SMM reported on April 20 that according to market rumors, a major northern manufacturer's public bidding for the sale of dozens of tons of crude selenium, which had recently drawn market attention, ultimately ended in failed transactions, sources said. Market participants indicate that given the bidding results for selenium, it is understandable for buyers to adopt a wait-and-see stance temporarily after crude selenium prices rose too quickly and repeatedly hit new highs in the recent period.
