據(jù)英國《金屬導(dǎo)報》報道：8月1日周五歐洲釩鐵價格繼續(xù)上漲，隨著西方國家進(jìn)一步對俄羅斯實(shí)施制裁，持續(xù)緊張的氣氛愈濃，投資人認(rèn)為市場多頭倉位增加。
Metal Bulletin's quotation ticked up to $24.70-25.60 per kg on Friday, from $24.60-25.30 on Wednesday, and most market participants expect further rises in the next few days.
外盤報價顯示，周五歐洲釩鐵價格自周三的24.60-25.30美元/千克上漲至24.70-25.60美元/千克。并且，大多數(shù)市場參與者認(rèn)為后期價格仍將繼續(xù)拉漲。
There are also continuing indications that a two tier market may be developing, as consumers are able to buy at consistently lower prices, while traders appear to be buying material at the top end of the quotation, and very little business has been concluded in the middle of the range.
有各種跡象表明，歐洲釩鐵市場正發(fā)生雙重變化。一方面，下游商家依舊能夠購買到低價貨源；另一方面，中間商以高價從市場充收購原料，但在報價區(qū)間范圍內(nèi)幾乎沒有實(shí)質(zhì)性的成交達(dá)成。
"It's looking strong - the demand is there and we don't see it coming off. " a trader said.
“市場看起來較為穩(wěn)固，因?yàn)?/span>需求是存在的，我們看不到行情有任何走低的跡象”，一位商家表示。
"Traders are thinking the market is going up and they're covering their short positions… When they realise they've bought too much, it will come down, but [right now], ferro-vanadium is substantially undervalued," he added.
“商家考慮提高產(chǎn)品售價，他們紛紛開始補(bǔ)倉。當(dāng)他們意識到他們已經(jīng)買了太多貨源，產(chǎn)品價格可能或走低。但現(xiàn)在釩鐵價格被嚴(yán)重低估”，他補(bǔ)充道。
There is also a possible shortage of material, according to the trader, as producers are out of the market, which could also help to support prices, although consumer business is rare.
"There's no consumer business any more, but traders are definitely trying to find material," a producer said. "There's definitely not much left below $25 [per kg], but there's not much above $25.50 yet. We don't have much to sell for August, though."
“市場不再有采購業(yè)務(wù)出現(xiàn)，但事實(shí)上交易商仍在試圖尋找材料“，生產(chǎn)商說。“市場沒剩下多少低于25美元/公斤的貨源，,但高于25.50美元/千克的成交也不多。盡管如此，8月份我們沒有多少庫存可銷售。”
The sanctions on Russia, arising from its involvement in the unrest in Ukraine, have affected sentiment for the most part, a second trader said, adding that he believes it is unlikely the country will cease exports - and even if it does, other supply is available.
由于俄羅斯?fàn)可鏋蹩颂m動亂，西方國家對其實(shí)施了嚴(yán)厲制裁，明顯影響了投資商的情緒，第二個商家表示,他相信俄羅斯不大可能會停止出口釩鐵。即便如此，其他市場仍能購買到可用的貨源。
"I'm continuing to keep an eye on Russia for ferro-titanium but less for ferro-vanadium. For ferro-vanadium, there's South Africa and China. I think China has more of an influence," he said.
“我繼續(xù)密切關(guān)注俄羅斯釩鐵行情的動態(tài)，但是沒有太多的變化。南非和中國都可以供應(yīng)釩鐵產(chǎn)品，但我認(rèn)為中國對歐洲市場的影響更大”，他說。
Chinese offer prices have reportedly been rising, which is likely to have a knock-on effect on the European price in coming weeks.
中國提供的釩鐵產(chǎn)品價格已經(jīng)上調(diào)，在未來幾周歐洲市場釩品價格可能會產(chǎn)生連鎖反應(yīng)。
