[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.
