel]September nickel market prices would have risen?

Since June, Nickel City overall market downturn, with only small, and few transactions, the price has fallen very low, nickel, iron manufacturers are expected in August when the market will be slightly better, but from the current situation, no signs of improvement, so it looks forward to manufacturers in September in the time will get better, but most of the manufacturers for September or improved confidence, and even some manufacturers, said it should pressure losses, even businesses should goods, are not for sale.
But from the Nickel Plate situation, and outside was not very optimistic, today, the LME nickel inventories increase again after 1152 tons fell sharply. Nickel steady thereafter, but could not put the sharp rebound. Nickel closed at 28,150 US dollars, fell 52.50 2.60%. The stock has gone up dramatically, the specifications on the various aspects of the downstream looks at the empty afternoon, shortly whether stainless steel market remains stable, will determine the long-term price of nickel prices. Jinchuan Group and also put on today by the ex-factory price of 265,000 yuan / ton downward to 248,000 yuan / ton reduction from the 17,000 yuan / ton. Last week, as the price of nickel plate steady, and the businessmen that the city has fallen nickel bottom line, nickel-iron, nickel ore market some slightly active, Nickel received a number of businessmen from nickel iron manufacturers inquiry, but this week nickel plate prices began to fall after the nickel market returned to its quiet .
As we all know, at the end of 2002, China's total nickel reserves 2.5795 million tons. From the perspective of the static calculation, currently China's nickel reserves to be mined also about 40. So nickel resources are very rare and precious, and industry experts also called on the industry to save stainless steel with nickel, nickel reasonable. On the present depressed market conditions, the demand for serious than that is an indisputable fact, in the upstream and downstream sectors of supply and demand relationship and there is no change in circumstances, in September nickel City really good?

[V2O5] this week vanadium pentoxide a small price rise

Click here to see more information on Vanadium ore

This week, the price of vanadium pentoxide a certain rise in the Monday to Wednesday, the price has remained the last week, Thursday, the price will rise to some, the rise of 2,000 yuan / ton. Currently, 98% - vanadium prices 11.4-11.5 million / ton, while the price also rose a bit, the mainstream transaction price 114,000 / ton, up from the 113,000 / rose 10 million tons / tons, 98% of vanadium powder, current mainstream Price 11.2-11.4 10,000 / ton.
According to reflect businessmen this week, with the single increase to a certain extent, and transactions of last week's better than many, the cash is still very tense, so do businesses for a certain price upward. Hunan powder vanadium businesses, transactions are now 11.3-11.4 million in the transaction, the situation has certainly improved, but the end of the market, namely the European businesses off the end of the summer, or not to have too many expectations, so there are no thoughts of maize, produced on sales will be considered.
As in the 06, 810 days from the start, the European businesses continue to enter the procurement, ferrovanadium and vanadium pentoxide in a certain price increases, businesses are still looking forward to this year at this time can be improved, ferrovanadium domestic manufacturers to buy raw materials due to vanadium pentoxide difficulties, a farmer and the intention to do so to a certain price upward, the current mainstream Price 128,000 / ton. Ferrovanadium from home and abroad with the single still small, the volume remains small, the manufacturers of unilateral price increases, the market more desolate.
Most of the vanadium pentoxide manufacturers for the end of August or the market has expected, said when prices will certainly rise, the European business before the summer break reserve inventory should also consume the same, so will the market procurement, and a few business think it would be to September 10 in the Bank only some good feelings, after all this year, China's policy of vanadium pentoxide certain adjustment of the export tax rebate done canceled, even if the larger environment has not changed circumstances, the development of the market will have a different, even more, the policy has also done a certain degree of adjustment to the circumstances, this year's market whether we can maintain last year's development path, is a very questionable issue. But it is certain that the cash tension, coupled with the improvement in the European market, the price of vanadium pentoxide is definitely not a decline..

[Manganese ferroalloy] early August manganese ferroalloy market analysis

Click here to see more information on Manganese

Enter August, ferroalloy products showed signs of rising, especially iron and molybdenum Electrolytic Manganese rose very obvious, but the main reason is in August after the cash shortage. In mid - to late July to early August, the south part of the disaster mines and smelters home production affected to a certain degree, resulting in a sharp decline in output. Since July of steel procurement of raw materials off-season, ferroalloy production the impact does not seem apparent, ferroalloy market also made plain in late July the market to maintain a stable situation. But in the August, as demand for steel gradually restored, the supply of hidden contradictions gradually emerged, some ferroalloy product prices have risen accordingly.

Electrolytic Manganese DJMn99.7 price increases are very strong, but at the current market price, confusion has emerged tight supply on the market. In late July manufactured quotations in the domestic 17300-17500 yuan / ton to early August prices have risen 20000-21000 yuan to the price, ended last weekend (August 10) the area manufacturers are generally Price 22000-22500 yuan / ton, or even individual manufacturers reported 23,000 yuan / tons of high prices, while most manufacturers face a rapidly rising market is no longer offer. Not only manufacturers, including consumer and commercial traders of all market participants need time to adapt and accept such a market.

By contrast, manganese, silicon, manganese prices stable, manganese ore prices will not continue weak. It is learned that the ports along the supply of manganese ore spot tense situation, 48% of Australian ore prices for the 65-67 yuan / ton, Gabon 46-47% of the manganese ore prices 62 yuan / ton degrees. HCFeMn 65C7.0 current prices in 7200-7500 yuan / ton, carbon ferromanganese prices in the mainstream 17000-18000 yuan / ton; Domestic silicomanganese prices, FeMn65Si17 Price in the southern part of the 7300-7500 yuan / ton, in the northern region Price 7600-7900 yuan / ton .

[Ferro chrome] July China ferrochrome market decreased

After entering July, the domestic steel mills, continue to reduce production, its ferrochrome and other raw material procurement obviously slowed down, domestic ferrochrome price decline has started to decline, so far, in just a month's time, ferrochrome prices overall have dropped by 1,000 yuan / tons, but now the market performance of more chaos, major price is a much bigger gap, are high-carbon ferrochrome Price mainstream manufacturers in 8200 -8500 yuan / ton, and still 8,800 yuan / ton Price, South and the North existed 200 -300 yuan / ton-gap; carbon ferrochrome and low-priced at 12,000 yuan / ton, while the higher compared with 12,800 yuan / ton, 13,500 yuan / ton, or even 14,000 yuan / ton have; low carbon ferrochrome on the decline in most obviously, the largest declines, C25 low carbon ferrochrome prices in the mainstream 14500-14600 yuan / ton (60). Micro-carbon ferrochrome (C10) prices in the mainstream 15300 -16000 yuan / ton or less. Low-carbon ferrochrome 14,500 yuan / ton in the month following a lot, and 15,300 yuan / ton in the month is still there, Micro-carbon ferrochrome as low as 14,600 yuan / ton, in the high price of 16,000 yuan / ton, low carbon-carbon ferrochrome cash situation is poor.
In the current domestic situation in Pakistan, throughout the highs and lows of business quotations vary Price has a higher turnover will be difficult, and the lower bid price situation will be better, not far from satisfactory. Some of the civil service is sold to steel mills directly or fixed old clients of the manufacturers, but in terms of quantity but also reduces a lot.
Ferrochrome prices in the doldrums hard to three main factors :
First, demand greatly reduced. Stainless Steel Plant to reduce the procurement of direct combat ferrochrome producers enthusiasm in production, product marketing difficulties, increased stockpiles, cash flow difficulties, forcing some manufacturers to reduce production, production, as well as produce.
2 is chrome ore and other raw material at a high level. The high price of raw materials will have high production costs and product prices when costs reached the bottom line, So manufacturers shutdown is the time to go out of business.
3 is the price factor. Macroeconomic policies in the implementation of differentiated pricing, with the aim of raising some do not meet the requirements of the environmental management of the operating costs of manufacturers, making them "disappear" and eliminated.
The above principal factors exist, making the already lighter ferrochrome prices even worse, many production, cut off their businesses as soon as possible to "wipe out" the stock, for the low cost of dumping, while large manufacturers are still persist, This creates a price chaotic situation, but the industry believes that the consolidation will experience this kind of bumpy, Once survive the hard times, the next phase will be gradually coming out of the shadow, bright easy on the front!

[ferro manganese ]China ferro manganese market prices have been falling

Recently, China ferromanganese market prices have been declining, the transaction is very thin, market participants are mostly in a wait-and-see, the whole market is still at a relatively low state.
Last weekend, the Anshan Iron and Steel Company HCFeMn tender Up # 73 high-carbon ferromanganese plant to the tax-inclusive price of about 8,900 yuan / ton, which is equivalent to 8,000 yuan / ton base prices around Judging from the nationwide situation, the North # 65 high carbon ferromanganese prices in the overall 8,300 yuan / tons, and the southern part of the mainstream of the overall price of about 8,000 yuan / tons. Price throughout pre-term compared to the overall low, the current market cost and market demands, The prices are relatively reasonable. Furnace # 65 high-carbon ferromanganese production costs of about 7500 -7600 yuan / t% BF ferromanganese production costs were lower number, therefore, ferromanganese producers profits though the limited space But business is still viable.
As a result of recent market demand, ferromanganese producers have begun to reduce carbon ferromanganese sales price, Now the mainstream FeMn75C2.0 price has dropped to 10,000 yuan / t% and the mainstream feMn78C2.0 prices in 10,800 yuan / t% FeMn78C1.5 prices in the mainstream 11500 -11600 yuan / tons. Silicomanganese prices from declining trend, the price of low-carbon ferromanganese prices could not escape the fate.
Addition, the export market situation is also grim, although the United States, the European markets are relatively strong. But China's exports of silicomanganese ferromanganese prices and the price trend is downward. This is bound to domestic manganese alloy market pressure.

