[+/-] : China's antimony ingot prices hold firm; Jan-Feb exports down
China's antimony ingot prices have held firm quoting at $5,500-5,600/mt on a CIF basis despite a thin market. Buying interest from overseas remains lacking, said industry sources on Monday, as current high prices continued to slow overseas demand.
An official from Beijing Antaike, the state-run nonferrous metals information provider, told Platts: "Prices were down slightly by $50-100 right after the Lunar New Year in mid-February but they soon rebounded to the level seen in early 2007." But he noted that spot trade had been subdued due to a lack of buying interest. "Spot deals are still very slow-moving as overseas consumers still find prices too expensive for them."
One local trader said most offer prices for antimony remained strong at around $5,600/mt on a CIF basis. "Export prices are still firm. The Chinese government limits exports from the country and prices are strong due to limited supplies."
Industry sources said China was to release about 60,000 mt of export quotas this year on antimony.
Meanwhile, the Antaike official anticipated that China's antimony output was to reach about 135,000-140,000 mt in 2007, up slightly compared with about 130,000 mt produced in 2006. "I expect the output level growth won't exceed 5% year on year in 2007. It would be a small growth this year as Chinese antimony output remains restricted by limited antimony concentrate supplies," he said.
According to latest customs statistics, China exported 692 mt of unwrought antimony, waste and scrap in January-February 2007, down 63.2% from the same period last year. Their value also plunged 41.1% year on year to $3.52 million.

[+/-] : Glencore to be sole distribution agent for Xstrata Nickel
Swiss commodities trading group Glencore is to become the sole distribution agent for Xstrata Nickel from the beginning of April, Xstrata Nickel said Wednesday.
Ian Hamilton, spokesman for Xstrata Nickel, told Platts that the agreement had been struck Tuesday evening and that notices were being sent to customers to tell them of the new arrangements. The agreement covers Xstrata Nickel's nickel, ferronickel and cobalt production. While the agreement comes into effect at the beginning of April, Hamilton said there would be a transition phase.
"The reason for it is that it allows us to leverage their [Glencore] marketing operations. They have sales operations in 50 locations globally, as opposed to our three," Hamilton said.
The confirmation of the agreement ends months of speculation in the market that a deal between Xstrata Nickel and Glencore was likely, following Xstrata's acquisition of Canadian nickel producer Falconbridge last year. Several traders said during February and March that they believed a deal between the two was imminent.
Glencore is a major shareholder in Xstrata.

[+/-] : Chinese manganese metal prices surge; offers in wide range
Chinese-origin 99.7% manganese metal offer prices have continued to rise, moving beyond $3,000/mt FOB China this week. Prices, however, are quoted in a wide range at $3,000-3,500/mt FOB China in a thin market, local traders said on Thursday. Prices were indicated at around $2,000-2,200/mt FOB China a week ago.
One Hong Kong-based trader said: "Offer prices for manganese metal are changing every day. I am now offering material at about $3,200/mt FOB China but could not find buyers so far." The trader said prices for its raw material carbonate manganese ore prices were rising, leading to firmer manganese metal prices. "Manganese ore is rich in Hunan province of China but the area's mining activity has been further restricted by the government due to the heightened environmetal protection policy in China," he said.
Another trader said: "The highest offer price level I heard earlier this week was at $3,500/mt FOB China. Prices are up but we can't find spot material available so far. Chinese producers are holding back their material when prices are going up." A third trader added: "Prices were up earlier this week but we are now seeing some technical correction these past two days. Offer prices are all over the place and moving in wide range due to market speculation."

