April 20 — On April 14, 2026, relevant U.S. enterprises officially submitted documents to the U.S. Department of Commerce and the U.S. International Trade Commission, withdrawing their previous application for anti-dumping and countervailing investigations against lithium hexafluorophosphate produced in China. This marks the first case in nearly 20 years where a U.S. "dual anti" investigation targeting Chinese products concluded with a complete victory for China before the investigation was formally initiated.

Chempricehub Analysis of Fluorite, Bull-Bear Score: 1.5
The U.S. withdrawal of the anti-dumping and countervailing investigation application against Chinese lithium hexafluorophosphate reduces trade barriers, benefiting China's lithium hexafluorophosphate exports and production expansion. As an upstream raw material, fluorite demand is expected to increase, potentially driving up spot prices. Score: 1.5 (moderately bullish) due to reduced uncertainty from the event, though actual demand realization requires monitoring.
