Ferrovanadium FeV50 is an important vanadium alloy used in high-strength low-alloy steels, structural steels and other vanadium-containing grades. Steel mills and alloy consumers closely track its price to manage alloy costs and plan purchasing strategies.
The latest market data show that Ferrovanadium FeV50 transaction prices have edged slightly lower, while mainstream quotations remain unchanged. All prices below are expressed in CNY 10,000/ton (acceptance with tax).
Price Snapshot

Market Brief
The current FeV50 market can be summarized as soft transactions and firm quotations:
- Transactions dipping slightly:
Steel mills and traders are pushing for better prices amid cautious sentiment in the steel market. As a result, the main transaction band has slipped by 0.05 CNY 10,000/ton, from the previous level down to 8.5–8.6 CNY 10,000/ton.
- Quotations unchanged:
Despite softer deals, most major suppliers have kept their offer range at 8.7–8.8 CNY 10,000/ton, citing raw material and production costs as key reasons to hold line on official quotations.
- Demand tone:
Downstream steel mills remain active but cautious. Orders are mainly focused on regular consumption and contract volumes, with limited appetite for large speculative restocking. Alloy buyers are paying closer attention to cash flow and inventory levels, which strengthens their price bargaining.
- Cost support:
Producers point out that vanadium-bearing raw materials, energy and operating costs still provide significant cost support, limiting the room for deep price cuts. This is why quotations have not followed transaction prices down-at least not yet.
In short, FeV50 is trading in a slightly weaker but still range-bound environment.
Short-Term Outlook
In the short term, FeV50 prices are likely to:
- Continue showing minor downward adjustments on individual transactions;
- Stay broadly within the current quotation band of 8.7–8.8 CNY 10,000/ton unless there is a stronger shock from steel demand or vanadium raw materials;
- Offer negotiation opportunities for mills with larger or more regular volumes.
Buyers with flexible delivery schedules may be able to secure better transaction prices within the current band by negotiating on volume and payment terms.
