From the point of view of the major manufacturers in the market this week, manufacturers are willing to ship more, and the attitude of quotation and concession actively makes the inventory of bismuth ingots in manufacturers continue to decrease. Therefore, the resource shipping attitude of traders and speculators has become the main factor to determine the speed of market prices. Judging from the price changes of shippers in the middle of the week, pessimism about the future and the need to withdraw funds near the end of the year have become the main contradiction in accelerating the downward movement of shipping quotations in the near future. Bismuth prices are also expected to fall further next week.
