According to the overall reflection of market participants, the demand side of downstream inquiry compared with last week slightly increased, but the actual trading volume is still not large. According to the performance of the buyer, as the price of antimony products has remained stable for nearly a month, the buyer began to have a rising mood, and even a lot of unconfirmed gossip came out on the market that many manufacturers began to raise prices and sales. These news also spread like wildfire and became the topic of market exchanges. However, in terms of the actual market transaction prices, compared with the previous period, the change is not great, but because the current operating rate of many large manufacturers is still low, coupled with the original suppliers of some low-price resources also began to cherish the selling mood, so it is not ruled out that on the basis of stable prices, there will be some high-priced resources.