[Ferro manganese] analyze China ferro manganese prices reasons for the decline

Ferromanganese recent market prices decline mainly due Analysis :
1, 7-3 reduced demand, ferromanganese main demand from steel mills, Second from the foundry. In general steel procurement is to accept the quarter, while the second quarter of this month is the last month, the steel procurement diminishing, Meanwhile last week, the Northern Steel strategic resources seminar, which was convened in 21 steel for lower prices of raw material procurement, which included iron, therefore, the suppression of ferromanganese Steel purchase price is inevitable. also will bring the price of ferromanganese further sliding. In addition, the increasingly hot weather, some foundries have begun to gradually reduce production, the demand for ferromanganese have relatively reduced.
2, the traders reduced procurement volume. As traders in ferromanganese rose are all hoard goods, in the circumstances now demand, traders will also reduce the volume of procurement. not even procurement. Now, many traders are still selling pre-goods store.
3, silicon, manganese alloy prices fell by the joint role. Given the current market silicomanganese prices fell, silicomanganese FeMn65Si17 parts of the 7,500 yuan / ton prices can be obtained goods, therefore, carbon ferromanganese prices will inevitably decline, which to some extent affected the high-carbon ferromanganese prices. Silicomanganese FeMn65Si17 price 8,500 yuan / tons circumstances, FeMn65C7.0 high carbon ferromanganese prices in order to sell 8,500 yuan / ton, even 9,000 yuan / ton is more difficult.

From major international steel market operation, as the stock higher in June in southern flat wood facing declining import prices. North American market remained stable, despite the rebound in scrap prices, but weak demand, the prices of steel products to rise. Asian markets remained firm, China imposed tariffs, other parts of the Asian steel market to be supported, However, as China's domestic downturn, the late Asian market is still not optimistic. The overall situation, the short-term trend within the international market will remain steady weakening trend. Japan's domestic market has stabilized Scrap signs of picking up again. Scrap prices have begun to the United States rebounded. Overall judgment, in the short term the international iron and steel market will be expected to maintain the overall stability of the situation.
Mo Rail : Rail Europe molybdenum prices decline. Due to higher market prices, some sellers profit concluded, with buyers purchasing power weakened, led European ferro molybdenum prices fell slightly. Western 65-70% molybdenum iron tax-inclusive price for delivery from 77.5 to 78.5 U.S. dollars / kg, Before, the price of 78 to 79 U.S. dollars / kg. China 60% molybdenum iron Rotterdam warehouse delivery price at 75 to 76 U.S. dollars / 1000 grams, no transactions. But traders said ferro molybdenum Price is now 74 to 75 U.S. dollars / kg, as the local market is more sluggish. may drop to 74 dollars / kg. Meanwhile, the European warehouse delivery MoO3 price remained at 33.5 to 34 U.S. dollars / lb, if the price of the transaction, ferro molybdenum price must reach at least 80 U.S. dollars / 1000 grams, ferro molybdenum producers to make a profit.
Ferrochrome : Russian low carbon ferrochrome production to raise three quarters issued to the Japanese price. Russian ferrochrome producers -- Chelyabinsk Metallurgical Plant integrated improve its third quarter sent to Japan's low carbon ferrochrome prices, It is said that the highest carbon content of 0.1% low-carbon ferrochrome at the new price of 150 cents / lb (CIF Japan). Second quarter prices for the 135 to 140 cents / lb (CIF). Now Asia carbon 0.1% of the turnover of low carbon ferrochrome prices had reached 156 cents / lb (CIF Japan ), compared with the end of the five prices rose 10 cents / lb. Furthermore, Japan and South Africa, three quarters of the high carbon ferrochrome price negotiations to gain access to the main stage. South African producers have said the hefty increase in the third quarter of high carbon ferrochrome prices, Some South African producers to develop rose 15 to 20 cents / lb.
Ferromanganese : the third quarter of this year the European manganese ore and manganese alloy contract price will rise. Manganese production enterprises have said that as a shortage of manganese ore, manganese three quarters of the European and manganese alloy contract price increases of at least 25%. Among them, manganese ore contract prices may reach 3.6 U.S. dollars / ton degrees (FOB). higher than the second quarter and the 2.8 to 3.1 U.S. dollars / ton degrees. Manganese supply and demand negotiations will be launched in June. Manganese current spot price had risen to 3.3 to 3.6 U.S. dollars / ton degrees (FOB). for the 2005 third quarter and the highest level since. The third quarter of this year in Europe with silicon manganese alloy prices can soar to 900 to 1,000 euros / t, compared with the second quarter, rising from 25 to 32%.

[High-carbon ferrochrome] China shortly high carbon ferrochrome market conditions remained difficult predicament lift

Stainless steel due to the recent market downturn trend that directly affect upstream raw materials ferrochrome market is heading. Sustaining tired of ferrochrome prices in the cost of production under the high pressure situation alarming Recently ferrochrome market repeatedly hope out of its predicament. However, as downstream stainless steel industry boosted ineffective, chromium ore prices upstream temperature retire, in addition to price, transportation, and so on the rise, the ferrochrome industry is in the act's difficult situation.
According to the understanding, stainless steel products due to sluggish sales and profits low. domestic stainless steel prices and yield trend was continuing to decline, steel wantonly suppress the purchase price of raw materials, and try to reduce the number of the original purchase, so the high-carbon ferrochrome overall demand, in addition to many steel mills have inventory reserves, short term market demand is not obvious, thus leading to the current ferrochrome prices declined. Market sources, in accordance with the steel mills, the current inventory levels, production in June should be used to be self-satisfied. and the steel is also intended to reduce procurement time to reduce the funding pressure and waiting for the return of warmer stainless steel.
As steel inventory status and procurement attitude determines that the high carbon ferrochrome market demand will be relatively low. Moreover, imports ferrochrome competition, in June of domestic high-carbon ferrochrome market situation will be relatively difficult, the appropriate time prices are likely to show a small decline in the market, to try product sales of protection.
Current high-carbon ferrochrome production costs have been too high a prominent warning, the decline in domestic prices of the space is extremely limited. At present, European and other international markets high-carbon ferrochrome prices go up, MB Price rising Therefore the major exporting countries ferrochrome prices unlikely exports, imports ferrochrome faces the same cost of this embarrassing situation, Domestic iron and chromium facing the same predicament. Therefore, the cost of the support, the late high-carbon ferrochrome domestic downlink unlikely, the overall should remain stable situation. the plight of manufacturers in the short term is difficult to lift.

[Ni-Fe] China's nickel market price of iron or Matata

In over a weekend, the price of nickel iron again mentions the decline, 10% in Sichuan -15% P content in the 0 .05-0.06. S content from the A 0.1% of the nickel and iron Price can only last up to 2900 yuan / nickel, Shanxi 4% -6% in 2700 -2750 Price yuan / nickel, Shandong region has an original 3,100 yuan / nickel points down to 2750 -2800 yuan / nickel, There is a significant price reduction, and a Sichuan manufacturers to maintain high prices until 4000 yuan / nickel, also recently set the price down to 2,900 yuan / nickel, called for manufacturers, iron nickel price decline is great, So they are forced to lower prices, it is so, with the single remains small, sales are sluggish.
Unconfirmed reports said that the current output of Baosteel and TISCO, the joint resistance of nickel iron expensive, so nickel iron procurement volume also dropped sharply. and 10% -15% Nickel-iron manufacturers to keep prices down to 2,900 yuan / nickel is certainly beyond everyone's expectations, In a month ago, 4% -6% of the ex-factory price of nickel iron can be reached, But manufacturers to lower prices also said the calm, because any one product to maintain profits, after all, not a long time.

[High-carbon ferrochrome] international high-carbon ferrochrome market prices again rising rapidly

Judging by the recent international market show that the European high-carbon ferrochrome spot prices again rising rapidly. rose to 147 cents / lb level.
Current high-carbon ferrochrome reserves tension, further price increases in Europe, apart from South Africa, Kazakhstan, Russia, India and Turkey, and other countries have blocked the purchase. Due to high carbon ferrochrome relatively scarce, affecting the entire market. European high-carbon ferrochrome spot market price of 1.42 U.S. dollars / pounds, is 1.48 U.S. dollars / pounds in the month. Price of the market last Thursday for a .40-1.45 U.S. dollars / pounds, The original price is a .00-1.05 U.S. dollars / pounds. Another noted that the second week of June to 147 cents / lb chromium prices in Europe with a small turnover, However, this transaction price has been used as the third quarter of this year, high-carbon ferrochrome contract negotiations standards. Sources have said that some manufacturers have already South Africa intends to increase prices, They plan to 7 -9 in the shipment increase in the price of 15-20 cents / lb. Indeed, the European stainless steel production capacity has been gradually declining, and LME nickel prices have also emerged last weekend fallen sharply and While this high-carbon ferrochrome will increase in the price of influence, but they are still negotiating with the quarterly data as a reference, therefore, the current high-carbon ferrochrome to 130 -140 cents / lb price range of small transactions.