[+/-] : China's nonferrous output set to grow 15% in 2007: CNMIA
Nonferrous metal production in China is expected to grow by 15% in 2007, led by aluminium and copper, boosted by mounting demand, China Daily reported Tuesday, quoting an industry organization.
The combined production of 10 main metals aluminium, copper, lead, zinc, nickel, tin, magnesium, titanium, antimony and mercury will reach 22 million mt in 2007, up from 19.17 million mt last year, said Kang Yi, president of the China Nonferrous Metal Industry Association.
The 2006 figure made China the world's top nonferrous metal manufacturer for a fifth consecutive year.
Kang said aluminium production would climb to 11 million mt this year from 9.35 million mt in 2006.
In the meantime, copper production would increase to 3.45 million mt from 3 million mt, he said.
Kang said China's demand for nonferrous metals would continue to grow this year thanks to booming metal-consuming industrial sectors such as real estate and cars. But he did not provide a specific forecast for 2007 demand.
"Prices (of nonferrous metals) will continue to sway at high levels this year," Kang said.
In 2006, prices of many nonferrous metals such as aluminium, copper, zinc and nickel hit record highs at home and abroad as a result of strong demand and hedge funds buying up metals futures.
Liu Defei, an analyst with Beijing-based metal industry consultancy Antaike Information Development, said domestic aluminium demand would surge by 28% to 10.8 million mt this year from 2006. The growth is up from the 21% reported last year, Liu said.
Meanwhile, Kang predicted China's production of alumina, the raw material used to make aluminium, would jump to 20 million mt in 2007 from 13.7 million mt in 2006, driven by swelling aluminium production.
Li Yusheng, also from Antaike, said copper demand in China would rise by 5.5% to 3.8 million mt this year. But the pace is down from the 9.2% posted in 2006, Li said, attributing this largely to high copper prices. "Due to lofty copper prices, many copper users in China are shifting to other relatively cheap metals, such as aluminium and alloy, to cut costs," he said.
Both the Antaike analysts, however, said prices of aluminium and copper would decline this year from the sensational levels of 2006. Liu said average aluminium prices in China would stand at around Yuan 18,000($2,326)/mt this year, down from more than Yuan 20,000/mt in 2006. Li said domestic copper prices would tumble to some Yuan 50,000/mt on average, down from Yuan 60,000/mt.
Last year's bullish prices saw the nonferrous metal industry rake in Yuan 110.03 billion in profits for 2006, doubling 2005's total, according to the association. Fixed-assets investment in the sector reached Yuan 118.08 billion last year, up 36.44%.The growth rate was down 6 percentage points from 2005 as a result of the government's macroeconomic controls.

[+/-] : Antimony trioxide market stable
BEIJING (Asian Metal) 21 Mar 07 – Antimony trioxide market remains stable for both domestic sales and export business, market sources reported to Asian Metal today.
A Hunan-based antimony trioxide smelter revealed that both antimony ingot and trioxide markets did not change much in the past week. “The purchasing price of 99.85% antimony ingot did rise by RMB500-600/t after the Spring Festival and hold at around RMB41,200/t (USD5,323/t) ex works. Therefore, our production cost of antimony trioxide increases accordingly,” said the source, adding that the concluded price of antimony trioxide 99.8% has kept at around RMB37,000/t (USD4,780/t)ex works over the past week after rising from RMB36,500/t (USD4,716/t) ex works.
Yunan Muli Antimony Industry Co.,Ltd, one of the export supplying enterprises for antimony trioxide currently sells at RMB37,000-37,500/t (USD4,780-4,845/t) ex works for its 99.8% antimony trioxide. An official from the company reported that the antimony trioxide market remains stable with demand coming steadily.
“Antimony ingot prices rose a little after the Spring Festival, and we increased our offers of antimony trioxide accordingly. Then the price keeps comparatively stable after the price adjustment,” said the source, believing the market will not change much in the following weeks.
An official from Hsikwangshan Twinkling Star Co.,Ltd., the largest antimony trioxide producer in the world, revealed that its export price for 99.5% antimony trioxide holds at around USD4,800/t FOB.
Due to shortage of raw materials and steady demand, the source revealed that their supply falls short of demand. “Coupled with the high-priced antimony ingot prices, I don’t think the market will decline in the short term,” said the source.
Meanwhile, high-quality antimony ingot is being offered at around RMB41,500/t (USD5,362/t) ex works while some consumers claimed they could purchase at prices RMB200-300/t (USD26-39/t) lower than that level. As long as the antimony ingot market remains unchanged, the antimony trioxide market will not fluctuate greatly, analysts said.

