【Market Dynamics】

Currently, tungsten ore supply is gradually recovering, but the limited number of new mine projects has provided some support to the market. However, downstream demand recovery remains slow, and consumers show low willingness to restock, leading to a subdued market trading atmosphere. In the short term, the supply-demand imbalance in the market is unlikely to improve quickly, and prices are still under certain downward pressure. In the long term, with the implementation of domestic economic policies and the gradual recovery of demand, the tungsten market is expected to stabilize progressively.
