Europe: Sb prices steady at 5-month high

摘要

Antimony prices have held on to their recent gains, under- pinned by higher prices in China where concentrate supply is tightening because of lockdown measures in the region. But widespread economic uncertainty and escalation of lockdowns across Europe have weighed heavily on market activity across the electronic metals. Prices for bismuth, gallium, germanium, indium, selenium and tellurium are all unchanged. Much will now depend on the pace of this year's negotiations for long-term supply contracts.
