市場參與者表示,商家情緒低迷,對外走貨較消極,10月8日歐洲鉬鐵產品價格大幅下挫。
Metal Bulletin's quotation dropped to $23.90-24.70 per kg in-warehouse Rotterdam, from $25.50-26.45 per kg previously, as participants described a market almost in freefall.
報價顯示,周三歐洲鉬鐵產品港口報價由之前的25.50-26.45美元/千克下跌至23.90-24.70美元/千克。商家表示,產品價格幾乎處于直線下滑態勢。
Prices have now fallen below the levels at which the spectacular rally began at the end of March, and have dropped about 25% since the beginning of September. The latest move also marks a fall of 6% from Friday's quotation, or $1.60-1.75 in one go.
當前產品價格已經跌至本年3月份行情反彈之前的水平,較9月初下跌幅度達25%。并且,較上周五的報價下降6%,跌幅為1.60-1.76美元/千克。
From their 2014 peak in July, prices have dropped about 35%, and are now close to levels last seen in October 2013.
整體來看,鉬鐵價格從2014年7月份的峰值下降了約35%。但是,現在它已接近2013年10月的水平。
Molybdic oxide prices also fell, dropping to $9.40-9.60 per lb in-warehouse Rotterdam, and participants are already beginning to discuss the possibility that figures below $9 will emerge before long.
此外,氧化鉬價格也下跌至9.40-9.60美元/磅鉬。參與者已經開始討論不久將會出現低于9美元的可能性。
"There are one or two aggressive players and they're putting pressure on oxide, and pressure on ferro-molybdenum," a producer said.
“場內仍有少數活躍的參與者,但他們的鉬鐵、氧化鉬產品價格承壓較重”,生產商說。
There is now more scope for participants to go short, a trader said, as material for delivery at the end of October is being sold at the lowest prices.
有貿易商說,現在產品價格仍有繼續收窄的空間, 因為10月底交貨的原料以最低的價格出售。

"You've got a couple of weeks, and in those couple of weeks, you can hopefully get some cheaper material to cover," he said.
“最近幾周你有望可以購買到一些便宜的材料” ,他說。
"We're in a price range that's the lowest for this year. [The steel mills] are checking the prices maybe to buy larger quantities when the prices go lower."
“我們的價格區間為今年最低,當價格繼續走低時,(鋼鐵)可能大量購買。”
These levels are now the norm for the market, a second trader added, and buyers will soon be expecting to pay even less.
另一位商家說,目前價格是市場的主流水平,買家很快能夠購買到更廉價的貨源。
"I think the second and third quarter [when prices peaked above $37] were an aberration. That rise was never really going to be sustainable in a market like moly," he said.
“我認為第二和第三季度價格達到37美元以上是一種異?,F象。像鉬這樣的市場,產品價格從未真正持續上升” ,他說。
"When people are producing normally, there's much more supply than demand. Demand has tapered post summer and it's been quite uninspiring."
“當人們正常生產時候,供大于求就會出現。夏季需求淡季時相當令人沮喪。”
The sentiment in the market is now more or less uniformly negative on prices, as hopes for a turnaround disappear.
需求旺季的希望消失后,現在市場商家的消極情緒或多或少的對價格產生了不利影響,
"No one has anything remotely bullish or optimistic to say now. It's patently obvious that there's a sea change in how people are presenting themselves," the second trader said.
“現在沒有任何人敢說長期看漲或樂觀。明顯可以看到,人們的處境將會發生何種變化”,第二個商家說。
