OVERVIEW
During 2019, with the escalation of the China-U.S. trade friction, markets of indium, bismuth, germanium and gallium witness limited transactions and market participants hold strong wait-and-see attitudes. As time goes by, "Fanya" event comes to an end, it is expected that the markets would be back to the track! Markets kept quiet for the past five years, and where is the future going? Fanya's indium, bismuth, germanium and gallium stocks would be sold or not? How will the edownstream industries such as 5G, optical fiber and LCD panels change in 2020? Will 2020 be a year of market improvement? Insiders are in urgent need of a professional platform for communication.
