Vanadium weekly review (December 17-21, 2018): Vanadium market has been in standoff

Date: Dec 21, 2018

www.ferroalloynet.com: Though the large-scale factories quote V205 flake at 250000 rmb/ton, while the transaction prices sit mainly in a range of 200000-220000 rmb/ton by cash. Some vanadium-nitrogen manufacturers purchase from Jianlong at the price of 215000 rmb/ton by acceptance and quote vanadium-nitrogen at 370000 rmb/ton, underpinning the whole vanadium market. However, few buyers are interested. Now vanadium-nitrogen is trading mostly in a range of 320000-350000 rmb/ton. More steel mills want to purchase vanadium materials but the bidding prices are in downtrend. The whole vanadium market is deadlocked this week and market participants are awaiting the bidding prices at the end of month.
