Proposal to discontinue Chinese selenium dioxide price

Selenium dioxide is mostly used in the electrolytic manganese flake industry in China, but in the past two years consumers have turned increasingly to the overseas market for their cargoes. Consequently, domestically traded volumes in China have dropped significantly. Due to the fall in liquidity of spot-basis selenium dioxide sales, Metal Bulletin considers it appropriate to propose the discontinuation of its Chinese domestic selenium dioxide price.  The consultation period for the discontinuation of this price will end one month from the date of this pricing notice, on September 14. Subject to the results of the consultation, changes will take place on September 21, 2018.
