In terms of selenium powder: foreign media quoted 99.9% selenium powder as of Friday at 8.3 US $10 / lb, the lower limit price was 0.2 US dollars / lb lower than last Friday.

Selenium: the domestic electrolytic manganese market has been stable for a long time, and the recent selenium dioxide price is stable, individual selenium processing plants are temporarily reduced, affecting the supply of selenium low price supply, the mentality of businesses tends to be stable, but the transaction does not lead to market wait-and-see, in addition, from the crude selenium stock inventory cost, manufacturers price reduction space is limited; and downstream inquiry is mundane, the transaction atmosphere is weak, the price is stable this week.

Crude selenium: this week, crude selenium trading is still light, domestic selenium powder and two selenium manufacturers have part of the pre-inventory, do not rush to purchase. And in the selenium market as a whole weak operation, more emphasis on the wait-and-see mood. The shipping arrangement of domestic copper enterprises still has some time, and the price of crude selenium is stable this week.
