Last week, the domestic market for 97% fluorite concentrate powder witnessed intense bargaining. A downward trend has become evident in the northern market; although suppliers are reluctant to lower prices, downstream buyers are clearly pushing for price reductions. Meanwhile, the southern market remains in a stalemate. Although some high-priced orders previously guided transactions upward, downstream enterprises faced significant margin inversion earlier and find it difficult to accept high-priced raw materials, actively seeking supplementary sources from other regions. Current spot delivered prices in various domestic markets are referenced as follows: Inner Mongolia region at RMB 3,300–3,400/ton; Zhejiang region at RMB 3,600–3,700/ton; Jiangxi and Fujian regions at RMB 3,700–3,800/ton; Shandong region at RMB 3,550–3,650/ton; Northwest region at RMB 3,400–3,450/ton; Henan and Anhui regions at RMB 3,450–3,500/ton. As of press time, the mainstream delivered price for domestic wet fluorite powder is referenced at RMB 3,300–3,800/ton.
