In May 2026, fluorspar powder prices (>97% grade) snapped a four-month rally, edging slightly lower. Anhydrous hydrogen fluoride (AHF) prices rose initially before stabilising, supported by firmer fluorspar and sulphuric acid costs. R22 prices staged a modest recovery from the weakness seen in prior months. The aluminium fluoride market, meanwhile, rose early in the month before retreating, with the price centre shifting modestly lower.
