III. Conclusion on Trend Direction
The price trend is oscillating. Reason: The change directions of the three moving averages (5-day, 10-day, and 20-day) are not entirely consistent with the previous day, meeting the criteria for an oscillating market; combined with the fundamentals, smelters are reluctant to sell due to cost inversion, and there is an expectation of early stockpiling for the peak season, leading to a stabilizing oscillating trend.
IV. Positional Spatial Reference
Antimony 1-year cycle price is at a low position, within the lowest 20% range of the cycle, with limited downside potential and strong resistance to further decline.

Six, Fundamental Dynamics
Recently, the price of antimony in China has continued to recover. From August 19 to 24, the average price of grade 1 antimony ingots increased from 96,000 CNY/ton to 98,500 CNY/ton, a cumulative increase of 2,500 CNY/ton; the average price of grade 0 antimony ingots increased from 98,000 CNY/ton to 100,500 CNY/ton, a cumulative increase of 2,500 CNY/ton; the average price of 50% antimony concentrate remained at 83,000 CNY/ton. The key driving factors are the smelters' cost inversion and their reluctance to sell, coupled with the expectation of early stockpiling by downstream buyers for the peak season. Subsequently, it is necessary to continuously monitor the release of overseas antimony oxide production capacity and the situation of China's export orders.