[+/-] : Antimony ingot market likely to rise slightly
BEIJING (Asian Metal) 7 Mar 07 - More smelters resumed production early this week after the Spring Festival holidays or plan to restart soon. According to market sources, many smelters are quoting higher prices after returning to the market. However, few concluded deals have been heard of as not only sellers but also buyers prefer to watch the market for a while.
A Guangxi-based trader reported that many smelters begun to quote RMB41,000-41,500/t (USD5,297-5,362/t) ex works when they came back from the Lunar New Year holidays early this week, but no deals have been reportedly closed at the increased price so far this week.
“Smelters usually raise offers when they come back from a long holiday just as what they did in the past years. They might succeed in driving the price up as the market supply decreases due to the closure of many smelters during the holiday period,” said the source.
With some materials on hand which were purchased before the Spring Festival, the source has no plan to replenish stocks in the short term. Meanwhile, the source reported that they will probably raise the export offer in line with the increasing quotations by smelters, though the export market is still quiet at the moment.
A Guangdong-based trader confirmed that Chinese smelters intend to sell at higher prices after the Spring Festival. “Export business is hard to conduct as the purchasing cost is really high. When smelter offer RMB41,000/t ex works or higher prices, we cannot make any profit unless we export at a price above USD5,500/t FOB,” said the source. “However, foreign buyers are even reluctant to accept the offer of USD5,400/t CIF Rotterdam for now.”
Market supply will be a little tighter as many smelters halted production for two weeks or more for holidays. Therefore, the source thinks the price might rise slightly in the following week. However, the source holds that there will be limited room for the price to rise as demand is not increasing significantly....

[+/-] : Antimony prices stay on a steady course
BEIJING (Asian Metal) 2 Mar 07 - Antimony global market remains quiet with traders looking for business in a spot market with low demand. This will likely keep antimony prices on a downward trend at least through the next week, industry observers said.
In India, merchant price for antimony 99.65%min is quoted at INR280-310/kg for internal market and at USD5,300-5,400/t CIF Nhava Sheva for international market, and antimony trioxide is quoted at INR290-295/kg.
Sheva for international market, and antimony trioxide is quoted at INR290-295/kg.
In Europe, at close, price for antimony 99.65%min remained at USD5,400-5,500/t warehouse Rotterdam and for antimony trioxide in a range of USD4,600-4,700/t warehouse Rotterdam.
“Market remains quite, with very little demand,” analyzed a European trader, “End users think prices are high enough and they are inquiring few figures,” and continued, “I only could conclude a deal of 60t of antimony 99.65%min at USD5,380/t CIF UK this week and I don’t have more inquiries for the next week.”
"It is just a temporary lull in the market," one trader commented, “Now I think antimony market would become more active as big consumers would come to the market to buy large quantities,” and continued, “I have few inquiries for this week but I don’t think prices would change drastically, as the market has been stable in Europe for sometime and consumers think prices are already high enough.”
Antimony trioxide market stays quite as well. “Demand from North Europe has dropped and price remains at the same level as last week,“ summarized a major European trader, “Now there are more materials in the spot market from Mexico, but with a lower grade of purity (99.2% min). I mainly import from China and I consider prices are quite high at the moment, so consumers are actively looking for substitutes for antimony,” and continued, ”Some colleagues and I think that demand has tailed off and it may necessitate remedial action by producers to support prices. I didn’t conclude any deal in last week.”...

[+/-] : Indian antimony market slide intensifies
BEIJING (Asian Metal) 7 Mar 07 - Antimony Indian spot market continues one more day dull and almost without activity, but this weak demand has not left traders fearful as they consider that market would come back at the end of the Indian fiscal year.
At close, Indian spot market quoted antimony 99.65%min CIF Mumbai at USD5,400-5,500/t and INR300-310/kg for the local market.
“ I closed a deal of 10t of antimony 99.65%min at USD5,500/t CIF Nhava Sheva,” a trader source commented, “and I have not more inquiries. Manufacturers are holding off on placing orders at the moment, taking a wait-and-see attitude.”
“It’s generally a very quiet period now but I think we could see a slight increase in demand as consumers are planning their stocks for the next quarter,” stated a second trader, “But on the other hand participants are waiting to the end of the tax year to come back to spot business, so we could see some signs of a long-awaited improvement in the market.”
For another major trader, Indian demand and prices had remained steady but he thinks the situation would change soon because Indian ecomony is growing, especially in the IT sector. “Now Chinese participants are trying to raise the price for antimony by around USD50-100/t and Indian consumers would not accept this increase,” continued the source, ‘But the material is important for our growth and we would have no other option but to adapt to it.”...

