Although Panzhihua reproduces piece of vanadium, and its offer rises but there is no inventory, and Ferro Vanadium and Chengde Steel does not have Ferro Vanadium and vanadium-nitrogen alloy in stock, and does not give a offer. Enquires in the market is relatively active, but the supply of goods has reduced, and enterprises holding products raises their selling price and the buyers are difficult to purchases at low price; increase of trading volume is not obvious.
