Antimony trioxide prices have risen by around $300/tonne, or between 5-10%, over the last week, as shortages of antimony ore are started to affect the market.

Several antimony metal and antimony trioxide operations have now stopped production, which has pushed the antimony ingot price up by RMB 2,000/tonne ($293/tonne).

Export prices for antimony ingots are now $6,100-6,200/tonne for 99.65% min, FOB China.