[+/-] : Zinc demand supported by world economic growth
A continuation of global economic growth over the medium-term should ensure strong zinc usage in the construction industry, the International Lead and Zinc Study Group said Monday.
At the same time, zinc demand in the public infrastructure sector should be strong in both the developed and developing world, said the ILZSG.
The construction and infrastructure sectors together account for over half of global zinc usage, said the ILZSG.
Within the construction sector, zinc is used for galvanized structural steel, roofs, facades, flashings, gutters and rainwater systems while within the public infrastructure sector, zinc is used for lighting columns, road crash barriers, railings and power transmission towers, the ILZSG said.
However, if zinc prices remain at such high levels, it could become a problem for zinc use in the construction sector, the ILZSG said, but will have a more muted impact on public infrastructure investment.
As public building standards are set by government and regional authorities and specify that zinc has to be used as a protector, it is less sensitive to price, said the ILZSG.
However, in the private sector, there are no such instances of mandatory zinc usage and therefore is subject to price fluctuations, the ILZSG said.
At 1100 GMT, three-month zinc traded at $3,200 a metric ton, down 30% from November's record high of $4,580/ton.
Adding to downward price pressure, the global refined zinc market reported a 50,000-ton surplus in January 2007, reversing a 31,000-ton deficit in the same month of 2006, a recent ILZSG report said. Refined zinc production in January was 941,000 tons while refined zinc consumption was 891,000 tons, the ILZSG said.

[+/-] : China curbs new antimony smelters
China has introduced new legislation aimed at limiting the building and expansion of tin, tungsten and antimony smelters.
The new regulations, which became law on January 1, will require smelters to use their own capital to fund 50% or more of any expansion
In addition, permission to build or expand such smelters will be not be given if the facility is unable to secure reliable supplies of raw materials, said Bloomberg, citing a statement on the website of the National Development and Reform Commission.
New tungsten projects will need to have an annual output of at least 2,000 t of tungsten powder, or 100 t of semi-finished products or 200 t of hard alloys.
Tin projects will be required to produce at least 8,000 t/y, while antimony plants will need a minimum output of 5,000 t.
The new environmental, financing and energy rules are designed to "properly develop China's advantageous resources, optimise the utilisation of resources and promote industry restructuring," the statement added.
The regulations also prevents new smelters from being built within 1 km of certain protected areas such as hospitals, tourist sites and medium-to-large cities.

[+/-] : Spot indium prices in Japan unchanged despite China export rule
Spot indium price levels in Japan have stayed unchanged from the previous week ended March 9, despite an announcement from China's Ministry of Commerce on a new indium export rule, Japanese sources said.
Some Chinese sellers raised their spot offers to a high of $850/kg CIF Japan for the 99.99% grade material, while some quoted at $680-700/kg CIF Japan, slightly higher compared to the $660-700/kg CIF range heard in the week ended March 9. The materials are for loading in mainland China. Meanwhile, a consumer looking for less than 1 mt of spot 99.99% indium this week indicated buying at less than $600/kg CIF Japan, and told a trader his company would not be interested if offers were higher.
The most recent major spot deal in Japan was in mid-February, involving 2-3 mt of the 99.99% metal at less than $600/kg CIF Japan.
China's Ministry of Commerce said on Friday the country's provincial governments would be required to submit on March 16 a list of eligible indium producers and exporters. Qualified smelters need to have produced an average of 4 mt/year of 99.993% or higher grade of indium metal in the past three years.
Industry sources in Japan and China agreed that this measure would limit the number of indium exporters in China. The current measure applies to 99.993% metals, but is likely to expand to include lower grade metals, they said. Japanese buyers, however, added that they did not see the spot price levels moving higher, due to the high level of indium metal stocks in Hong Kong. According to one Chinese trader, there are 20 mt of indium metals stored in warehouses in Hong Kong, which is enough to cover the annual spot demand in Japan.
Japanese traders also said they were diversifying their supply sources to outside China, so that they would not be as vulnerable to export policy changes in China. They said they hoped to expand their supply sources in South Korea and Russia.

