The price of antimony concentrate has been rising all the way this week. The recovery of domestic antimony mining is slow, and there is no clear news of resumption of work in the near future. Recently, domestic smelting mainly relies on imported ore sources. Affected by foreign public health events, the situation of imported antimony ore is not optimistic. There are only sporadic small batch imports in the past half a year, which is a drop in the bucket to alleviate the shortage of domestic ore supply. On March 8, the quotation of European Strategic small metal was 10250 US dollars / ton, while on March 4, the quotation of European Strategic small metal was only 9750 US dollars / ton, which was increased by 500 US dollars / ton for three consecutive days. The rise of international antimony ingot price further affected the domestic spot market price. The domestic antimony ingot market price was increased for five consecutive days, with a cumulative increase of 900 yuan / ton.

 

As of March 8, the average price of 2 ﹥ low bismuth antimony ingot was 68500 yuan / ton, 1 ﹥ antimony ingot was 70000 yuan / ton, 0 ﹥ antimony ingot was 71000 yuan / ton, and the average price of 2 ﹥ high bismuth antimony ingot was 64000 yuan / ton, which was about 1000-1200 yuan / ton higher than that at the beginning of the month. The market price of antimony trioxide continued to rise along with the trend of antimony ingot.

There were 8 kinds of commodities with a month on month decrease, and 4 kinds of commodities with a decrease of more than 5%, accounting for 18.2% of the number of commodities monitored in the sector; the top 3 products with a decrease were nickel (- 12.39%), cobalt (- 8.66%) and silver (- 6.31%). The average rise and fall this week was 0.53%. Most of the nonferrous metal market rose

 

At present, it is difficult to ease the tight supply at the ore end. It is difficult to increase the quantity of domestic and overseas imports in the short term. The smelter can only continuously increase the ex factory price to achieve the purpose of reluctant to sell. Therefore, the price of antimony ingot still has room to rise in the future.
