Overall rate of operation of Tungsten concentrate mine is still relatively lower, although part mine has already prepared to start working and recover production from the beginning of the month, suffering from the environment protection, supervision and other factors, the trading is very slow, supply of tungsten ore in tense situation is difficult to relieve. Suffering from the tense supply of raw material, cost of downstream smelting plant increases, and its demander does not accept much for the Tungsten products with price at a higher level, demand and purchase release slowly, so the overall conclusion in Tungsten market is still in a stalemate.    International prices of both Ferro Tungsten and APT rose, and supply of domestic Tungsten products is still tense and its concluded is still in a stalemate.
