(Note: period refers to the period from September 8, 2012 to now).

 

In March, the trend of domestic antimony ingot market continued in the first ten days of the year, and the price went up all the way, and the market returned to stable in the middle and last ten days. Since the middle of 20 years, affected by foreign public health events, the supply of antimony ore end has been in a tight state, and some antimony ingot manufacturers have suspended export sales in the state of continuous tight supply in China. After the shortage of raw material supply continued for a long time, domestic smelters shut down in a large area, resulting in a strong upward situation of domestic antimony ingot market price. In order to cope with the sharp drop in output caused by the shortage of raw materials, domestic manufacturers have to increase the ex factory price of antimony ingots to alleviate the problem of insufficient domestic supply. After entering the middle and late ten days, the price rose sharply in the early stage, some downstream products were prepared in advance, digesting some downstream demand, and the market as a whole was in a state of cold trading. At present, the price of antimony ingot has been at a high level for nearly a decade, both buyers and sellers are on the sidelines, and the actual market transaction situation is still weak.

 

In terms of price, as of the 31st, the average price of 2 ᦇ low bismuth antimony ingot was 70500 yuan / ton, 1 ᦇ antimony ingot was 72000 yuan / ton, 0 ᦇ antimony ingot was 73000 yuan / ton, and the average price of 2 ᦇ high bismuth antimony ingot was 65500 yuan / ton, which was about 12000 yuan / ton higher than that of the same period last month.

 

The business association thinks that the sharp rise of antimony ingot price this month is mainly due to the shortage of raw materials. Although the current situation of shortage of raw materials is to be effectively alleviated, the antimony ingot price is already at a historical high, and the downstream pressure is relatively large. In the case of no obvious impact on the basic supply and demand side in the future market, it is expected that the antimony ingot price is still high and stable.

It is suggested to pay close attention to the maintenance plan of manufacturers in the near future.
