Aluminium fluoride prices inside China are on their way back down from their heady levels of 2007. Dry ALF3 can be bought for as low as RMB5,500, a far cry from RMB11,200 that we saw in June last year. In fact the prices have now managed to get back to 2006 levels.

The recently announced 15% tax on exports of the material is still being negotiated between buyers and sellers. But sellers are optimistic that the falling price will create some space for the tax to be folded into the pricing without causing too much pain to buyers.
