Supply side, many EMM producers held back from selling. Driven by the SiMn futures market, the quotes for individual spot orders rose slightly. There were fewer low-priced goods in the market, and producers generally refused to budge on prices. Demand side, downstream steel mills were still in the traditional off-season, with a strong wait-and-see sentiment. Purchasing remained cautious, and it was difficult to push through transactions.
