The tungsten market was weakly weak throughout July, and the decline of various tungsten products was larger than many people expected. At present, there are still no signs of stabilizing.

The tungsten ore market continues to be under pressure. Most miners are not very interested in shipping, and they know that it is very difficult to ship at this time. Therefore, they all maintain a wait-and-see attitude, but for some low-cost mining companies. In other words, the market outlook is difficult to predict. At this time, shipments can also reduce risks. Therefore, there are always low-priced transactions in the market. The price of tungsten sand without tax falls to 1.37-1.38 yuan, and the price of black tungsten standard is About 102,000 yuan / standard tons, rushed to the threshold of 100,000 yuan / ton.
Like the tungsten mine market, the price of APT has continued to decline. The low price has reached the threshold of 165,000 yuan / ton. However, unlike tungsten concentrate, there are not many spot resources in the smelter, and the spot available for sale is limited. Most of the manufacturers' purchases are mainly spot-based. If the futures, the price will be very low, and the manufacturers in the market will try to digest the stocks as much as possible, and delay the purchase time to wait for opportunities. Therefore, the price trend of APT is still better than that of tungsten concentrates. Flat, but the current market lacks favorable support. The weak market continued to be eased in August. However, the negative factors are still affecting the market. Therefore, the follow-up trend of the APT market is still weak.

However, regardless of the price, market orders are very limited, and the market is in the off-season. In addition, the downstream manufacturers look at the hollow state, so that downstream manufacturers will not enter the market for stocking even if they have purchasing demand. Therefore, the market volume is very limited. In the short term, this state will continue and the market will be under pressure.
The factors that cause the market's weakness are superimposed, and even without the stimulus of factors such as pan-Asian and trade wars, the market will be in the downtrend channel, but the decline may be smaller because the market is relatively in June. The state of high position has a certain space for decline, and since June, the market has entered the low season of demand, the orders for alloys and powders have been significantly reduced, the domestic consumption is off season, the summer market is closed, and the environmental inspection in Zhangzhou area is over, the smelters are discontinued. Basically all returned to normal, supply increased relatively, and demand decreased, which caused a short-term imbalance between supply and demand in the market. In the short-term, it is difficult to enter the market, the market is still under downward pressure.
