A brief overview of vanadium price developments, supply and demand and significant market movers.
European vanadium prices are up due to tighter availability and orders coming in ahead of the new year, according to data from Metal-Pages.
European vanadium pentoxide (fused-flake 98-percent min) is up 8.29 percent, between $5.30 and $5.80 a pound, compared to the November average of $5 to $5.25/lb.
In China, vanadium pentoxide (V205 98 percent) is up 1.19 percent to between 84,000 and 85,000 yuan per metric tonne (US$13,448 to $13,608). The November average was between 83,000 and 85,000 yuan per metric tonne (US$13,287 to $13,608).
At those prices, vanadium pentoxide compares to levels last seen in October 2011, when the metal was averaging $6.75 a pound in Europe and 82,000 yuan per metric tonne (US$13,127) in China.