[Steel] from the steel industry at the current situation of high growth in the export of steel products posture

China Steel Industry Association executive vice president and secretary general of Luo Bingsheng said on the 9th, Before April of this year the domestic crude steel production has already broken through the 150 million tons, an increase of over 20%, in this high growth momentum, At present there are four major iron and steel industry worries : domestic supply-demand balance shaky foundation, the second half will show exports drop Energy-saving enormous pressure to reduce emissions, production costs began to rise.
Luo Bingsheng said that at present China's iron and steel industry of the degree of industrial concentration is not increased to decline, Because local SMEs crude steel production has increased drastically, production above five million tons of the 21 large enterprise groups, Yield April of this year the country has more market share decline last year 1.88%. And the phenomenon behind the strong domestic demand, high export growth of the foundation is not stable.
State Council Development Research Center, a researcher at the Institute of Macroeconomic Zhang replied : At present, domestic steel production overcapacity problem more prominent, and resources constraints on the environment, will lead to the formation of the iron and steel industry mainly rely on the domestic market demand, the model of development.
Survivors said Luo Bingsheng, while the international steel market prices at historically high spaces, However, China's steel exports should control the total production of 10% and crude steel in April of this year the figure for 13.72%.
He predicted that the second half of this year, China's exports of steel products a trend may be, national macro-control measures led to a substantial decline in the export of steel, domestic steel trigger an increase in resources, and the decline of prices, domestic and foreign price differential thus further expands, the strong rebound in exports of steel, state departments may be introduced greater intensity measures to limit exports, which will inevitably lead to sharp fluctuations in the domestic market. damage to the steel industry.
People in the industry believe that the second half of the domestic steel market operation full of variables. State restrictions on the export of steel products, closed down and eliminate backward production capacity of steel production costs are rising instability. It is reported that in April of this year, China's imports of iron ore prices up by 15.61%, and this alone, Let the industry increased cost 1.3 billion U.S. dollars. The latest statistics show that large and medium-sized steel products before April% Cost of sales increased by 32% pig iron production costs increased by 6.8%.

[silicocalcium]Recently China silicocalcium rates will continue to rise in price

Since silicocalcium recent rapid rise in emerging situation, the recent market price of the previous month SILICOCALCIUM rise nearly 1,000 yuan. From a market perspective Ca28Si55 silicocalcium the average market price has more than 8,800 yuan / ton, In fact, Northwest Price already exceeded 9,200 yuan / tons. Ca30Si55 the average market price of 9,300 yuan / ton, but Northwest Price breakthroughs 9,600 yuan / ton. And the Ca30Si60 silicocalcium little spot market, the current price quotations unrealistically high, Fugu regions have witnessed 10,500 yuan / ton in the month.
China Ferroalloy network is not ruled out that although market speculation, by the State Environmental Protection straightening out and the cost of production factors. The two alloy in the near future will be is a sustained period of rising.
Current Shaanxi, Shanxi silicocalcium major price hikes by the State to rectify the environmental impact As silicocalcium the smelting process prone to the bottom of the rise, silicocalcium smelting furnaces TSE general is not long, The domestic use of one-step production silicocalcium stoves are relatively small. Although the ferroalloy industry is no access to CaSi furnace capacity to make specific requests, but the energy-saving reduction of the overall situation, as a small-capacity CaSi furnace to the environmental problems it is very prominent. Although not right CaSi furnace, but the environment must be fulfilled. At present, the State Environmental Protection Administration, Electric Power Supervision Committee, the Development and Reform Commission and other ministries jointly 8 in the Northwest region is high energy enterprises inspection and rectification, This prompted environmental checks smelting CaSi price in May was adjusted Northwest regions not only abolished the preferential rates and the region of the price difference leveled, Many manufacturers are faced with the .056-0.15 0% of the price increase. Many manufacturers in the cost of strong pressure to choose a cut-off or produce. According to the understanding of ORBICOM Inner Mongolia region about 60% of CaSi furnace has to iron nickel production, The spot market decline has silicocalcium in late May there is a shortage of supply. In late May of different brands silicocalcium prices also remain at 8,200 yuan / ton -8400 yuan / ton -8600 yuan / ton price, silicocalcium real price leap in the first week of June in time.
Recently, the market is still scarce supply, the decline has been the spot market has turned to a seller's market. For example the current situation in the spot market in the short term can not reduce tension in the situation. As silicocalcium easily stored in powder, leading to hoard goods on the market are very small. Support and the cost of the stimulation of market demand, silicocalcium spot will inevitably continue to rise.

[silicomanganese]China silicomanganese prices rose to 1,650 U.S. dollars / ton (CIF, Japan), the highest

China's silicon-manganese export prices rising again Price has now risen to 1,600 U.S. dollars / ton to 1,650 U.S. dollars / ton (CIF, Japan) At the end of five than 1,500 U.S. dollars / ton to 1,550 U.S. dollars / ton (CIF) rose 100 U.S. dollars / ton. Fear of manganese ore raw materials supply shortage, China's domestic market silicomanganese prices rose to 09,800 yuan / ton to 10,000 yuan / ton. Given the inadequate supply of the current silicomanganese most of the cash transaction settlement.
09,800 yuan / ton to 10,000 yuan / ton in the domestic market silicomanganese prices equivalent to 1,420 U.S. dollars / ton to 143 0 U.S. dollars / ton and export taxes and 30 dollars / ton freight and other costs, China's exports to the Japanese silicomanganese prices (CIF) Price lower than 200 U.S. dollars / ton. 200 U.S. dollars / ton differences may arise from the recent silicomanganese prices and the forecast increase in China's steel trade companies may silicon Manganese procurement.
However, China is a rumor that the July onwards electricity prices will rise. Many factors led to China silicomanganese production costs. Over the past few years, the Chinese government has increased four times the price of electricity. Since the Chinese government announced in January 2007 with the industry to streamline the basic price of electricity rose 0.15 yuan / kWh. restrictions on the industry will be electricity price increases 0.04 yuan / kWh. After adjustment of the Chinese ferroalloy industry industrial electricity prices to 0.42 yuan / kilowatt-hour to 0.45 yuan / kWh.

[Ferro manganese] ferro manganese market transactions talk

Recently, the ferromanganese market's overall turnover was thin, the market price is declining. Currently HCFeMn South FeMn65C7 the mainstream prices in 8000 -8500 yuan / ton, Northern regions in 8500 -9000 yuan / ton, most of the manufacturers of said transactions were at a standstill. Carbon ferromanganese market is also sluggish, it is not optimistic about the transaction, carbon ferromanganese prices have FeMn75C2 Southern slid to 11800 -12000 yuan / ton, and the northern region in the prices of 11,500 yuan / tons. And the sale, the large-scale manufacturing enterprises have good sales channels, the transaction is slightly more favorable, But small and medium-sized producers were limited sales channels, inventory increased, the occupation of the larger liquidity.
According to many industry insiders said that the current price of ferromanganese market is not a problem, but turnover problems. Now, steel mills, for the June 7-3 purchase price has not been determined, but there are certain steel stock, is not in a hurry to purchase. One of the purchase price has not been ascertained, they dare not venture traders procurement. Thus the whole market with a wait-and-see attitude of the majority, in such market conditions, ferromanganese prices may also decline.

[Steel ]MEPS : North American Stainless Steel Price Forecast

It is expected in June, stainless steel prices will rise again. With nickel and chromium increased costs, alloy surcharge will also be improved accordingly. But basic prices will offset the reduction in the surcharge increase. Summer, stainless steel prices relatively stable, the surcharge will eventually stop rising. May, nickel prices continue to rise, and record highs. But in June, nickel prices dropped slightly. Due to the closure of the port, NORILSK in mid-June before the consignor not. As the region stainless steel output dropped in 2007 to the second half due to nickel prices and weaker demand for accelerated decline. May, the LME nickel inventories rose to the highest level this year. The past three months, nickel inventories showed an upward trend. With the increase in demand, many factories have stainless steel with low nickel or nickel output, the chrome facing upward pressure on prices. Before the end of the nickel market is expected to restore balance between supply and demand. LME nickel prices fell face serious risks. In December 2007, the price of nickel dropped to 35,000 U.S. dollars / ton around the first half of 2008 has stabilized.
July, 304 cold-rolled stainless steel prices expected to increase, but the increase is not. 304 cold-rolled sheet alloy surcharge should be equivalent to the price of the 78%. From a long-term perspective, nickel-based stainless steel with nickel to the price of metal prices and demand fell down. First half of 2008, stainless steel price will be stabilized and then began to add steel stocks.

[steel ]Chinese stainless steel market conditions will continue to maintain the relative price stability

From the China market, future growth in demand for stainless steel will remain very strong, nickel prices are still at a higher level. Likely the second half of the stainless steel prices will be depressed demand and prices relatively stable.
Recently, the stainless steel market downturn. By the poor state of turnover and nickel price shocks, the domestic market since May 2007 prices began to lower, has been sustained downturn, which has been cold adjustment nearly 2, 000 yuan / ton, and the trend continued to go down. International markets, the United States and the European stainless steel market has surplus supply situation, and show varying degrees of weakness.
According to the analysis, and the high price of consumer end-users face shrinking, the situation is caused turnover continued to shrink, the main factors. In addition, the traditional stainless steel consumption rates in the low season is also an important factor for downlink. At present, due to consumer terminal face reduced ability to digest, to the current stainless steel market caused greater pressure and the high price of stainless steel, is adding more traders commercial risks.

