Price Trends - As of August 5, the prices for black tungsten concentrate, APT, and tungsten carbide powder have risen by 12%, 13%, and 14% respectively compared to early July, with current prices at 194,500 CNY/ton, 285,000 CNY/ton, and 422,500 CNY/ton [2]. - The long-term quotes for major manufacturers in early August include: Xiamen Tungsten Industry at 279,500 CNY/ton for APT, Zhangyuan Tungsten at 192,500 CNY/ton for black tungsten concentrate and 283,000 CNY/ton for APT, and Jiangxi Tungsten Group at 194,000 CNY/ton for black tungsten concentrate [2]. Market Dynamics - The current strong performance of tungsten prices is driven by three factors: the manufacturing sector is at a cyclical low, inventory levels among industries and traders are low, and external tungsten prices have been rising since June, reflecting a recovery in exports [3]. - The price gap between domestic and international tungsten prices has reached historical highs, indicating strong demand for domestic products as external markets recover [3]. Supply Situation - The long-term quotes from major manufacturers are close to market price announcements, indicating that the tight supply situation persists [4]. - The Bakuta tungsten mine in Kazakhstan has resumed normal shipments since May, with an average monthly output of around 800 tons. However, the domestic tungsten price remains strong, suggesting that local demand and supply constraints have effectively mitigated any potential market disruption from this new supply [5]. Investment Recommendations - Companies positioned at both ends of the tungsten industry chain are expected to benefit from the rising tungsten prices.
