Vanadium prices dipped slightly to US$28 per kilogram, leaving investors wondering if vanadium’s recovery was over and if prices would ever return to their lofty pre-recession heights. A report from analysts at Roskill Information Services answers exactly.
Although vanadium prices have stabilized at US$30 per kilogram over the past three weeks, the metal still has a volatile price history ranging widely between US$11 and US$90 per kilogram over the past five years. With growing demand and a relatively tight supply, mining companies are searching for potential low-cost vanadium sites in Nevada.
