Heading into the Spring Festival holiday, antimony trioxide prices appear to have stabilized around USD 10,000/MT (Sb203 99.65% FOB). But inventories, which have been piling-up due to persisting slow demand, particularly from Europe, are still putting downward pressure on prices.
Many Chinese antimony exporters stopped offering material prior to the holiday, citing government inspections, but efforts to support export prices will not likely lead to higher prices until orders begin increasing.
