Shandong Humon Launches Public Tender for 7,039.15 kg of Selenium Ingots, Grade Se99

According to SMM estimates, China's refined bismuth production in June 2026 will show little change compared with May, edging up by less than 1% month-on-month. Many market participants expect that the tightness in raw material supply for domestic bismuth producers is unlikely to ease significantly as summer sets in, and production will likely continue to be constrained. Refined bismuth output is expected to remain largely steady, though a decline cannot be ruled out.

Selenium prices have declined notably of late. On one hand, steel mills have entered summer maintenance and cut production, leading to lower electrolytic manganese orders, while electrolytic manganese producers had previously built up substantial inventories. On the other hand, some companies began offloading material at low prices, triggering a chain reaction of sell-offs by other producers, causing selenium prices to fall sharply.
