In the southern market, the price of SiMn alloy 65/17 (cash) is 5,550-5,750 yuan/mt, down 50 yuan/mt WoW from last Wednesday. According to SMM, on the raw material side, the inventory of manganese ore at ports continues to decline at a slow pace. Before the Labour Day holiday, alloy plants replenished a small amount of high-grade manganese oxide ore. After the holiday, the manganese ore market saw sluggish purchasing activities, mainly focusing on non-mainstream manganese ore, leading to a decline in spot prices of manganese ore. On the supply side, due to severe production losses, SiMn alloy plants still have plans to reduce or halt production. On the demand side, downstream demand for SiMn alloy remains sluggish, with most buyers waiting for mainstream steel tenders to enter the market.
