en.Wedoany.com Reported - In the week following the holiday, the domestic 97% grade fluorite powder market continued its weak trend, with factory delivery prices edging slightly lower. The mainstream transaction range remained at 3,200 to 3,500 yuan per tonne, with significant price differences persisting among various production areas, reflecting an imbalanced regional supply-demand structure.
Recently, the uptick in hydrofluoric acid prices briefly boosted market sentiment for fluorite powder, but the actual support was limited. Meanwhile, the progress of mine resumption in Zhejiang has been slower than expected, keeping local fluorite powder inventories at relatively low levels, which to some extent curbed a rapid price decline.
However, the localized support from delayed mine resumptions is insufficient to reverse the overall loose supply situation. Currently, fluorite powder supply is ample in most production areas, with holders showing strong willingness to sell. On the downstream demand side, buyers are mostly adopting a wait-and-see attitude, resulting in a sluggish atmosphere for spot transactions.
Industry insiders indicate that while the slow mine resumption and low inventories in Zhejiang provide temporary support for the market, the weak tone of the fluorite powder market is unlikely to change in the short term against a backdrop of lackluster demand. It is expected that in the coming period, the market will mainly undergo narrow-range consolidation, accompanied by a possibility of slight downward drift.
In terms of market sentiment, most industry participants hold a cautious and bearish view on the future fluorite powder market. Although the delayed mine resumption in Zhejiang has led to tight spot circulation in that region, the nationwide supply surplus has strengthened buyers' bargaining power, leading to an increase in price-suppressing procurement.
