[Tungsten Express] SMM June 24: The tungsten concentrates market saw sparse transactions today. Downstream smelters mainly purchased as needed, while mines faced difficulty with shipments. Some spot orders were concluded at negotiated prices centered below online quotes and long-term contract prices, and the market was mainly in the doldrums in the short term. This week, attention will focus on auction results for medium- and low-grade tungsten concentrates from mines in Yunnan, Shaanxi, and Hunan, as well as the long-term contract prices of an enterprise in Guangdong.