[+/-] : Chinese indium traders mull forming export cooperative: sources
Chinese trading firms exporting indium are discussing a possibility of organizing an export cooperative, sources in China and Japan told Platts this week.
The idea to form an export cooperative follows the announcement by the China's Ministry of Commerce on Friday on the license requirement to export indium metals with 99.993% indium content or higher. The 99.99% metals have been excluded from the regulation.
The MOC announcement said all exporters, including trading firms, are required to have registered capital of at least Yuan 70 million ($9 million).
Japanese and Chinese trade sources agreed that a major Chinese trading firm China Minmetals Corp would be one of the few trading firms who would be eligible to export under the new system. Most trading firms in China are capitalized at less than Yuan 70 million.
"This is unfair," said a metal trader based in southern China whose company is capitalized at less than Yuan 20 million. "The new policy would only protect national company's interests," he said.
Another trade source said some export firms were discussing to set up an export cooperative collectively to win the license.
The MOC announcement said local governments in the provincial level were required to submit a list of eligible indium exporters this coming Friday [March 16] to China's Ministry of Commerce, China Chamber of Commerce of Metals, Minerals & Chemicals Importers & Exporters, and China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association. These organizations will review the exporters' lists, and submit them to the Ministry of Commerce before March 20.
"Ministry reviews and the system would put into effect possibly in April," said the source.
Under this schedule, traders planning to launch an export cooperative are given only a few days to organize themselves, which would be difficult to achieve.
Chinese and Japanese trade sources, however, added that the new MOC policy is only a tentative measure and could change.
The governments at provincial and smaller municipality levels do not necessarily support the MOC policy, the first Chinese trader said.
"Closure of indium plants means reduced tax income and higher unemployment," he said.

[+/-] : China's Ministry of Commerce sets standards on indium exports
China's Ministry of Commerce has announced export license details on indium exports, and will require local commerce authorities in China to draw up a list of exporters of indium who meet the export requirements.
According to a statement announced late Friday, lead, zinc, copper, tin and antimony smelters which produce (minimum 99.993% indium content) indium metal and want to continue indium exports are required to have produced an average of 4 mt/year in the past three years. Zinc chemical enterprises are required to have at least 10 mt/year of indium metal output while individual recyclers need to have had an indium output of 15 mt/year or above during the previous three-year period.
All exporters are also required to have registered capital of at least Yuan 70 million ($9 million).
The MOC said commerce departments with local authorities are required to submit a written document before March 16, 2007 to China's Ministry of Commerce, China Chamber of Commerce of Metals, Minerals & Chemicals Importers & Exporters, and China Nonferrous Metals Industry on smelters who are eligible for exports of indium metals according to the requirements set by the Chinese authority.
China Chamber of Commerce of Metals, Minerals & Chemicals Importers & Exporters, and China Nonferrous Metals Industry are required to review the exporters' lists, and then hand in the documents to the Ministry of Commerce before March 20.
China's Ministry of Commerce will review the lists and will then announce the lists of exporters who are allowed to continue exports in 2007.

