The Chinese tantalum and niobium market was weak during December of 2015
. Most smelters received few new orders as market demand from end users remained sluggish and only arranged production based on long-term contracts . Meanwhile, affected by the rainy season in Africa, the tantalum concentrate output in some regions witnessed a decline, resulting in tight spot supply . Meanwhile, major miners stopped making transactions at low prices and took wait-and-see attitudes, waiting for the recovery of demand . As a result, the Chinese tantalum-niobium concentrate market was relatively steady during this month and may see a small rise in quotations after the New Year’s Day.
