Although the operating rate of antimony ingot suppliers was still low, in early November, antimony ingot prices in China reduced by RMB500/t (USD72.49/t) from late October owing to the soft demand and suppliers' capital pressure; consumers made small volume purchases on rigid demand . In mid-November, most market participants still took a wait-and-see attitude . Considering the environmental protection inspection review and consumers' concentrated replenishment in late November, the price remained stable. In Late November, most suppliers were unconfident and further reduced prices by RMB500/t (USD72.49/t) to encourage selling . By November 30, supported by the purchase cost of antimony concentrate, antimony ingot prices kept flat.
