Several mt of crude selenium from a major manufacturer in east China were recently successfully traded [SMM Selenium Report].

SMM January 21: According to market rumors, the recent publicly noticed tender for the sale of over 20 mt of crude selenium by a major plant in east China was reportedly fully and successfully transacted. Although the official transaction price was not disclosed, some market participants involved in the bidding revealed that many bid prices around 160 yuan/kg failed to win the tender. Therefore, market participants estimated the final actual transaction price exceeded 160 yuan/kg. Compared to the transaction results of crude selenium tenders from other manufacturers some time ago, this week's tender set a new high for crude selenium transaction prices. The upward trend in selenium prices continued, indicating that despite the crude selenium market approaching the end of the year, buying interest from end-users and speculative buyers showed no signs of weakening.
