According to the pricing increasing of raw materials, the sales price of tungsten carbide increased several times during this year, with rate of 10-15% each time, even some special product’s price increased more than 30%.
The global metals industry outlook has changed from ‘positive’ to ‘stable’, coz despite most metals prices exceeding historical marks, that doesn’t mean they will improve from current levels. The high current price levels are expected to fade despite expected high overall demand for metals and mining throughout the period. We think most base metals prices showing signs of steadying in 2022 after reaching historical peaks this year.
