[SMM Tungsten Daily Review: Market Demand Remains Weak, Tungsten Market Lacks Momentum] The current situation of tight supply in the market has changed relatively little, and suppliers have limited room for price concessions. However, due to persistently weak demand, market participants show low purchase willingness, and overall transactions are stuck in a demand-driven stalemate. Affected by unfavourable factors such as weak downstream demand, a challenging foreign trade environment, and the reduction in long-term contract prices, smelters have recently exhibited low market sentiment and lack confidence. Insufficient downstream market orders and slow inventory digestion have resulted in a lack of momentum in the recent market trend.

SMM March 10 News:

【Market Dynamics】

The current tight supply situation in the market has not changed significantly, and suppliers have limited room for price concessions. However, due to persistently weak demand, market participants showed low purchase willingness, and overall transactions remained in a stalemate, conducted on an as-needed basis. Affected by unfavourable factors such as weak downstream demand, a challenging foreign trade environment, and the downward adjustment of long-term contract prices, smelters have recently exhibited low market sentiment and a lack of confidence. Insufficient downstream orders and slow inventory digestion have left the market lacking momentum in the near term.
