BEIJING (Asian Metal) 15 Mar 24 - Despite the dim end market, considering the firm raw material prices, most producers keep prices unmoved this week. The current mainstream prices of Chinese green silicon carbide 98.5%min F240 Fe2O3 0.45%max free C 0.25%max stand at RMB14,000-14,500/t (USD1,946-2,015/t) EXW D/A 180 days, on par with early this week. Considering the firm green silicon carbide lump prices, insiders forecast that the Chinese green silicon carbide grain sand mainstream prices would keep stable in the upcoming week.
A producer in Sichuan states, "We quote RMB14,500/t (USD2,015/t) Inc-VAT EXW D/A 180 days for green silicon carbide 98.5%min F240 Fe2O3 0.35%max free C 0.25%max and could sell as low as RMB1,4400/t (USD2,001/t), on par with early this week." Their last deal dated back to early this week when they sold about 40t at RMB14,400/t (USD2,001/t). Due to the dim end market, most of their buyers only buy from hand to mouth, but given the firm green silicon carbide 10-30cm that they bought at RMB10,300/t (USD1,431/t) back in late November, they plan to hold prices unchanged and anticipate that the mainstream prices of Chinese green silicon carbide grain sand would keep steady in the coming week.
The producer, with an annual production capacity of 12,000t, expects to produce about 200t in March, while they only produced 100t in February. They are holding nearly 100t in stock at present.
Another producer in Shandong discloses, "We offer RMB14,000/t (USD1,946/t) Inc-VAT EXW D/A 180 days for green silicon carbide 98.2%min F240 Fe2O3 0.45%max free C 0.25%max and refuse any counteroffers, unmoved from early this week." They concluded their last deal about three days ago when they sold about 20t at RMB14,000/t (USD1,946/t) to a regular client. Although the buyers hold cautious attitudes because of the soft end market, given that the green silicon carbide lump they bought stand at RMB10,700/t (USD1,487/t) Delivered, they prefer to hold their prices and predict that the mainstream prices of Chinese green silicon carbide would stay stable in the upcoming week."
With an annual production capacity of 12,000t, the producer predicts to produce nearly 200t this month, in line with last month. They hold about only 80t in stocks at present.
