Fluorspar spot prices rise in Europe

摘要

European fluorspar spot prices jumped in mid-June as producers outside China finally caught up with the sharp price spike in the worlds largest producing country. Following widespread shutdown of production in China due to strict anti-pollution inspections carried out since late February 2017, Chinese fluorspar spot prices have spiked to a four-year high. To put that into context, prior to February, fluorspar prices hovered around five-year lows as supply far outstripped demand.
