www.ferroalloynet.com: In the first two days of this week, vanadium-nitrogen alloy steel bidding price was maintained at CNY 220,000-230,000/t by acceptance. As Travic, Desheng and Jianlong , three large vanadium factories, offered for CNY 170,000 yuan/t on Wednesday, the guide price of vanadium alloy of Panzhihua Steel also released: The offer of 50# ferrovanadium was CNY 180,000/t, and that of vanadium-nitrogen alloy was CNY 260,000/t. The domestic big factories’ quotation made the vanadium market trend become clearer, the confidence of vanadium enterprises to the future slightly increased, the following traders’ offer slightly edged up, and they are reluctant to sell at low prices. Some vanadium enterprises believed that the latter part of this month, vanadium prices would have a small upward momentum. These two days, the inquiry is active, purchase intention has strengthened.
