Analysis of Latest Tungsten Market from Chinatungsten Online
Tungsten prices remained generally stable on Monday; market participants largely adopted a wait-and-see approach with limited trading initiative, awaiting news that might indicate a clear market direction.
Heavy rainfall has persisted recently across regions stretching from southern Jiangnan to South China. Due to seasonal factors and traders' reluctance to lower prices, the circulating supply of tungsten concentrate remains relatively tight, and sellers are holding firm on their asking prices. Prices in the smelting and powder-making sectors are trading sideways, caught between cost support and demand constraints, with upstream and downstream segments trading primarily on an as-needed basis. Sentiment in the scrap tungsten market has fluctuated; significant discrepancies between buying and selling price expectations have dampened overall liquidity, leaving the market stable but under pressure.
