Ferro-vanadium prices have shown signs of rising in recent days, as availability weakens and demand picks up.
由于市場現貨資源減少以及需求狀況好轉，近日歐洲釩鐵價格釋放出拉漲的信號。
Metal Bulletin’s European quotation rose to $24.50-25 per kg on Friday November 8, overcoming fears that it could drop below $23.
根據英國《金屬導報》報價顯示，11月8日周五歐洲釩鐵價格上漲至24.5-25元/千克，消除了前期商家對釩鐵價格可能下跌至23美元/千克以下的擔憂。
Market participants are now suggesting prices could break through $25 per kg in the coming days, and that for quantities
below 10 tonnes, they already have.
目前，市場參與者認為后期釩鐵價格可能突破25美元/千克，并且場內10噸以下的散貨成交價格已經實現了該價格水平。
“Producers have been offering above $25, and I know there are some who don’t have any spot material for sale,” a distributor
said.
“生產商對外報價維持在25美元/千克以上，據我了解，市場中許多商家已經沒有庫存對外出售”，消息人士稱。
“When it goes up like it did a few days ago, people start getting nervous .Yesterday was quiet and people are getting ready
for [Metal Bulletin’s international ferro-alloys conference] in Barcelona,” he added.
“當產品價格像幾天前一樣攀升時,人們就開始變得緊張起來。昨天市場較為安靜,商家都在準備金屬通報在巴塞羅那的國際鐵合金會議”,他補充說。
There is concern, furthermore, over whether any continued rise in prices will be sustainable in the long-term, after ferro-vanadium prices touched $33 per kg earlier in the year, before dropping back to $24, a producer said.
此外，一位生產商表示，當本年釩鐵價格接近33美元/千克之后，以及回落至24美元/千克之前，場內商家擔憂后期產品價格上漲時候能否持續。
“[The uptick] must be sustainable. From our position now, we can support it because there’s no material for November or
December delivery,” he said.
““這種(上升)趨勢必須是可持續的。從我們現在的角度來看，我們堅決挺價,因為11-12月沒有庫存可以完成交貨,”他說。
“We will see what people are doing at the conference,” he added.
“我們會關注商家在會議上的動態“，他補充道。
For now at least, however, prices are still going up, a trader said.
然而，至少現在釩鐵價格依舊保持上漲，一位貿易商說。
“Maybe you can still find something below $25, but you would have to look for it,” he said.
“也許你仍然可以尋得一些低于25美元/千克的相對廉價貨源，但是你不得不付出較大精力去尋找”，他說。