[+/-] : SRPPLY Vanadium Pentoxide (V2O5) 99.5%
Vanadium pentoxide is the most common state in which vanadium is found. Vanadium is relatively abundant in the earth's crust (it is the 22nd most abundunt element), but economic deposits are rare. South Africa produces 40% of the world's vanadium, with the remaining 60% split among Russia, the Far East (mostly China), the USA and elsewhere.
Historical Background
Vanadium was discovered twice. In 1801, Andres Manuel del Rio named it erythronium, but then decided he merely had found an impure form of chromium. In 1830 Nils Gabriel Sefstrom found it separately, and named it after the Scandanavian goddess of beauty and youth--the metal's compounds provide beautiful colors in solution. Henry Enfield Roscoe first isolated the metal in 1867, from vanadium dichloride. It wasn't until 1925 that relatively pure vanadium was obtained--by reducing vanadium pentoxide with calcium metal.
Vanadium Pentoxide
Vanadium pentoxide is a yellowish-red powder. It forms when cooled from the molten state to form long red needles. It is slightly soluble in water.
This material is traditionally obtained in the production of iron. Titaniferous magnetite ore is partially reduced with coal, and then melted. The resulting product includes a slag, containing titanium, and pig iron, containing vanadium pentoxide. The pig iron is then blown with oxygen, and a new slag rich in vanadium pentoxide is obtained. This can be further processed to obtain forms of the compound in various purities.
Uranium production also provides vanadium pentoxide as a byproduct. A leachate is obtained in the early stage of production of uranium and vanadium from carnotite, which is then fed into a solvent, yielding a uranium compound and a separate raffinate containing the vanadium. A second solvent process and a soda ash solution with ammonium sulfate eventually yield vanadium pentoxide.
Other vanadium-bearing ores also yield significant amounts of the compound. Each of these traditional methods can yield a compound of somewhat better than 99.8% purity, but significantly better purity can only be obtained by atomically produced combinations.
Vanadium consumption is driven by its use as an alloy of steel. Strong steel production in recent years and a higher unit consumption in steel has seen the demand for vanadium grow by about 5% per annum. The threat of lower steel use in automobiles therefore represents a threat to vanadium consumption. The other major use of vanadium is as a catalyst in a variety of reactions, including the manufacture of sulphuric acid.
A potential use of the material is in automobiles, to improve exhaust emissions. The benefit of vanadium pentoxide in this area has been long known, but other technologies (eg., the platinum in catalytic converters) have been used instead.
If you believe you have a use for vanadium pentoxide, contact us. We will be happy to discuss and help you implement your application.

[+/-] : U.S. Antimony hikes 3Q'06 antimony products sales by 54% on year
United States Antimony Corporation (OTCBB:UAMY) said Monday that the sale of antimony products increased 54% to $780,917 during Q3 2006 compared to the same period in 2005.
耗资7亿的MTV成熟妖艳性感尤物
The gross profit on these sales was $230,256 and was due to higher sales prices and the processing of a legacy slag pile. The sale of zeolite products increased 50% to $384,527 during Q3 2006 compared to the same period in 2005. The zeolite sales resulted in a loss of $20,142 due to the high cost of fuel for electric generators and the lack of a grinding circuit to make fine-grained products.
A new grinding circuit capable of producing 20 tons per hour of fine-grained products and line electricity are currently being installed and should be on stream by Q1 2007. Average zeolite sales prices were increased from $89.34 per ton during Q3 2005 to $148.35 per ton during the same period in 2006.
The liquidity of the Company was improved by the conversion of a Convertible Debenture and interest worth $281,251 to USAC Common stock. The Debenture had been secured by 100% of the Bear River Zeolite Co., Inc. stock. The liquidity and profitability of the company was improved by the sale of certain marketing rights for the zeolite for $500,000 cash during Q4 2006. Additionally, the company anticipates the sale of certain idle mining claims for up to $300,000 during Q4 2006.
The Mexican antimony and silver operation is expected to be on stream by Q2 2007.
The value of the antimony is estimated to be equal to the silver.
The smelter has been completed, and the flotation mill is being prefabricated in Montana for shipment to Mexico. Permitting will begin for the startup of the mine and installation of the mill. The exploration, organizational expenses, and much of the minor capital expenditures for the Mexican project have been expensed, and this has adversely impacted the profitability of the Company.
The Bear River Zeolite and Mexican projects are expected to significantly increase sales of the Corporation by 2007.

[+/-] : Antimony market keeps firm
BEIJING (Asian Metal) 23 Jan 07 – Antimony market keeps firm with prices for high-quality antimony ingot standing at around RMB40,000-40,500/t(USD5,141-5,206/t) ex works, market sources reported to Asian Metal today.
Mariah Carey,It’s Like That “We will not sell below RMB41,000/t(USD5,270/t) ex works for our 99.85%min antimony ingot,” a Hunan-based producer said, adding that the domestic antimony ingot market keeps firm presently.
According to the source, although some suppliers can still sell standard grade-two antimony ingot at lower prices of around RMB40,000/t ex works, it is hard to purchase high-quality materials at prices below RMB40,500/t ex works. The source revealed that some major smelters in Hunan suspended quoting, claiming that they have no spot materials on hand.
A trader from Guangdong also reported that the domestic antimony ingot market has remained firm since last week. “Many smelters are holding on for better prices, and we have great difficulty replenishing stocks for the time being,” said the source.
The source confirmed that some major smelters are holding on for higher prices. Those who sold materials at around RMB40,000-40,500/t ex works last week plan to raise offers higher. “But I think the market has little chance to climb up further with the approaching of the Spring Festival. It is most likely to keep at current level in the following month,” the source added....

