Analysis of Latest Tungsten Market from Chinatungsten Online
Tungsten prices are on an upward trend, primarily driven by a new round of price increases from major tungsten companies.

However, actual market transactions are still driven primarily by demand, and the sustainability of the strong market requires broader support from the consumer side.