[chrome ore]Iran chrome ore has aroused concern in recent days

ORBICOM informed that the India plate outside chrome ore Price over 420 U.S. dollars / ton expensive, Iran chrome ore has aroused concern in recent days, according to its vendor Asian Energy Development Limited sales So, "This past few days has been receiving from the procurement of the inquiry. Many businessmen hope to order from July to August to the chrome ore. "According to our information, As to Iran in the domestic chrome ore transport, be affected, originally exported to China 400,000 tons of ore block the plan, it appears will be dashed. market participants in the estimated maximum export volume will be reduced to 250,000 tons.
According to the Asian energy sales, held that China's current inquiry growing, Iran, Turkey 42% above grade chrome ore block sales of quite good. in the future for quite some time chromium ore supply will be demonstrated in the tense state of supply, and the price will remain high level.

[High-carbon ferrochrome] American high carbon ferrochrome prices remain on the follow trends

American high-carbon ferrochrome prices have been rising trend to continue, a purchaser to 1.21 U.S. dollars / lb (FOB) price for the two wagon spots. saying this is by far the highest price, while some consumers reflect, a small area is a .17-1.21 U.S. dollars / pounds of futures prices Online.
When the stainless steel plant cut austenitic stainless steel products, it is because of the high price of nickel and scrap caused by the production of low nickel stainless steel pipe and three hours, the need for ferrochrome. Insiders said that the Chinese market led to the strong demand of the United States ferrochrome tensions.

[High-carbon ferrochrome] cost of large thin profit ferrochrome production capacity in China is facing a downward trend

Downstream stainless steel due to the recent sluggish market conditions, the ferrochrome corresponding rise in the demand for raw materials reduced, ferrochrome hampered by rising rates, and the equally high level of chromium ore costs of the support, domestic ferrochrome trend is a dilemma, not from top to bottom. May prices in the long since become more stable. From chromium iron, chromium ore price increases the speed and scope of view, the longer period of time, ferrochrome prices rise always hard to resist the rise of chromium ore, but also by the recent imports ferrochrome competition. domestic production enterprises already narrow profit margins is a public fact, while chrome ore due to higher prices, At present, enterprises with production costs than any period in the past, was unprecedented in the Italian thin.
In the first half, domestic ferroalloy market good, the prices of products have different levels of increases especially the recent upward trend manganese alloy rapid, robust market demand, in view of ferrochrome prices of these vulnerable. some small and medium manufacturers ferrochrome play the advantages of flexible operation, after weighing the pros and cons reform manganese alloy production.
Inconel in recent years has maintained a strong upward trend, and in the international context has demonstrated a source of tension, Nickel-iron investment in recent years domestic ferroalloy market bright spots, some enterprises ferrochrome then produce nickel iron.
Produce parts for the factory, or whether there is a big market risk, Transferring means that the establishment of the customer relationship will be our existing products from the market is opening up. But factories in the balance of the sales and profits of the relationship, a resolute decision to change production, It is evident that domestic ferrochrome profit level is low, some manufacturers also reflects, called the current market prices are lower than their cost of production, the factory is losing money running out helpless, and so in recent days, domestic manufacturers require ferrochrome prices are increasing, and the same under the leadership of profits, domestic ferrochrome production is facing a downward trend.

[Silicon] industrial silicon remain active, rising momentum has not diminished

Last week, prices of industrial silicone early rising trend, climbing higher and higher. Industrial silicon silicon week average market price : 553 # 8900 yuan / ton (Port tax-inclusive price) 441 # 9400 yuan / ton (Port tax-inclusive price), 3303 # 9800 yuan / ton (Port tax-inclusive price) 2202 # 10600 yuan / ton (Port tax-inclusive price) than the end of May rose 100 yuan / tons.
For the rise in industrial silicone causes the differences of opinion between, on the whole the major As to the following aspects :
1, This year the late arrival of the wet period, and affected the majority of industries in the southwestern region of silicon manufacturers operating rate. On the market in the middle of Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan area of industrial silicone less cash, As the main parts of the relatively low prices of the silicon industry # 553, # 553 industrial markets silicon spot reduction, # 441 made above the level of industrial silicone procurement emerged exuberant phenomenon. Moreover, # 441 major industrial silicon for the chemical industry, # 441 in the procurement difficulties when users had to use the higher prices of 3303 or 3305 as the industrial hygiene silicon producing raw materials. Such a market as a whole was pulled up.
2, smelting costs, charcoal, coal, electricity prices, oxygen and other raw material prices soaring, making industrial silicon costs surge.
3, by the impact of foreign demand, exports active. China mainly exports industrial silicon Japan, the Japan recently announced a renewable Aluminum Silicon inventory and industrial consumption, Japan's domestic stock reduction led directly to the rise in prices of Japan, Japanese silicon metal prices from the previous week's 1130 -1140 U.S. dollars / ton (CIF) rose to 1180-12 20 U.S. dollars / ton. At the same time last week, India will also raise the price of industrial silicone 20 U.S. dollars / t% # 441 industrial silicon reach CIF1290 U.S. dollars / ton, # 553 industrial silicon reach CIF1270 U.S. dollars / ton. And the June national tariff adjustment policies down after no industrial silicon, by international market pull domestic export prices of industrial silicone Wei Zhang clients can be accepted.
This month, along with the southwest region is gradually increasing rainfall, Sichuan, Yunnan some manufacturers have resumed normal production. Hunan, Fujian, the current spot small high-grade silicon metal prices higher, the higher price Northeast, Meanwhile the main northeast industrial production of high-grade silicon, the overall market price has been high. Since the beginning of this week silicon industrial operating rate to the market than before, manufacturers have seen rates to expand production, in the short term industrial silicon market is still tight cash situation, industrial silicone overall market will continue to be strong.

[Molybdenum] China molybdenum market prices remain stable

This week, the flotation has been stable, Luanchuan maintain 4400 -4450 yuan / ton of Price, Other areas in the month remained at 4350 -4400 yuan / ton, prices were little changed.
Transactions, merchants reflect, it is now a very small number of people goods and transactions are very scarce. And the price, many businesses have expressed reluctance to export, so the market is relatively deserted. Iron and molybdenum reflect manufacturers now 4,350 yuan / tons of molybdenum are reluctant to purchase, thinks that the price is too high. After all, molybdenum Rail rates also remained at a state of decline.
Ferro molybdenum, the current mainstream Price 28 -29.5 million, and with molybdenum to be the case, the goods with fewer people. transactions are relatively small. But manufacturers reflect, and next week the market may be steel procurement, ferro molybdenum market expectations have improved, at least prices will decline further, then the price of molybdenum will not be significantly lowered.
On the current situation, low price of molybdenum businesses not selling products, and supply and demand Sheng sufficient. Therefore, the industry is expected to have the outlook of molybdenum continue to be mainly steady, with some minor fluctuations.

[Ferro vanadium] recent comments ferro vanadium market

Recent vanadium products markets as a whole to maintain a relatively stable situation, the domestic market has changed little. However, the international market last Friday have begun to see a slight upward. Most of the market participants have indicated that at present the international market for the domestic market will not be very big lead. It is understood that the domestic market currently 80 # ferrovanadium export prices at 36 -37 dollars / kg of vanadium% 5 V and 98% of vanadium unit price of about seven dollars .4-7.5 / lbs of vanadium. Judging from the current situation, temporarily relatively stable prices, but the market is still running slow trend, market transactions are simpler. Trade, the market in the short term will remain in this state.
Due to the recent market molybdenum products to the market too much control policy factors, vanadium pentoxide, From years has been a rumor that the state may abolish the right V2O5 5% export tax rebate, The rumor has remained for many market participants are worried that Some traders said the abolition of the export tax rebate vanadium pentoxide, vanadium on the domestic market is very large, Vanadium overall prices will further decline.

[Silicon-manganese alloy] American market silicomanganese shortage of resources

U.S. market silicomanganese insufficient supply situation prompted some buyers up with the high-carbon ferromanganese and ferrosilicon of synthetics as a replacement of silicomanganese began.
Russia at the 1911 state company ERAMET MARIETTA March 8 was forced to suspend work due to fire, silicomanganese consignor and declared force majeure at the state, so far still in the recovery period. but even after the resumption of production still needs some time to the customer invoice, which has led to the American market silicomanganese tight supply, prices are rising fast. 2% carbon content of supply because of the rise in the price of 72-74 dollars / pounds, current prices stabilized at 65 -68 cents / lb, in which prior to 46-49 cents / lb.
We are paying close attention to the production company ERAMET MARIETTA resumption of progress, Industry sources say that to solve the problem of insufficient supply, some buyers still using high-carbon ferromanganese and ferrosilicon of synthetics, Although high-carbon ferromanganese strong demand, price increases, but at least the ability to buy either.

