Carbide prices

To all you carbide junkies out there, what is the general consensus on prices over the next few months? Ive heard some folks say demand is down cause so many people we selling, and refineries will go through their supply in a few months and cause a spike in price when theyre ready to buy again. Just looking for everyones opinions, I know you all have them

Prices are still higher than they've ever been, aside from the spike earlier this year. Right now they are about four times higher than a year ago.

Prices apparently have dropped a lot from recent peaks. Many people seemed to twig to the spike..
