From late July, Chinese antimony ingot prices began to rebound after they hit the bottom
. Then in early August, the antimony ingot and antimony trioxide markets became active with prices edging up . However, affected by the summer break in the overseas market and domestic environmental inspections, demands for the materials were weak and transactions slacked off accordingly, making prices stabilized . As for the export market, export prices for antimony ingot and antimony trioxide were firm owing to the appreciation of RMB despite depressed demand . In late August, some antimony ingot suppliers began to reduce offers to promote sales due to sporadic spot deals . While antimony trioxide suppliers kept quotations stable as most producers just made delivery with few sales . Most market players stood on the sidelines; while supply for antimony ingot was still tight and antimony trioxide consumers may make replenishment in mid-September; therefore, prices for antimony ingot and antimony trioxide are expected to be flat from early-to-mid September but tend to be firm in late September with support from demand.
