According to SMM, rising SiMn futures prices boosted miners’ confidence, hence they were more willing to sell goods with lower prices. However, considering that silicomanganese manufacturers are still cautious in purchasing raw materials, the manganese ore market has not fluctuated greatly for the time being.
