There are not many transactions in the retail market, and the market’s cautious attitude has increased, mostly focusing on maintaining stability and waiting.
Major manufacturers began to sign orders and deliver goods one after another, with good downstream acceptance.

Inquiries have weakened, and high-priced transactions are less frequent. Many manufacturers said that they would purchase at the right price, and temporarily wait and see if the price was not appropriate. The price change of ammonium metavanadate is small, and the mainstream market transaction is 123,000-125,000 yuan/ton in cash, making it more difficult to purchase low-level resources.
