[SMM Tungsten Daily Review: Raw Material Supply Tightens, High-Price Transactions Face Challenges] Currently, tungsten prices remain stable and firm.

However, the release on the demand side is insufficient, and the consumption side is hesitant to follow up on new orders due to concerns over high prices, resulting in a gradually cooling overall market trading atmosphere.
