Due to tight supply for antimony concentrate, prices for upstream and downstream products rose continuously in the Chinese antimony market in September with suppliers consecutively raising offers
. Prices in the overseas market also presented an upward trend affected by rises in prices for antimony ingot and antimony trioxide in the Chinese market . In mid and late September, some antimony ingot suppliers intended to go on lifting offers but confronted with resistance from downstream consumers who showed reluctance to purchases; therefore, antimony ingot prices began to soften with less transactions concluded . As the market saw no obvious improvement in demand and rises merely in costs were not enough to pull up antimony ingot prices, it will be difficult for prices to rise further in the future.
