SMM Weekly Review: Aluminum Fluoride Prices Plummet Under Cost and Demand Pressures

[SMM Weekly Review on Fluoride Salts: Aluminum Fluoride Prices Plunge Amid Dual Pressure from Costs and Demand]

Currently, downstream aluminum benchmark enterprises have completed tender pricing, and the aluminum fluoride market's business center is focused on order delivery. In February, aluminum fluoride prices followed mainstream prices, dropping significantly to around 10,600 yuan/mt. After the aluminum fluoride prices were finalized, although supply recovered to some extent, the signing of new orders by enterprises was not ideal. The weak downstream demand is unlikely to improve effectively in the short term, coupled with the weakening support from the cost side. SMM expects that in the short term, aluminum fluoride prices will still face certain downward pressure.
