Prices for fluorspar have continued to experience tight supply since the start of the year. Prices now up over 20% from $250/tonne FOB previously to a reported $305-310/tonne FOB China in March, with latest offers in the range of $320/tonne FOB. This translates into a landed Rotterdam price of $400/tonne CIF. Industry participants expect prices to increase to $350/FOB later this year.
