On February 18, Mr. Kohei Yamada, General Manager of Sales department in Advanced Material Japan Corporation visited Asian Metal, and discussed Bismuth and Selenium market movements with Susan Yin, Victor Hu, senior analysts and Frank Chen, market analyst of Asian Metal.

Mr. Kohei Yamada discussed the recent bismuth market trend with Susan Yin and Victor Hu, senior analysts in Asian Metal. Mr. Yamada claimed that the demand for bismuth metal in Japan is weak now and they are exploring European market. He noted that due to the sharp price rise in China, European bismuth ingot price is increasing. Currently, the mainstream price for bismuth ingot in Europe is around USD10.0/lb in warehouse Rotterdam.

Afterwards, Mr. Yamada talked with Frank Chen about the recent selenium market performance. He noted that Chinese selenium prices have rebounded rapidly since January, after decreasing largely 2013. And driven by the price increase in China, Japanese selenium prices also showed uptrend recently.
