The fluorite market, a raw material for aluminum fluoride, experienced a smooth transition during the week. Currently, the operating rate of mines in the north is moderate, and combined with the supplement of imported ore, the market supply side is relatively abundant. On the demand side, the price of hydrofluoric acid continues to decline, and enterprises have extremely low enthusiasm for purchasing high-priced fluorite. Most enterprises only maintain restocking to meet immediate needs, and some small and medium-sized hydrofluoric acid plants have even suspended fluorite purchases. The continuous weakness on the demand side has led to a strong wait-and-see sentiment in the market, and fluorite prices lack upward momentum.
