Due to the weak demand, germanium metal 99.99%min prices went down continuously in the Q1 in 2012. Prices stayed at RMB8,800-8,900/kg (USD1,410-1,442/kg) in the early of January and then decreased to RMB8,000-8,200/kg (USD1,282-1,314/kg) at the end of March. The total downward range was RMB800/kg (USD128/kg). Consumers lacked enthusiasm to make purchase in the spot market and adopted hand-to-mouth strategy. Few deals were concluded and producers who were under pressure to move materials had to lower their quotations.
