Ferro-vanadium prices lost further strength on Friday October 18, as reports emerged of a significantly weaker market.
據悉,由于歐洲市場出現明顯弱勢的跡象,10月18日周五,歐洲釩鐵價格進一步失去支撐。
Metal Bulletin’s in-warehouse Rotterdam quotation fell to $24.50-25.50 per kg on Friday, marking the lowest level since August, and a considerable drop from highs of about $33 earlier in the year.
根據英國《金屬導報》報價顯示,周五歐洲釩鐵鹿特丹港口報價下滑至24.5-25.5美元/千克,這是自8月份以來的最低水平,也是繼本年初期釩鐵價格實現33美元/千克后的較大下調。
據悉,由于歐洲市場出現明顯弱勢的跡象,10月18日周五,歐洲釩鐵價格進一步失去支撐。
Metal Bulletin’s in-warehouse Rotterdam quotation fell to $24.50-25.50 per kg on Friday, marking the lowest level since August, and a considerable drop from highs of about $33 earlier in the year.
根據英國《金屬導報》報價顯示,周五歐洲釩鐵鹿特丹港口報價下滑至24.5-25.5美元/千克,這是自8月份以來的最低水平,也是繼本年初期釩鐵價格實現33美元/千克后的較大下調。
“Ferro-vanadium has taken a bit of a hit recently. We’ve seen a tender in Germany for about 10 tonnes, which should be going at quite a good number, but we’ve heard they want [less than $25.50],” a trader said.
“最近釩鐵產品價格遭受較大沖擊。早些時候,我們聽說德國市場出現10噸的批量成交,成交價格本應該有個較好的水平。但是,我們聽說采購商給出的詢盤價格在25.5美元/千克以下”,一位貿易商表示。
“[For 10 tonnes], the trucking cost is higher, so it should have had a premium.”
“對于10噸的訂單來說,運輸成本相對較高。所以,這筆交易可能會出現溢價,使得生產廠家面臨虧損。”
It is now impossible to conclude business at levels close to $26, market participants said, as even the most bullish begin to adapt their views.
現在以26美元/千克左右的水平不太可能達成交易,市場參與者說,即使是最樂觀的投資商也必須承認這一觀點。
“It’s a real battle. I find an enemy everywhere I go. I’ve heard about business [below $25.50],” a second trader said.
“在如此低迷的市場中運營無疑是種挑戰。我發現無論我走到哪里,都有競價商出現。此外,我聽說有低于25.50美元/千克的低價成交水平出現,”另一位貿易商說。
“I think it’s just one trader. The producers are trying to hold at $25, but someone is desperately trying to get rid of material.”
“我認為這只是一個個例。生產商正試圖將產品價格維持在25美元/千克,但部分商家竭力低價走貨,減持現貨庫存,使得該價格水平難以維持。”
Prices regained some strength as the summer period in Europe ended, but have weakened steadily since the beginning of September.
歐洲夏季淡季結束,釩鐵價格再次堅挺起來。但是,自9月份后價格不斷趨弱運行。
Further falls are expected before the end of the fourth quarter as participants look to destock into the year end.
因為市場參與者打算年底前縮減儲量,所以,外部人士預計第四季度末前釩鐵產品價格將進一步下跌。
“When you get to this low range, it creates problems for some producers, in terms of cost of production – we’re very close to the cut off in terms of margins,” the second trader said.
“當價格逐漸趨于底部的時候,會對生產商產生許多問題,例如產品的生產成本,我們幾乎已經接近利潤的邊緣”,第二個貿易商表示。
