“There have been some suggestions that [the price is] creeping towards $26, and there’s not much Chinese material available either,” a producer said.
“有迹象表明，钒铁价格正缓慢逼近26美元/千克，中国市场现货原料资源也较为有限”，一位生产商称。
“In some ways, it’s similar to this time last year. We had those increases in Chinese prices and then they fed through to Europe,” he added.
“在某种程度上，这种情况与去年同期很相似。我们提高了中国市场产品价格，然后传导到了欧洲市场”，他补充说。
Prices are not necessarily showing the same tendency to rise rapidly and sharply as they did at the end of 2012, but appear to be maintaining their strength into the year end, market participants said.
产品价格不一定会表现出2012年底相同的大幅上升迅速的趋势,但其上涨趋势似乎可以保持到年底,市场参与者认为。
“Ferro-vanadium is stronger for sure. I sold a small parcel [at a higher price] and I think it’s a sign that there’s less material available in the market,” a distributor said.
“钒铁行情的确更加强劲，我以较高的价格出售了一小包货，我认为这是市场原料资源减少的信号”，消息人士称。
“It could also be that people are trying to get material in before January. Based on historical data, January and February are strong months,” he added.
“也有可能是,人们试图在1月份之前采购材料补充库存。基于历史数据来看,今年1月和2月是强劲的”，他补充道。
There is still some optimism in the market, he said, and it appears at least some buyers are expecting further price rises, as they look to fulfil their requirements before the New Year.
市场中仍有一些商家保持乐观情绪,他说,至少可以看出部分买家期待价格进一步上升,因为他们倾向于在新年之前完成采购需求。
“The market is much more active now than it has been in the last 10-15 days. The demand is there,” a producer said.
“当前市场比过去10 - 15天更加活跃。需求依然是存在的”，生产商说。
