Chinese tantalum and niobium market kept dull, and the trading volume was small in December
. The Chinese and overseas customers were still inactive in making deals, and held unfavorable attitudes towards the future market because the demand from the downstream markets continued to be weak . Tantalum concentrate import prices went down continuously as the downstream customers are cautious in adding stocks, but the downstream customers were unwilling to add stocks and only purchase from hand to mouth . Furthermore, the trading volume is small in the spot market . Moreover, the niobium concentrate prices also went down slightly in China . Owing to the Chinese Spring Festival holiday, it is likely for the tantalum and niobium market to be quiet in the following two months.
