This week, the domestic selenium market continues to be stable, manufacturers basically maintain normal production, downstream consumption is not exuberant, prices are stable, there are no signs of loosening.

In foreign media, 99.9% selenium powder was quoted at $8.5 to $10 a pound as of Friday, down from a high of $0.50 a pound on Friday. It is time for the summer break, overseas market consumption is still light, high price transactions have become weaker.

In terms of selenium dioxide, the overall supply is stable, and some processing households have a small supply due to production difficulties; the supply of goods from manufacturers is stable, and the downstream on-demand procurement is in the market, and the transaction is still kept near the average price of the non-ferrous network.
