Novel coronavirus pneumonia outbreak in South Africa will be adjusted from May 1st onwards, according to South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, who made a national television speech on the evening of April 23rd. The fourth level “lockdown order” will be implemented and means that some activity can be allowed to resume subject to extreme precautions required to limit community transmission and outbreaks. The main vanadium plants in South Africa will gradually return to normal production, thus the supply of vanadium in the international market will be relatively relaxed, and the European market will lose the support of supply concerns, and it is expected that the trend will be weak in the later market.
