The short position of the domestic speculative market is suppressed, and traders want to talk about this, and the purchase price is positive, but the indium market continued to probe in the first half of the year, and the pan-Asian auction inventory has not yet been solved, while the low price of indium materials is difficult to find, and the production of crude indium producers is negative. the shortage of available sources makes the price of crude indium relatively firm for the time being, and the actual transaction is in the range of 1030 to 1050 yuan / kg. The cost factors lead to the production of refined indium smelting producers is limited, and the inventory pressure is not great, although the transaction is difficult, but the profit delivery is also not recognized, so it is difficult for downstream traders or end users to lower the price, and the market is in a stalemate stage.
