INTERNATIONAL TUNGSTEN INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION

Information on tungsten: sources, properties and uses

Pricing

In recent years, trade in concentrates has diminished and the market has relied more and more upon the APT quotation as a price guide since APT is the product traded in the largest quantity. Industry prices are mainly based on the quotations published twice a week by London’s "Metal Bulletin", although other trade journals also publish quotations or indicative prices.

 

This graph is based on the quotations published by "Metal Bulletin" to which acknowledgement is due.  The US APT quotation (stu) and the FeW quotation have been converted to mtu of WO₃ to facilitate price comparisons and the annual averages have been calculated by ITIA.

Notes:

• A metric ton unit (mtu) is 10kg
• A metric ton unit of tungsten trioxide (WO₃) contains 7.93kgs of tungsten
• A short ton unit (stu) is 20 pounds