[Electrolytic manganese] electrolytic manganese analysis of the reasons for the continuing rise

Electrolytic manganese recent sustained rise in consolidated sides of the market situation, its rise is mainly due to the following :
1, the nickel price has risen sharply, as well as the raw materials Electrolytic Manganese rhodochrosite shortage Recently China has exacerbated the supply of Electrolytic Manganese tension. As a substitute for nickel, electrolytic manganese consumption in China has increased drastically, Price continued growth in exports. 2, Electrolytic Manganese sales structure has undergone great changes. Electrolytic Manganese before our sales are primarily for the export market, but the export market and domestic market sales gradually approaching.
3, another important factor : Electrolytic Manganese as the raw materials, rhodochrosite domestic supply shortage This will speed up the supply of Electrolytic Manganese tension.
4, stainless crude steel production in China of rapid growth that has greatly spurred the domestic market for electrolytic manganese demand, according to statistics, China's 2005 crude stainless steel production to 3.3 million tons in 2006 to 5.3 million tons, 2007 is expected to reach 6.8 million tons, or even higher.
5, market manipulation and price speculation is one of the reasons for the surge.
6, the macro-control on the industry and the export tax rebate policy adjustment led directly to the factory some measure of administrative control, suddenly in demand at home and abroad under the circumstances, the shutdown of the supply shortfall is the spot price of Electrolytic Manganese direct cause.
Electrolytic manganese in the production of stainless steel metal nickel substitutes, the rising price of nickel circumstances, Electrolytic Manganese domestic right of the heavy demand; Meanwhile, manganese ore supply shortage problem remains unresolved, Other raw material prices have also continued to rise, the Electrolytic Manganese production costs are also rising. These factors have caused the prices of Electrolytic manganese continuing rise. However, a majority of people in the industry believe that the current market price for the number of Electrolytic Manganese exists an element of speculation, The high price of the market is serious hoard goods, encouraged some traders to speculation, but also makes suddenly shrinking market demand, consumers face high prices hesitant, wait-and-see mood a strong market. If there is a large number of brokers to hoard cash, and market prices could at any time face a substantial decrease in risk.

[Steel] July stainless steel surcharge will be increased

Although so far four top European membrane plant only two announced in July prices, But buyers will again be faced with the trend of price increases very significantly in July despite price increases in May compared to the much lower.
Three major steel mills in North America have announced a surcharge in July, the same as in Europe, an increase over June will be much lower. For example, 430 ferrite surcharge in the first year of a downturn.
Buyers were right, the bad news is that the European 316-surcharge has been rising over 5,500 euros / t, the United States nearly 3.5 U.S. dollars / pounds (5,700 U.S. dollars / ton).
London Metal Exchange nickel prices in March period, the surcharge billing its short period in June surcharge billing period.
However, nickel prices are still 49 ,000-50, 000 U.S. dollars / ton oscillation near historical high, and sometimes reached 51. 000 U.S. dollars / ton price.
SBB understand that FeCr prices remained high, but in recent weeks the price of molybdenum rapid rise led to a 316 stainless steel surcharge raised.

[Steel] the United States and the European steel market is a general decline in prices

According to the latest index of steel reference prices, the United States and European steel prices are generally dropped. Southern Steel Price are all in decline, but hot rolls in the Nordic rise in the reference price of 6 euros / ton. In the United States, hot-rolled and cold-rolled Volume Volume prices also fell. In Southern Europe, the hot rolls manufactured reference price fell seven euros / t, to 485 euros / ton (652 U.S. dollars / ton); Nordic Cold volumes of the reference price is 587 euros / ton (789 U.S. dollars / ton).
Midwest cold-rolled steel rolls FOB reference price dropped to 633 U.S. dollars / RES (696 U.S. dollars / ton); Plate the reference price has fallen by one U.S. dollars / RES, 796 U.S. dollars / RES (876 U.S. dollars / ton).
Since last week, European steel prices fell again, but the reference to the United States last week to decide to no change. In Southern Europe, the reference price is now manufactured to 514 euros / ton (691 U.S. dollars / ton). Five weeks, the United States reinforced the average slightly shorten the delivery period, but the Northern and Southern Europe the declining trend is particularly significant.
Steel index recent market survey indicated that the future direction of prices is not optimistic, but the prospects for demand, will be changed. Statistics in the company, only 24% anticipated in the next three months, the prices will increase, and 35% think it would be dropped. About 18% think that demand will increase, while 25% think that will reduce the inventory, 26% of the companies considered stocks will rise, while 31% believe will be reduced.

[Iron ore] Chinese iron ore market trends 2

Currently iron ore market two major trends : First, the ore import growth fell to 4 years minimum, two homemade mine is substantial growth to curb rising ore prices play a role.
June 9-10 at the China Iron and Steel Industry Development Strategy meeting, China Metallurgical Mining Enterprise Association chairman Zou Jian, In connection with the recent price hikes of iron ore to steel enterprises raising the cost of this hot air their views, saying that the current iron ore market two major trends : First, the ore import growth fell to 4 years minimum, two homemade mine is substantial growth Ore to curb rising prices played a role.
In recent years, as domestic steel production capacity to fully release, iron ore products demand is brisk, the world's major import ore prices with China began the siege, five years experienced a 9%, 18.62%, 71.5%, 19% and 9.5% of the storm and stress-prices to domestic steel production costs brought about tremendous pressure. And the situation will be in 2007 may begin to be more visible improvements. Zou Jian said that the domestic price of the siege was forced to increase the scope of the use of iron ore mining. Although China's iron ore resources of the "lean ore and rich" As we all know, but now in desperation, lean ore has been fully utilized, the iron ore mining significant drop-off grade, north China, northeast China and other places is only 10%; abandoned tailings has been fully utilized; underground mining from the existing 300 meters to 500 meters deeper advance, 2006, the Chinese mine production reached 580 million tons, an increase of nearly 4%. 2007 will break 710 million tons, expand 20%.
Based on this, although in 2007 the demand for iron ore to seven incremental, 000 million tons, However, incremental domestic ore to meet the four, five million tons. Outer ore prices rising all the circumstances, the overall domestic ore cheaper price advantage into full play. Zou Jian said that China's iron ore has become inhibited the world iron ore prices rise too fast a major force. Rosaline Pi
Tian was optimistic estimates, the current long-term contract price of ore imports have nearly the same grade market trading price, reflect the international iron ore suppliers began leveling. Iron domestic price stability, which will increase China's imports in 2008 ore negotiations chips, the iron and steel enterprises will continue to increase the use of domestic ore volume.

[Iron ore] In recent years, China's imports of iron ore market trend analysis

By the rapid development of the iron and steel industry, from 2003, China's iron ore imports surged, iron ore prices to rise, and continuously set the historical record, the domestic steel enterprises profit has been compressed while foreign suppliers of iron ore profit is huge. China's iron and steel industry significantly accelerate growth starting in 2001. China's 2000 crude steel output in the growth rate 4.18%, in 2001 crude steel output growth at 18% Since then domestic crude steel production to an annual average of 22.59% in the growth rate of growth (Figure 1) With the domestic steel industry's rapid development, the iron ore increasing dependence on the outside world, Iron ore imports in 2003 from the beginning of volume and price Chai Sing. From Figure 2 and Figure 3 shows ,2001-2003 first half domestic price of iron ore is basically stable operation of the state, prices have been hovering between 24 -28 dollars / tons. from the second half of 2003, the iron ore market prices to break long-term stable situation, which has been soaring, in 2004, swept to the highest point, the average price of 73 dollars / ton, Subsequently, the 2005 -2006 The price of iron ore has been on the high end. in 2005 the average price of iron ore imports 66.74 U.S. dollars / ton, the average price of imports, is the highest in the year, in 2004 and 2006 respectively in the average price of imports 61.09 U.S. dollars / ton and 64.12 U.S. dollars / ton. Enter 2007, iron ore prices scale new heights, The first four months of imports of iron ore in the average price 71.82 U.S. dollars / ton, the highest average price in April. to 75 dollars / ton.
At present, China's iron and steel industry is on the upswing period, will maintain a rapid growth rate, So the demand for iron ore will continue to increase, the growth of domestic ore still can not make up for the shortfall in the current iron ore, Steel industry raw materials bottlenecks have become increasingly prominent, but also rely heavily on imported iron ore. For this reason, to promote the international iron ore prices keep rising. In recent years, with China and India and other countries substantially increase production of iron ore, shake to a large extent and Australia will certainly develop, Extension of Brazil and River Valley's three major iron ore giant monopoly, This is conducive to stabilize the international iron ore and sea freight prices, increased imports of iron ore country's bargaining chips. In February 2007, the Indian government announced on iron ore exports to levy high tariffs to restrict the export of iron ore, China and India due to the iron ore trade mainly in cash, the prices were the most affected. Although traders were "unile" boycott attitude, but has failed to stop the Indian government to levy tariffs introduced determination. India's Ministry of Finance on May 3 announced that the ore grade 62 to 300 rupees levy rate (about 7 U.S. dollars / ton). 62 below grade collected 50 rupees (1.17 U.S. dollars / ton) rate. Indian government imposed export tariffs on the move again to the international iron ore spot market into a tonic, From the beginning of iron ore in March began a new round of Biao or, in April a record-high average price of imports. reach 75 U.S. dollars / ton. This fully reflects the global countries are strengthening control of resources, especially non-renewable resources. In order to change the import of iron ore in a passive situation, domestic traders and steel enterprises are actively seeking solutions, While vigorously developing the domestic iron ore resources, and on the other hand increase in the share of the contract goods, with the iron ore suppliers to forge closer relations of cooperation, but also actively expanding multi-channel imports. from other countries to increase the volume of imports, to reduce the risk of imports.
4-5 in 2007 the Chinese government has taken a series of measures to control the export of steel, In particular, export taxes and export permits the implementation of the system, its role has started to become apparent, effect will be to fully reflect the second half, it will be to some extent inhibited steel exports, the impact of steel production enterprises, reduce the demand for iron ore, which led to China's imports of iron ore prices decline. However, in the international mineral resources to reduce the overall environment, the price of iron ore to decline significantly; and the world's rapid economic development in recent years, will also promote the steel industry to maintain a certain growth, 's demand for iron ore will remain strong, it is expected that in recent years the international iron ore prices will continue to operate at a high level.