[+/-] : Two Factors Push the Antimony Up
key word) Antimony price, antimony market, antimony trioxide price, antimony triacetate price, sodium antimonate price
JIEFU Antimony based on oversea news: thanks to the increasing demand and the call off of VAT rebate, antimony price firm and strong. European market has risen from 5250-5350$/T of half a month ago to the current 5350-5450$/T.
Mr. Bean's Holiday 憨豆先生,03
Industrial people from home and abroad all think the rising in antimony price is caused by two factors, one is the increasing in buying, another is the call off of Chinese export VAT rebate. As compared with previous weeks, now the market is brisker with increasing demand. It is expected that more and more European buyers will go back to the market for stock building.
An american trader disclosed that the current antimony price for delivery at Baltimore warehouse has rised to 5550$/T, a bit higher than previous 5500$/T. Usually, antimony price of United States is higher than Rotterdam for the freight cost.
But he also said spot demand for antimony is not very much in United States, as most of the users have a certain amount of stock. The stock was built up during the third quarter when the price is lower.
At the same time, China domestic market also following the rising tendency, the latest quotaion given by chinese exporters has rised by 50-100$/T to 5400-5450$/T. But seldom transactions was reported.

specific gravity:6.68 ,melting point :630.5℃ ,boiling point :1590℃,crisp
and anti-corrupt character .
Antimony have been the important material for alloy which will increase rigidity so
it is also called hardener for both metal and alloy.In the beginning
antimony and antimony related material can be used as wearable alloy ,press letter alloy and ammunition industry .With technical development it is widely used as flame retardant which applied inporcelaine namel ,glass ,rubber ,dope ,pigment ,chinaware,plastic ,
semiconductor component ,firecracker,medication and chemcial products .
Main raw materials for antimony mineral smelting ,they are zinkenite,square antimony mine,
倒霉熊backkom搭车
antimonide and 10 kinds of antimony mineral materials. With abundant resource ,reserves ,
output (antimony refined ore and antimony metal ) export quantity ,China have played an
importat role in the world.
Antimony mineral material character
The average content of antimony is 0.5x10-6 or 0.2x10-6 in the lithosphere (Thaler ,1964)
0.62x10-6 (Litong ,1976).Antimony content is less than carat gram value in magma rock,
nearly to carat gram value in acidity rock;antimony assemble to mud rock in sediment rock ,
adhere in aluminium dust mine (1.9x10-6~2.3x10-6),phosphor ash rock (1.2x10-6),
black shale (300x10-6),coal (30x10-16) and coal ash (200x10-6).
There are more than 120 kinds of antimony mineral and related concentrated material in the
nature ,ther are 4 main forms ,viz,(1) Natural compound and metal interchanged material such as
natural antimony ,arsenic antimony mine.(2)sulphide and vitriol ,such as zinkenite,sulfur-copper-

Thereinto ,zinkenite mine is the most important mineral raw material.
Antimony Ore Classification : They should be classified as natural and industrial ore in the process of
geology reconnaissance.Natural antimony ore can be classified 3 kinds ,they are oxiden antimony ore ,
mixed antimony ore and original antimony ore .Accoridng to oxidation rate they should be classfied as :
oxiden ore >50%, mixed ore 30% -50% ,original ore <30% .
Indutrial Type of antimony ore
According to the ingredient property some of the antimony is single mineral bed ,the other more are more groups

[+/-] : JIEFU News:Asian stock markets take hit after plunges in China, US
Beijing - Chinese stocks rebounded Wednesday, but markets in the rest of Asia plunged a day after a dive at the Shanghai and Shenzhen markets reverberated to the United States and then back to Asia.

