• Resumen

  • Readers of Industrial Minerals should be familiar by now with the escalation of constraints affecting the supply side of the minerals market in China, which produces and exports several key refractory materials such as magnesia, graphite, bauxite and alumina. [...]it continues to be a cause of concern, as well as annoyance, for local operators. Several producers outside China claimed to have contracted almost all of their material for the first and second quarters of this year, leaving only small volumes available for spot trading.Industrial Minerals assessed the price of European CCM, agricultural grade, at €250-350 ($308-431) per tonne cif Europe in early March, and the high-grade FM price at $1,500-1,700 per tonne fob Europe.
