The quotation of ferrovanadium bulk cargo is firm and the transaction price remains stable. There is still a gap between the bidding price of VN alloy and the transaction price of bulk goods. The demand in the middle of the month is weak; the market is not bullish and mainly stable. Some people in the industry are worried about the source of imported goods, and the vanadium market continues to stagnate in the short term.
At present, the transaction price of V2O5 flake is between 105000 yuan / ton and 105500 yuan / ton in cash. Large factories and some processing plants insist on the price of 105500 yuan / ton in cash, while the quotation of bulk market is unified at 105000 yuan / ton in cash, including domestic V2O5 flake 98% and some imported V2O5 flake 99%. There are a lot of supply sources for bulk goods, and they are also reluctant to ship at a lower price. In the short term, the situation remains stalemate and some alloy factories can still accept this price when they purchase on demand. With the price of ferrovanadium slightly firming, it is expected that the demand for V2O5 flake in ferrovanadium processing plants will increase to some extent.
