This week, Shandong miners quoted the 64-grade alkaline concentrate at 850 yuan/mt, up by 16 yuan/mt on a dry basis, ex-mine, pre-tax, and on acceptance terms. Steel mills followed suit with price adjustments. Most miners maintained normal production, and shipments improved WoW, with inventory declining. Steel mills showed strong purchasing enthusiasm, mostly maintaining long-term contract procurement, with inventory maintained at around 5 days.
