[Ferro-Alloys.com] Late August saw a stable CaSi market with mainstream CaSi30 ex-work price stayed at RMB 9,000—9,100 per ton and CaSi28 RMB 8,800—8,900 per ton.

Operation situation of major CaSi producers were as follows: there were 12 sets of 30000KVA furnaces and 4 of them were running at the moment and the rest was either overhauled or shut down for decreasing demand.

The past days saw a fluctuating exchange rate of renminbi against US dollar. After drastic drops in mid-August and late-August, last Friday saw a notable bounce.

It was confirmed that export business still didn’t get resumed at Tianjin Port. Thus companies can’t offer quotation prices. An Anyang-based company considered to change port. Due to  unstable exchange rate and aftermath of Tianjin blast, the future FOB prices are hard to predict.