[Mo-Fe] ferro molybdenum market remains weak

Molybdenum products this week the overall market in terms of the overall international market and domestic market are at a relatively weak trend, Not only the market price at the slight decline, the market turnover is also very light and Most of the people in the industry are very worried about the development of the outlook.
This Week domestic ferro molybdenum market due to the overall product molybdenum market this big environmental impact, also in a small decline in the trend, however, because the market is indeed less actual transactions, Northeast manufacturers for the domestic market is still concerned about the high levels, and the market price of molybdenum is no significant decline in the combined effects of domestic ferro molybdenum market price decline is not great extent. to Friday, the Northeast manufacturers mainstream Price fluctuations in 29 .5-30 million / tons, and Henan, Beijing, Jiangsu, and other places in the mainstream Price 29 .4-29.8 million / tons, from the market price, relative last week that there has indeed been a remarkable decline, However, based on molybdenum prices decline to 4300 -4350 yuan / ton on the basis of degree, This decline is not large. Various manufacturers, the outlook for the current development does not grasp, As the international market becomes increasingly support the current weak export markets makes the situation is not good. In addition to the export quota is not currently have a clear answer, so each manufacturers and did not dare to take action, holdings outlook for the wait-and-see attitudes still exist; all brokers, Due to the market's overall weakness in the circumstances, the recent molybdenum sales of iron are not ideal, Most transactions are reflected very tepid, no one is interested, they outlook for the development also very worried about; Steel, There is no strong desire procurement, Friday in the central part of a steel mill for a small amount of the procurement, Does this represent a new steel mill in the upcoming procurement, it is understood that Next week, there will still be sporadic individual steel mills for the procurement, with limited capacity, is expected purchase price will not be too high. I believe that the overall market would not achieve much of the driving force. MOLYBDENUM, this market is still in the light circumstances, the less procurement, the transaction is the most tepid ore business, Although there are still some who said that mine is still reluctant to lower prices for sales, But most of the ironworks, said on the current transaction price is difficult, let alone mine operators still reluctant to sell at low prices. This will go on the results of the market prices slipped further, to Friday, Price mainstream market flotation in 4300 -4350 yuan / ton degrees, less turnover. On the current market situation, policy, the export quota policy has yet to be announced, all manufacturers and traders in both taboo and market has been very quiet, there will still be a short-term decline may be; Steel, procurement craze has not yet come. Sporadic procurement not stimulate the domestic market; molybdenum market transactions few slight price decline; prices in the international markets are still in decline, temporarily unable to give the domestic market support, and all aspects of the situation, the domestic market in the short term in order to change the status quo, the probability is low.
International market, the overall market is still facing some volatility on the European market. At present, the demand is still some slack performance, ferro molybdenum price hikes less likely, But not shallow Molybdenum market prices did not like ferro molybdenum market prices, but the performance of some stationary, and Most of the traders are doing their utmost in that market, hoping to capture the lead to better opportunities. From this week the British "metal Herald" (MB), the price of molybdenum prices, Molybdenum iron fluctuations in the European market in 77 -78 dollars / kg molybdenum between Rotterdam will continue to maintain the local 75 -76 dollars / kg molybdenum, free market in the United States has remained stable at 36 -38 dollars / pounds of molybdenum, China's export ferro molybdenum prices remain 76 -77 dollars / kg molybdenum, molybdenum oxide, fluctuations in the European market in 33 .5-34 U.S. dollars / pounds of molybdenum, in the United States market rose to 33-35 U.S. dollars / pounds of molybdenum.
Molybdenum on the overall market situation, the international market temporarily unable to give domestic support and market driven, and the domestic market due to more intrinsic factors, the market is weak, and some confusion, If some policy uncertainties, the market's direction will more easily grasp!

[CaSi] market supply reduction, the recent price surge CaSi

Recent silicocalcium prices more sharply, according to industry analysis, silicon alloy recent rise in prices is mainly due to the recent silicocalcium domestic supply reduction. Currently silicocalcium smelting conditions by the impact of the relatively small stoves. For many manufacturers smelting furnace capacity is less than ferroalloy industry-access requirements. In addition, many manufacturers had failed to follow the requirements for environmental protection set for the installation, due to environmental problems some manufacturers have been closed down, some manufacturers temporarily stop production industry access, Meanwhile, along with the price increase and many manufacturers must face differentiated pricing pressure on the high cost. Since this makes the overall market ferrosilicon spot shortages. Silicocalcium lead to price increases. It is learned Inner Mongolia region CaSi production was almost a vacuum, ORBICOM understanding of Baotou city, Wulanchabu City many factories had stopped production silicocalcium turn higher profits smelting of nickel iron. Ningxia region by raising the cost of the electricity price, CaSi cost of production is very high, Ningxia most of the manufacturers are still in the implementation of basic orders, external Price is very limited, generally do not accept small cash transactions. Shaanxi, Shanxi region has always been my SILICOCALCIUM province, especially in Shaanxi Fugu region. Due to the in-depth training of environmental protection, many manufacturers Fugu region will be the implementation of the high level of differentiated pricing, Meanwhile access to the in-depth industry, many manufacturers in the region will face the shutdown of the situation. At present, some manufacturers have taken limited production or cut off measures that would focus on preparing the industry-access issues. Current Shaanxi Fugu region Ca30Si55 factory in the tax-inclusive price of 9,200 yuan / tons, some manufacturers offer external sales reached 9,800 yuan / ton; Ningxia region Ca30Si55 factory in the tax-inclusive price of 9,500 yuan / tons, Ca28Si55 factory in the tax-inclusive price of 9,300 yuan / tons; Inner Mongolia Ca30Si55 factory in the tax-inclusive price of 9,600 yuan / tons, Ca28Si55 factory in the tax-inclusive price of 9,300 yuan / tons; CaSi market overall price increase early May than 1,000 yuan / tons.

[ferro molybdenum] ferro molybdenum market remains stable

June 1 increased tariffs in the paper has been published in a few days time, in accordance with past practice, Once the policy adjustment will be more or less makes the overall market volatility to a certain extent, But this is not in accordance with past practice changes in the overall market so far remained stable, and some brokers said the market is still well bid. Today # 60 domestic molybdenum MTR mainstream Price remains at 31 -31.5 million / t% MOLYBDENITE mainstream Price at 4500 -4600 yuan / ton, very individual taste and Contamination better still can reach 4,650 yuan / tons of the high-value, from the market price, the overall market and few days ago and is not much change, Most of the market in the industry feel that the present domestic market has stabilized, even some people in the industry have begun to worry about the market price of molybdenum iron will from now gradually slow decline? On the current market situation, a production enterprises in the Northeast sales staff said that they still have no time attention to the domestic market, Since molybdenum iron export tariffs have not increased for them is a good news, At present the focus of all of them are kept in the export market and the international market orders As for the domestic market. They are expected to wait until the end of export orders basically only after continued attention, But for the current market price of raw materials remained at the top of the manufacturers are in no hurry to return to the domestic market. Judging from the current market situation, domestic molybdenum market prices temporarily remain at the top, However, as end-users can never accept the current high prices. brokers also because the cash is still tight and risk larger market turnover is not active, And because of the further tariff clearer makes some of the market participants already at the end of May period did not dare to take action, Therefore, the market has a strong wait-and-see attitude, the current market, appears to maintain stability, However, due to late, there are still some factors, so all the recent industry should pay more attention to the market.

[Nickel] Nickel prices drop slightly

Recently, the price of nickel ore slight decline, 1.4% -1.6% of the supply of nickel ore in the Philippines has increased, and the prices have come down last week, 1.4% -1.6% Nickel Price 1430-1450 yuan / wet tons, Doug also commissioned to reach 1,450 yuan / ton wet, but this week, 1.4% -1.6% of the nickel ore Price was 1,400 yuan / wet tons, and 1.8% nickel ore currently only 1,800 yuan Price / wet tons, and is no longer as before, Price 1,900 yuan / wet tons, or even higher Price reached 1,950 yuan / wet tons, Currently 1.2% of nickel ore, a businessmen Price only 800 yuan / wet tons, the businessmen said the prices really low point, But their purpose is to sell as soon as possible.
Businesses reflect, nickel goods to the people or more, but the prices are indeed lower, it is now even as early as 1:00 to put away goods sales, the price of relatively low. According to the analysis, the price reduction is due to nickel ore increased supply reasons, in spite of the rainy and typhoon, However, as traders continued to increase, it makes increasing the supply. Iron and nickel prices in a reasonable reduction of nickel iron manufacturers change the profits of some small, Therefore, the nickel ore raw materials prices are also affected to a certain extent. But above the current market, the nickel ore imbalances between supply and demand, prices have fallen sharply the possibility still zero.

