Vanadium Weekly Review During 24-28 July, 2023

www.ferroalloynet.com: Vanadium market is going with steady this week. Firstly, the overall market price was stable in the early week with the new round of steel bidding although it also was declining a bit. Then cheered by the positive macro policy on real estate, V2O5 flake market prices rebounded a bit and companies also become encouraged which also pushed the market. And cheered by the positive macro policy and active steel bidding in the early August, it is forecasted that the overall vanadium market next week will strengthen a bit.

2. China vanadium market overview

Ammonium metavanadate market

This week, ammonium metavanadate market stays stable with the price standing at 100,000-101,000 CNY/T by cash with tax. Recently there is not any positive or negative news for the market. As far as downstream buyers are concerned, it is not easy to purchase ammonium metavanadate at low prices but have to get goods at high prices, and the market trading atmosphere is normal.

V2O5 Market

The market for V2O5 flake also stands still with the price at105,500-106,000 CNY/T by cash with tax. At the beginning of the week, the recruitment of vanadium nitrogen alloy from steel mills was stable although it was still weak, and the support of terminal alloys was weakened. Affected by this, the intended purchase price of VN alloy factories decreased, and the transaction price fell by 500 CNY/T. In the middle of the week, as the alloy market remained stable and inquiries from traders increased, some V2O5 flake producers insisted the quotations, which made the price returning to the level at the beginning of the week.

Ferro-Vanadium Market

The ferrovanadium market also goes flat this week with the mainstream prices at 114,00-116,000 CNY/T by acceptance with tax. The key reason for this price steady is that the raw materials market is relatively going stable. And on the other hand, there is no obvious benefit on the demand side, and the push up of ferrovanadium prices is a little weak. However, the producers also would not like to reduce the prices which put the market into the dilemma.

Vanadium Nitrogen Market

This week, the vanadium nitride alloy market doesn’t get any improvement with the prices edging down to 161,000-163,000 CNY/T by cash with tax, a small drop of 1,000 CNY/T a week. A new round of steel bidding kicked off at the beginning of the week while steel mills still purchased at low prices. In the middle of the week, the positive macro policy on the newest round of optimization in China’s real estate policy was expected to inject fresh energy into economic recovery, coupled with the quotations of V2O5 flake rebounded slightly, the confidence of vanadium enterprises was boosted. And the quotations of VN alloy factories became firmer, the low-priced resources decreased, and the market atmosphere became stronger.

3. Vanadium worldwide market review

On July 26, European ferrovanadium price was 31.6-33.01 (up 0.35) USD/Kg V, equivalent to the price of ferrovanadium50 about 112,700-117,700 CNY/Ton; European vanadium pentoxide was 7.5-8.76 USD/Lb, equivalent to vanadium pentoxide98% about 115,500-134,900 CNY/Ton; U.S. ferrovanadium was 16-16.5 USD/Lb V, equivalent to the price of ferrovanadium50 about 125,800-129,700 CNY/Ton.

4. Forecast on next week

FerroAlloyNet is expected that the overall vanadium market next week may edge up slightly. It is expected that the new round of steel bidding in the early month may become active and the raw material cost may stay firm as Tranvic mentioned that they may insist the long-term order price at 108,000 CNY/T delivery by A/P and 106,500 by cash with tax. With this strong cost, the overall quotation from VN alloy may not reduce and which put the steel bidding to be hard to go with lower prices. However, the overall supply remains to be overdue at present which makes the overall price may not get dramatically growth.
