[SMM Tungsten Daily Review: Tungsten Market Prices Stable, Sentiment Leads] As month-end approaches, buyer market inquiries have increased, with slight growth in actual procurement. Quotations for 65% black tungsten concentrate remained stable at 143,000 yuan/standard mt, with suppliers showing strong confidence. Smelters, affected by high costs, showed low enthusiasm for quoting APT bulk cargo, with actual transaction negotiations concentrated in the 210,500-211,000 yuan/mt range. The downstream hard alloy market did not see a significant increase in procurement enthusiasm, and tungsten powder prices remained stable as a result, with market circulation steady. Overall, the tungsten market's supply and demand remain in a state of contention. Although tungsten prices have stopped falling, their short-term upward potential remains limited.