[Chromium metal] chromium metal prices stable outlook hamstrung increase

Since late May, Cr domestic market as a whole maintained a steady move up the momentum, Price on the market from 71000 -73000 yuan / ton increase to 73000-75000 yuan / ton, inflation in 2000 dollars, generally located in the 71500 -73000 yuan / ton. At present, some domestic dealers Price relatively high prices in the 75,000 yuan / ton, However, according to market feedback information, Cr transaction still not active trading conditions have remained stagnant. Industry sources, the current market trend is slightly in excess supply, the price fluctuations relatively small, little turnover.
Jinzhou Chromium is the major domestic production, many of the dealers are from Jinzhou goods, it was revealed some businesses, in the shipment, the number of small manufacturers in relative prices also lower, Therefore procurement volume is not large businesses in this slightly on some advantages.
In the export market, the chromium metal market was also relatively light, the transaction is not large, the manufacturers said the inquiry received limited. International market, Britain last Friday "metal Herald," Cr prices remained at 7700 -7900 U.S. dollars / ton, Indian metal market continues to be 7,850 U.S. dollars / Mt level.
Industry insiders believe that the current domestic market Cr high carbon ferrochrome in, chrome ore and other raw material of high status, the manufacturers of lower production costs, and the domestic market for chromium metal demand is fairly limited, the international market is also very difficult to do something, Chromium price it at the later stages of the operation, it is very difficult to further improvements.

[ Silicon-manganese alloy] (month comments) in May domestic silicomanganese market synthesis evaluation

On silicon-manganese alloy market has continued to rise substantially momentum until late this month at prices only gradually stabilized.
At the end of May 1, FeMn65Si17 silicon-manganese alloy prices on the market by the end of the four 7,000 yuan / ton rose to around 80 direct 00 yuan / ton about the price rose almost 1,000 yuan / ton. Meanwhile silicomanganese FeMn60Si14 price steadily upward, but rates relative confusion Price from the pre-5200 -5400 yuan / ton, rises to Labor Day 5800 -6800 yuan / ton prices ranging from the chaos. Subsequent silicon-manganese alloy rapid upward trend of mid-May, Price silicomanganese FeMn65Si17 market has reached 9,000 yuan / ton, Price FeMn60Si14 market also rose to 7,000 yuan / ton universal Price. In mid to late May, the breakthrough silicomanganese FeMn65Si17 million mark. Pakistan is directed straight at 04 hours of the stock market price, when manufacturers began silicomanganese flustered, worried that prices will not like 04 did a sudden sharp fall. The market, on the "around the end of May might be introduced export tariff policy, silicomanganese will export tariffs by 10% to 15% adjustment "hearsay, but also of concern to the industry. export tariffs for the late news and the domestic prices of silicomanganese the impact. In May 22, the state issued the June 1 implementation of the new 142 products of export tax forms silicomanganese and export tariff adjustments have not been ruled out, is still 10% of export tariffs. Although silicon-manganese alloy export tariffs have not been adjusted, but also for export tariffs on steel growth and the impact of the rates have come down in late May to maintain market mainstream Price in 9500 -9800 yuan / ton, to the end, despite the basic transaction price stability in 8500 -9300 yuan / ton, Therefore, the current silicon-manganese alloy prices rose 04 with the rise in rates is not exactly the same.
From the Si-Mn steel mills for the purchase price situation, in mid-May, most of the steel mills due to tight supply of silicon, manganese, Meanwhile manganese increase in the price of raw materials, the purchase price will be on silicomanganese transferred 9,500 yuan / tons. As silicomanganese strong upward trend, many manufacturers expectations silicomanganese prices hoped for 10,000 yuan / ton, Subsequently market was also reported steel purchase prices topped 10,000 yuan / ton of news. In late May, as exports of steel tariffs, Iron & steel's price slipped somewhat and steel mills profit compression, Steel began to suppress for the purchase prices of raw materials, Therefore, more steel stocks silicomanganese most of the purchase prices of 9,000 yuan / ton below and the stock of low steel prices relatively high purchasing some. Steel market trends will have a direct impact on silicomanganese rates change.
In this silicon-manganese alloy prices skyrocketed played a major role in import manganese ore, May also in the whole show is basically the continuing rise in the situation taste the high manganese imports from the early 46 -47 yuan / ton of prices, always rises to the end of the 62 -63 yuan / ton, the highest Price has even reached 66 yuan / ton of prices. Manganese cash shortage, the price of manganese ore is the main reason for the rising, It is also strong with silicon-manganese alloy to the strong support for. Currently on the market, there is news that some manufacturers who wish to produce ferrosilicon silicomanganese alloys, manganese ore Once a cash supply, They will produce silicomanganese. So in the next two months, imports of manganese ore supply of cash, this will affect the late walk silicomanganese City.
On the author's own view, how silicon-manganese alloy outlook, in addition to the above-said to Steel City, imports of manganese ore supply, States also need to pay attention to the current differential pricing for the implementation of environmental protection and rectification efforts from the impact, and the series of national policies and changes in the market, will continue to ORBICOM concern.

[ Ferro-nickel iron ] in May, 2007 nickel market quotation review

May period LME nickel strong performance again. "May 1" Labor Day, LME nickel period of record-high, breaking 50,000 U.S. dollars, reached a record high of 51,250 U.S. dollars. Although the site is profitable liquidation pressure, but low water stocks soaring for enabling nickel around 50,000 U.S. dollars frontline several ups and downs But on the whole are still running on uplink channel.
Concern is May 20, the long-term downward trend mainly to the low stock levels start rising. Within a week and has quickly ascending to the top of 7,000 tons, more than 50,000 U.S. dollars drops weight, nickel prices in a substantial adjustment, Future trends of uncertainty in its 46000 -50000 dollars broadbanding concussion.
Shanghai nickel market prices in May was down trend since the beginning of the 452,000 yuan to 415,000 yuan by the end. On a fall of 9%, the market mentality depressed by high prices and risk inhibit consumer downturn, but vendors generally higher costs of goods, difficult to support in an attempt to ease the downward speed. Weak market transactions. When the wholesaler inventory increased downlink highlight trends, with air cargo to see a psychological strong and wishes to export cutter, cut losses, Price once dropped to 412,000 yuan sentiment and attract those relating to the participation of Shanghai porous nickel differences gradually, the market can expect tough, two supply and demand situation is not strong.

[Electrolytic Manganese] Electrolytic Manganese prices scale new heights

Electrolytic Manganese the recent trend of stable prices 99.7% Electrolytic Manganese prices remain at 33,000 yuan / t% Guangxi region today a 35,200 yuan / ton transaction price. Other areas in the month stood at 33000 -35000 yuan / ton. FOB prices to continue to climb, Price reached 5,000 U.S. dollars / ton, a record, and the previous April. The price of the 3,000 U.S. dollars / ton more, in the week before the price in 4500 U.S. dollars / ton around. Chinese Electrolytic Manganese cent of the world's production output 97%, it has a monopoly position, and the price reached a record high. Despite the higher prices, but not much cash transactions, the market is a chaos, Price also one day than the day. Prices to rise, traders were also facing the problem of non-delivery. Because of rising prices, there will always be risk shipments.
Today Electrolytic Manganese prices at home and abroad have continued to rise, it seems that this situation will continue for some time.

[ Rare earth ] China enhances product exportation customs duty rate and so on the rare earth

Gets up from this June 1, the State Council customs duty tariff regulation committee decided the tungsten, the molybdenum and the rare-earth metal and so on the domestic scarce metal undressed ore product implements 15% exportation to establish provisionally the customs duty. The State Council customs duty tariff regulation committee expert consults Committee Member Wu Rongqing to say that, from completely cancels the rare earth, the tungsten, the molybdenum and so on the rare metal exportation tax reimbursement to unceasingly levies additional taxes the exportation customs duty, these changes indicated the Chinese government regulation rare metal exportation the policy step is speeding up.

