June port chrome ore market downturn steady decline

Click here to see more information on chrome ore

Since May chromium into the city gradually fell down period, the chrome ore market began showing a weak trend of sluggish, June port chrome ore imports continue to increase the number of spot inventory, sources revealed that in early to mid-6, China's major Port chromium ore inventory of chrome ore in the 130-140 million tons from top to bottom, in mid-Lianyungang chrome mine about 60 million tons of inventory, Zhanjiang Port, about 100,000 tons of inventory around, Fangchenggang in Guangxi have 3-4 million tons of inventory, The increase in inventories also makes imports slowed the intensity of importers, traders said this was mainly to the lower reaches of chromium iron market for more than a month remains in the doldrums since the impact of the slowing market purchases made to significantly reduce the volume and price with FeCr Fell, chromium iron manufacturers procurement chromium ore prices further down, for the deal, traders had to sell prices, the grade of chrome ore price is lower than many before.
On all types of chromium ore prices, just entering June, the mine is showing a price decline trend of reduction than in April has been the price of 10-15 yuan / ton above the decline, some species decline in more obvious, Such as: India, 50 percent friable ore market in mainstream quotations 115-120 yuan / ton; Oman block 38 percent of ore, the market pricing in the mainstream of 75-80 yuan / ton; Oman Block 36 percent ore, the market pricing in the mainstream of 73 -- 75 yuan / ton, but the actual turnover in general 71-72 yuan / ton; Turkey blocks mine 40-42% of the market in mainstream quotations 110-115 yuan / ton; South Africa powder 42 percent, the market pricing in the mainstream 80 -81 Yuan / ton; South Africa powder 44 percent, the market pricing in the mainstream of 85-86 yuan / ton; Pakistan block ore 30.18 percent 2.26:1; market in mainstream quotations 78-80 yuan / ton, but the actual turnover in general In 75 to 80 yuan / ton degrees.

As China's chrome alloy market further lower, chromium iron into the bottom of Stock Market, the price of mining, electricity and other costs only by unabated, chromium iron manufacturers profit After compression, the weariness of the market slump and the procurement of more non-wang, chromium Mine merchant transaction price also fell further, but since entering June, the chrome ore import business based on the cost of supporting the mine to maintain price stability Quruo trend started running, at the end of June the mine is not a reduction from the very beginning, such as About 50 percent of India's ore pricing in the 114-118 yuan / ton, 44 percent of flour in South Africa 83-86 yuan / ton degrees.
Imports, pricing, was also adjusted, the end of June, Iran 42% block in the 560-580 dollar mine / ton (CIF) contract (early in the 630-660 dollar / metric tons), Pakistan 42% block in the mine 540-580 U.S. dollars / ton from top to bottom (CIF) contract (early in the 635-660 dollar / metric tons), Turkey part of small businesses in the price of 650 U.S. dollars / ton from top to bottom, but still adhere to the 700 U.S. dollars / ton (655-710 U.S. dollars for the early / Tons), India 50 percent in the fragile ore FOB 765-825 U.S. dollars / ton (early in the 695-725 dollar / metric tons), South Africa 42-44% of the FOB flour 425-465 dollars / ton (and almost the beginning of price), Other pieces such as Oman mine also varying degrees of adjustment. This can be seen, Iran, Pakistan and other ores in June dropped 80 to 90 dollars / ton, a slight upgrade Turkey ore, ore to maintain the level of South Africa, India mine rose substantially.
In addition, as we all know, after the New Year, due to the limited South Africa, and local Cr Iron Works part of the impact of the accident, the worldwide supply of resources began tightening chromium, as chromium resources Jinkoudaguo China, the demand of course is self-evident, and this Chromium products at the lower reaches of China's procurement market terms, making the price all the way up. South Africa to about 44 percent chromium flour for example, by the beginning of the 58 yuan / ton up to a maximum of around early May to 90 yuan / ton above; India imports of chrome ore similar situation in India imposed export tariffs, 50 Percent of India flour was shown in more than 130 yuan / ton; Over the same period, China's high-chromium prices by 9,600 yuan / ton-up to around 17,000 yuan / ton-around after China's stainless steel production has brought a series of chain reaction , High-carbon ferrochromium substantially reduced demand, prices fell rapidly, chromium ore also lost the support of the original Chinese market, although still high, set pricing, but the Chinese market has begun to enter a relatively depressed period, the port difficult to digest the spot price Gradual disappearance of the bubble, the market started steady decline.
