Market Forecast:

Weak demands indicate that the ore prices are unlikely to climb in the short term. With the implement of newly-published environmental protection laws and regulations, ore manufacturers will face producing cost increase in the near future and the second half of 2014 will be a vital period for small and medium-sized manufacturers to survive.
