Currently, ex-factory quotes from scattered production sites have largely risen to levels exceeding 2,700 yuan. However, on one hand, the volume of spot goods circulating at the source remains limited; on the other, the “firm-price” offers for the few available ex-factory lots have seen a marked increase. Given that the associated risks are relatively higher compared to transactions in consumer markets, actual deal-making at the production sites remains sparse, with the few concluded transactions primarily involving a slight premium added to institutional quotes.
