SMM News, July 22: According to official information, a tender for the sale of a batch of crude selenium issued by a northern manufacturer was successfully concluded, with the final transaction price at around 142 yuan per kilogram. Market participants stated that the dibasic selenium market has softened recently, while trading of selenium powder remains steady.

SMM July 22 News: According to official sources, a tender project for selling a batch of crude selenium at a northern factory was successfully concluded, with the transaction price reaching around 142 yuan/kg.

The end-user side may only engage in large-scale purchasing and stockpiling in September, therefore, the overall selenium market price has entered a quiet period. However, judging from the recent sales results of crude selenium by manufacturers, crude selenium prices are currently showing signs of rise, and the future price trend remains to be observed.

It is reported that a major manufacturer in Northwest China has recently completed its tender for crude‑selenium successfully. Official sources indicate the final deal price stands at roughly 135 yuan per kilogram, and the enterprise is unlikely to launch further tenders for selenium‑related products for the time being.
