Material in the spot market has been comparatively scarce, market participants said, as at least some producers have reported that they have sold out for the year, while demand has continued to be solid.
市場參與者稱，原料現(xiàn)貨市場一直處于較為緊缺的狀況，較多生產(chǎn)商本年的庫存已經(jīng)售罄，而需求繼續(xù)保持穩(wěn)固。
This has led to a relatively stable price level in recent days, although there are still signs that higher prices could yet be on the cards.
以上有利因素將促使近幾天釩鐵產(chǎn)品價格處于相對穩(wěn)固的水平，盡管有跡象表明，近期產(chǎn)品價格仍有可能出現(xiàn)新的高位。
One deal was reportedly concluded below $25 per kg on Wednesday, but most business was comfortably above this level, pushing Metal Bulletin’s quotation up to $25-25.40 per kg.
周三，場內(nèi)出現(xiàn)25美元/千克以下的低位成交現(xiàn)象，但是，大多數(shù)訂單的成交價格都處于該水平以上，推動產(chǎn)品報價上升至25-25.4美元/千克。
“There have been smaller quantities closer to $26 per kg – maybe $25.80-25.90 for 1-5 tonnes,” a trader said.
“市場中散貨成交價格接近26美元/千克，1-5噸左右的訂單成交價格可能達(dá)到25.8-25.9美元/千克”，某貿(mào)易商說。
There are at least three enquiries still in the market, a distributor added, including one full truckload.
市場上至少仍然有三個詢盤的價格出現(xiàn)高位，經(jīng)銷商說，其中包括一個批量的訂單。
“I think it’s pretty stable. It’s been like this for the last ten days. It will be very interesting to see where [the three enquiries] go,” he said.
“我認(rèn)為市場相當(dāng)穩(wěn)固，最近十幾天表現(xiàn)的較為明顯。商家對以上三個詢盤的結(jié)果表示關(guān)注”，他說。
It is possible, furthermore, that some consumers will look to buy now to meet their January requirements in an attempt to avoid the usual price rises in the New Year.
此外，當(dāng)前部分下游商家商很有可能為1月份的訂單而入市采購，試圖避免傳統(tǒng)上新年前后的價格上漲階段。
A producer added that there have been indications from China at $27 per kg, although it is not clear when or if this price level will filter through to the European market.
一位生產(chǎn)補(bǔ)充說，有跡象表面，中國釩鐵價格處于27美元/千克的高位，經(jīng)過還不清楚該價格水平何時以及是否會滲透到歐洲市場。
“I don’t know if we will see material from China being exported. It’s difficult – I don’t have much material to sell,” he said.
“我不知道中國市場出口的原料是否會出現(xiàn)在歐洲市場。目前的情況比較困難，因為當(dāng)前我已沒有太多原料出售了”，他說。
