[Expressed by www.ferro-alloys.cn] It is reported that in late December, the cored wire market remains sluggish as a whole and the trend continues to be weak with no obvious fluctuation. The mainstream transaction price of metal crude calcium in Wenxi, Shanxi Province has risen up slightly from 14,800 per ton the last week to 15,000-15,300 yuan per ton. The insiders estimate that the price of seamless metal calcium wire will fluctuate in a few days probably, but the range will not be too large, will still be mainly stable. The prices of raw materials of cored wire such as calcium silicon alloy and cold rolled strip steel have stabilized on the whole after fluctuation. The later market of calcium silicon cored wire, nodulizer cored wire, solid pure calcium wire will be stable in operation.

At present, the mainstream transaction price of Ca28Si55∮13mm is 10,500 to 11,500 yuan per ton. Ca30Si58 is 11,800 to 12,300 yuan per ton. Seamless metal calcium wire (Ca98%min∮9mm) is 10,000 to 11,000 yuan per ton. Seamless metal calcium wire (Ca98%min∮10mm) is 15,000 to 16,000 yuan per ton. Pure calcium wire (Ca98%min∮9mm) is 9,600 to 10,000 yuan per ton. Ferro calcium cored wire (Ca30∮13mm) is 8,300 to 8,800 yuan per ton. Ferro-calcium cored wire (Ca30∮30mm) is 10,000 to 10,500 yuan per ton. Carbon wire (C98%∮13mm) is 5,500 to 5,800 yuan per ton. Silicon magnesium wire (Si40Mg28Re2∮13mm) is 11,500 to 12,500 yuan per ton. Nodulizer cored wire is 11,700 to 12,000 yuan per ton. Ca30 (natural block) is 10,000 to 10,100 yuan per ton, Ca30 (particle size 0-3mm) is 11,800 to 12,200 yuan per ton, Ca28 (natural block) is 12,000 to 12,300 yuan per ton. Cold rolled strip steel SPCC 0.35-0.45mm is 5,100 yuan per ton, SPCC 0.35*55 Q195 is 4,470 yuan per ton, SPCC0.35-0.39*55 is 4,500 yuan per ton, SPCC0.4-0.49*55 is 4,450 yuan per ton.

It is estimated that cored wire market will be still stable by the end of this year with no large price fluctuation on the whole.