[ Nickel ore ] 1-4 month of China hammers rolls over the nickel, the nickel ore imports the large scale growth

It is reported, 1-4 month, our country has not hammered rolls over the nickel import to measure 39,200 tons, grew 21.9% compared to same time last year; The import nickel ore material object measures 3.8494 million tons, grew 10.4 times compared to same time last year; The exportation has not hammered rolls over the nickel 07,900 tons, grew 19.1% compared to same time last year.
domestic non-ferrous metal development facility Beijing peaceful and undisturbed branch company analyst Xu Aidong believed, because the nickel price continuously is located the historical top digit movement, enables the downstream industry to have the obvious change. At present the stainless steel mill massively uses the ferro-nickel iron to carry on the production, causes the multitudinous ferroalloy enterprise to produce a different product produces the ferro-nickel iron, thus has enlarged the nickel ore import, also the increased range is astonishing. Because the stainless steel mill now uses the ferro-nickel iron production the cost for directly to use has not hammered rolls over the nickel production about 80%, the stainless steel mill continuously is enlarging the ferro-nickel iron the purchase proportion.
Xu Aidong analyzes, because the nickel price is higher, at present the overseas stainless steel mill is reducing production, but the domestic business immovable property can increase increases production, therefore this year ferro-nickel iron output increases the scope to be able to achieve the high spot, last year contained the nickel alloy metal productivity approximately 30,000 tons, but this year possibly amounts to 100,000 tons. Domestic later period also will increase to the nickel ore demand, but to has not hammered rolls over the nickel the import not to be able because the price reason will not be able to have the obvious increase

[manganese ore]This year the 3rd quarter Europe manganese ore and the manganese will be the alloy contract price largely rises

Manganese production enterprises, due to a shortage of manganese, three quarters of the European manganese and manganese alloy contract price increases of at least 25%. Among them, manganese ore contract prices may reach 3.6 U.S. dollars / ton degrees (FOB). higher than the quarter 2 2 .8-3.1 U.S. dollars / ton degrees. According to reports, Manganese supply and demand negotiations will be launched in June. Manganese current spot price has risen to more than 3 .3-3.6 U.S. dollars / ton degrees (FOB ) for the 2005 third quarter and the highest level since. European quarter of this year, three with silicon-manganese alloy prices can soar 900 -100 0 euros / t, over two quarters of 680 -720 euros / ton rose by 25-32%. As ore price increases and the right of anti-import silicomanganese dumping investigations, the European market has risen to silicomanganese cash 800 -850 euros / t, higher than May 18 of the 700 -730 euros / t .2006 September, the EU has started right originating in China, Kazakhstan and Ukraine silicomanganese anti-dumping investigations for a period of 15 months. temporary anti-dumping measures may be nine months implemented. and three quarter HCFeMn contract price may soar to 800 -8 50 euros / tonnes, higher than May 18 of the 670-750 euros / ton.

[silicon manganese]Estimated the Chinese silicon manganese later period the market development is steady

Currently silicomanganese FeMn65Si17 steel mills in the southwestern region of the purchase price for the 9200 -9300 yuan / ton, High slightly north of 9500 -9800 yuan / ton. Rates and the end of May compared to decline somewhat. However, the overall trend is still rising in silicomanganese.
Many manufacturers silicomanganese production silicomanganese said that the prices have come down, This is mainly because the port have been a lot manganese imports arrived, the supply is no longer so tight. Steel also has put pressure on the price of raw materials are the reasons inside. Of course the principal or because manganese procurement is no longer difficult to supply sufficient reason.
According to expert analysis, the current silicomanganese prices for a period of time should not be such a big change.

[silicon manganese ]The Chinese silicon manganese price cannot fast fall

Recently, silicon-manganese alloy Price is no longer continue to rise, showing a downturn trend. As part of the inter-regional electricity and raw materials, leading to the implementation of the relative differences Price, Price feedback from all over, loaded a slight rebound. China's market mainstream silicomanganese 6517 Price yuan in 9500 -9800 / t% Some areas are still relatively high tariffs 10,000 yuan / ton about Price, but the turnover is relatively low, market is 9,000 yuan / tons Price emerged. Some traders said that Recent silicomanganese prices callback because the end steel tariff increases due regard have introduced new procurement prices, 6517 prices reported in the 9600 yuan / tons, which can be seen early silicomanganese prices unrealistically high number, and the steel mills are also interested in suppressing the price of raw materials, the businessmen are adjusting prices accordingly silicomanganese Price, China has in recent days Price Slight decline of.
Industry trend is expected late silicomanganese with manganese ore imports are closely related to the movement. According to the port manganese traders said, although some recent manganese to the port, ease some of the sources of tension, However, high-grade manganese ore prices will remain high for some time, the cost of raw materials in support of, silicon-manganese alloy prices will fall rapidly.

[Manganese]China and the international market, manganese late Development Analysis

Recent imports of manganese ore seeing a steady trend, Currently 45% of Brazil's imports grade manganese ore prices at 52 yuan / ton, the same grade of Australian ore prices at 58 yuan / ton degrees. 48% of Gabon grade ore remained unchanged at 59 yuan / ton degrees. Although imports of manganese ore remains Huojin, but recently some of the manganese, a slight easing of the current demand.
Domestic manganese most recent rates but a rise. Because of the arrival of the wet period, many producers of manganese alloy manufacturers have already started, the level of manganese in domestic demand, Moreover, due to manganese alloy prices in the market, and also to stimulate their prices. Electrolytic Manganese particular price rise prompted now rhodochrosite 15 grade prices have reached 1,500 yuan / ton.
Expected that if the late supply of manganese ore imports remains tense, then prices will rise again to the situation, Manganese and domestic prices because of a limit on the redeployment will maintain the current rates, few floating.

[Manganese ore] The Chinese manganese ore conformity, the government and the enterprise respectively have the view

Chinese manganese ore mining safety and pollution problems manganese resources makes the integration imperative. However, the integration of the miners have been contravened. Following is a press-depth Chongqing Xiushan mines for the investigation reports :
January 19, 2007, the Ministry of Land, Development and Reform Commission and nine other ministries jointly announced "the development of mineral resources for integration" (hereinafter referred to opinions). , before the end of 2008, China will be the development of national mineral resources enterprise integration, "Mine will be one only one mining rights."
In view of this rigid, mining enterprises will be reorganized through various forms, of mineral resources, and other production elements re-integration of manganese ore resources in the integration of its series. However, facts show that the integration of China's manganese ore is facing a tug-of-war between the government and enterprises.
The Chinese government badly needs to be changed in the embarrassing situation of manganese
Xiushan Chongqing Municipality and Tujia Autonomous County of Huayuan County, Songtao Miao Autonomous County of Guizhou known as China's "triangle of manganese," three counties have combined proven reserves of manganese ore of up to 80 million tons, is the world's largest manganese ore and Manganese production base. And manganese ore production in three counties has become a pillar industry in recent years, three counties for more than half of revenue from the manganese industry.
Information : Manganese is an important steelmaking raw materials, the output of manganese from 90 to 95% for the iron and steel industry, its main purpose is as ironmaking and steelmaking process of Deoxidizer and desulfurizers, and used in the production of alloy.
Because manganese ore production concentration and skill levels weaker, China finished in 2006 manganese ore production of 500 million tons and it can not yield substantial growth. But in recent years, China's steel industry by stimulating the development of China's manganese rapid growth in demand, manganese imports and subsequent price surge. China has become the world's biggest manganese ore importer.
Based on the above, the Chinese government eager to change this embarrassing situation. At this time, the share of "the world manganese are" masters of Xiushan County of Chongqing Municipality on comes to the center of storm.
The survey found that manganese mining Xiushan County, the most frenzied, there have been more than 90 mining enterprises. Manganese mining although the local government has brought huge financial revenue, also pushing for a large number of pumping "Giant Pandas" (a high-grade cigarette packs contract 20 dollars / box) miners, But its extensive mode once the industry to the world of criticism, not only is a waste of resources. also on the local environment caused enormous damage, mining accidents have occurred from time to time.
According to Xiushan County of the rich mining company XIAO You Fu recalled that early Xiushan to attracting investment, encourage private capital to enter the exploitation of mining, in the absence of relevant norms of the instances, a manganese mining chaotic situation.
XIAO You think the rich more compromise : "If integration is a last resort, and in keeping most of the manganese enterprises, My idea is to enable each of the District of manganese funded enterprises as a company, to get mining permits, Manganese then these 'packaged ingredients mine', so that will be solved with no other manganese mining rights may be closed down. "In fact, XIAO You mentioned the rich "as much as a card" in Xiushan is not without precedent. In Xiushan County of manganese enterprises, the boss has a name linked manganese have four manganese. The benefits of doing so is that if a manganese ore 400,000 to pay the mortgage payment risk. So have the mining permit miners can supervise the four respective ore 100,000, and not their own dime.

Stainless steel quotation influence domestic ferrochrome market

Since May, our country stainless steel market quotation has appeared intense, the market selling price appears has continued to rise the situation, but looked according to the market feedback information, its deal condition is not really ideal. Investigates its reason, the professional believed that, along with the nickel price depth adjustment and stainless steel expense tradition season taking turn, the nickel price top digit movement, creates the downriver stainless steel profession digestion to be slow, deal nature existence pressure.
said regarding the stainless steel that, played the main role besides the nickel price, ferrochrome price quotation also pair process certain influence. According to this net information demonstrated that, starts from at the beginning of this year, the domestic ferrochrome price on unceasingly appears the large scale promotion, so far high carbon ferrochrome 60 base prices maintenances about 10,500 Yuan/tons, center carbon ferrochrome in 15500-16000 Yuan/ton, low-carbon ferrochrome in 16000-165000 Yuan/ton, micro carbon ferrochrome about 16,800 Yuan/tons, domestic high carbon ferrochrome Gao Weipan entire, its increase scope had achieved about 17.6%, the professional thought causes the ferrochrome price position to walk the high reason to lie in the market demand exuberantly, the international chrome ore quotation large scale climbs, the source of goods supply is anxious and so on a series of factors. Since
in May the domestic ferrochrome, the chrome ore price already "have holdd troops" outside, is unable to withstand the high cost except the partial factories the pressure to suspend production, to produce a different product, the majority of factories still in continue to persist, simultaneously also in close attention market small change, after however city development whether can entire continue such top digit plate to get down? This is merchant most issue of concern. At present all factors all already have aimed at the stainless steel mill purchase, again will have was the stainless steel future trend, in June the steel mill producer price still surrendered to the state, brought the pressure to the market, because the market many kinds of factors existence, after the stainless steel the city changed subtly, the current ferrochrome market also further will face the test.