The lone exception to Wednesday's declines was the market that set off the shockwaves. Bargain hunting sent China's key Shanghai Composite Index up 3.94 per cent to 2,881.07, a day after it fell 8.8 per cent in its biggest one-day drop in 10 years.
The Shanghai and Shenzhen 300 Index, which tracks shares on both of China's yuan-denominated exchanges, rose 3.5 per cent to close at 2544.57, a day after a 9.2-per-cent fall.
But in Japan, the Nikkei 225 Stock Average plunged 2.85 per cent to close at 17,604.12, and the Topix index of all first-section issues saw an even larger percentage drop at 3.23 to 1,752.74.
Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index dove 2.46 per cent to 19,651.51, its largest fall since November, while India's Sensex index slid 4.01 per cent to 12,938.09 and South Korea's benchmark Kospi index slumped 2.56 per cent to 1,417.34.
The Philippines saw the biggest plunge of the day, shedding 7.92 per cent of its value, its biggest drop in nine years amid massive selloffs.
The 30-share Philippine Stock Exchange index lost 263.84 points to close at 3,067.45 as losers swamped gainers 159 to four.
'The selloffs in the US and China markets have caused worldwide jitters,' said Astro del Castillo, managing director at First Grade Holdings Inc.
The New Zealand Stock Exchange - the first in the world to open and close for the day - saw its benchmark index of its top 50 companies, the NZSX-50, fall 1.5 per cent to 4,037.12 while Australia's benchmark ASX200 tumbled 2.7 per cent to 5,832.
China's markets set off a global itch to sell that saw European stocks fall Tuesday before the US markets gave up all their gains for the year.
The blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 3.29 per cent to close at 12,216.24, the S&P 500 plunged 3.47 per cent to 1,399.04, and the technology-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index plummeted 3.86 per cent to 2,407.87.
Analysts in China blamed profit-taking, the inflated prices of many stocks and rumours over new government taxation policies for the turbulence on their market Tuesday.
'Although the market index was at a high level and people were expecting a correction, what happened was astonishing,' market analyst He Jun told the official China Daily.
Market rumours about a possible capital gains tax 'could have been a major trigger for such a plummet, promoting profit-taking,' the newspaper quoted He as saying.
But He added that Chinese stock markets were likely to continue to rise this year, following gains of 130 per cent in the Shanghai Composite Index last year.
Other analysts in China welcomed the plunge, saying it would help to reduce the effect of inflated share prices on the markets.
Castillo in the Philippines concurred, saying, 'This is definitely a good reality check, and for the Philippines' market, it's a major correction that we have been waiting for.'
Dong Chen, a senior analyst at CITIC China Securities, said investors were unlikely to be satisfied by annual corporate reports scheduled to be released by many Chinese companies.
'Their performance will provide no support for the high share prices,' Dong told the newspaper.
Tuesday's fall was 'a good thing because it will pave the way for a healthy market in the long run,' he said.
The price-to-earnings ratio of shares on China's yuan-denominated Shanghai and Shenzhen markets was roughly double that of the global average, indicating 'growing risks,' the newspaper quoted experts at Xiang Cai Securities as saying.
While Chinese stocks bounced back Wednesday, other markets took deep bites in morning trading before regaining some ground before the close.
Japan's Nikkei, for instance, lost more than 700 points in its morning session, its biggest drop since the 2001 terrorist attacks in New York and Washington, before closing at a 515.8-point loss. In New Zealand, the NZSX-50 was down more than 3 per cent before recovering half that amount at its close.
In New Zealand, prices of every stock but one fell during the morning, but analysts said institutional investors began buying after lunch after deciding the Chinese fall was an overdue correction.
Some market watchers said the corrections was likely to spark future gains.
In the Philippines, dealers expressed confidence that the plunge could lead to a fresh buying spree in the coming days amid renewed confidence in the country's economy.
Sarah Rubicon, an analyst with the brokerage Goldman Sachs JB Were in Sydney, said there was no panic in Australia, and buyers came back into the market later in the day to pick up stocks cheaply.
On other markets, Singapore's benchmark Straits Times Index fell 3.7 per cent to 3,111.9, the Stocks Exchange of Thailand Index fell 1 per cent to 672.13, the Jakarta Stock Exchange Composite Index closed down 1.3 per cent at 1,7408.971, and Pakistan's Karachi Stock Exchange 100 Index fell 1.38 per cent to 11,221.55.
