I don’t understand why investors would be attracted to invest in “physical vanadium” while vanadium products (unlike gold, silver, palladium, platinum, etc) are not traded by means of an exchange such as LME or NYMEX. Prices for FeV / V2O5 are usually negotiated in secret between producers and consumers and quoted via research / interview by metal consultants (such as Metal Bulletin).
For instance, once assessed via research / interviews with traders the prices of FeV are published by MB twice a week (Wedn & Friday) and V2O5’s once per week (Friday). The prices are given by MB as a range between a minimum and a maximum. Now compare that with the fact that the price fluctuations of gold / silver / palladium / platinum, etc. are available to the investors in real time.
Perhaps they can use the Asian market as a reference and then eventually create a common view to the reasonable trading price of V and a commonly agreed spot price, reducing the unfair advantage of bigger industrial giants like Glencore. I think a smart move that requires cultivation.
