Chinese bismuth ingot prices increased and then dropped in April. Affected by environmental inspection, some Chinese bismuth ingot smelters suspended production for equipment rectification, so the operating rate hovered at low levels; as a result, producers and suppliers lifted bismuth ingot prices and prices for the material climbed up quickly to RMB74,000-76,000/t (USD10,720-11,010/t) VAT included ex works; downstream demand was weak and consumers purchased with small volumes, so bismuth ingot prices in the market edged down to RMB72,000-74,000/t (USD10,432-10,720/t) VAT included ex works in mid-to-late April with sparse deals.
