Fastmarkets germanium dioxide, in-whs China, $/kg price to be discontinued from 2025

Fastmarkets wishes to remind subscribers that its price assessment for MB-GER-0001 germanium dioxide, in-whs China, $ per kg, will be discontinued at the end of this year. Fastmarkets will publish its last assessment of this market on December 27, 2024.

The price to be discontinued will be replaced by two already-published weekly price assessments. One of these assesses the China market on an in-warehouse China basis, in yuan per kg, and the other assesses the international market, on an in-whs Rotterdam basis, in $ per kg.

These prices can be found via the links included here:
MB-GER-0006-Germanium dioxide, in-whs China, yuan per kg
MB-GER-0005 Germanium dioxide, in-whs Rotterdam, $ per kg

These prices were introduced in May 2024, to respond to market developments and a separation that emerged between the Chinese and international markets in light of China’s export controls on germanium metal and oxide, which came into effect on August 1 last year.

The price to be discontinued can be found at this link:
MB-GER-0001 Germanium dioxide, in-whs China, $ per kg
