Material in the spot market has been comparatively scarce, market participants said, as at least some producers have reported that they have sold out for the year, while demand has continued to be solid.
市场参与者称，原料现货市场一直处于较为紧缺的状况，较多生产商本年的库存已经售罄，而需求继续保持稳固。
This has led to a relatively stable price level in recent days, although there are still signs that higher prices could yet be on the cards.
以上有利因素将促使近几天钒铁产品价格处于相对稳固的水平，尽管有迹象表明，近期产品价格仍有可能出现新的高位。
One deal was reportedly concluded below $25 per kg on Wednesday, but most business was comfortably above this level, pushing Metal Bulletin’s quotation up to $25-25.40 per kg.
周三，场内出现25美元/千克以下的低位成交现象，但是，大多数订单的成交价格都处于该水平以上，推动产品报价上升至25-25.4美元/千克。
“There have been smaller quantities closer to $26 per kg – maybe $25.80-25.90 for 1-5 tonnes,” a trader said.
“市场中散货成交价格接近26美元/千克，1-5吨左右的订单成交价格可能达到25.8-25.9美元/千克”，某贸易商说。
There are at least three enquiries still in the market, a distributor added, including one full truckload.
市场上至少仍然有三个询盘的价格出现高位，经销商说，其中包括一个批量的订单。
“I think it’s pretty stable. It’s been like this for the last ten days. It will be very interesting to see where [the three enquiries] go,” he said.
“我认为市场相当稳固，最近十几天表现的较为明显。商家对以上三个询盘的结果表示关注”，他说。
It is possible, furthermore, that some consumers will look to buy now to meet their January requirements in an attempt to avoid the usual price rises in the New Year.
此外，当前部分下游商家商很有可能为1月份的订单而入市采购，试图避免传统上新年前后的价格上涨阶段。
A producer added that there have been indications from China at $27 per kg, although it is not clear when or if this price level will filter through to the European market.
一位生产补充说，有迹象表面，中国钒铁价格处于27美元/千克的高位，经过还不清楚该价格水平何时以及是否会渗透到欧洲市场。
“I don’t know if we will see material from China being exported. It’s difficult – I don’t have much material to sell,” he said.
“我不知道中国市场出口的原料是否会出现在欧洲市场。目前的情况比较困难，因为当前我已没有太多原料出售了”，他说。
