Why Has the Certified Tellurium Price Been Falling Recently
From the perspective of the supply side, many tellurium plants began to reduce inventories or even liquidate stocks near the end of the year. On the one hand, many copper plants have reduced inventory realization indicators at the end of the year; on the other hand, due to the expansion of copper plant output, tellurium and other associated products inventory also has an increase trend.
Market supply of Tellurium metals increased pressure from the source, including some trading enterprises also have shipped out some Te materials.
From the perspective of demand, the purchasing enthusiasm of end users and purchasing agents also decreased significantly at the end of this year. On the one hand, the stock of PV and other end buyers has been significantly reduced from the recent order situation. In this case, buyers is entering a long-term wait and see phase. In addition to the users who need urgently, other buyers have no interest in hoarding goods, and speculative funds are not interested.
Many sellers also said that the transaction is difficult recently. The pattern of oversupply in the market is obvious, and the trend of tellurium price decline is inevitable.
There is still a good chance that tellurium price will continue to fall as a result of both supply and demand. Up to now, the average price of 99.99% (4N) tellurium ingots is around US $90 per kg here.
