The manganese ore market currently shows slightly chaotic quotations, with miners showing weak willingness to sell at low prices. Port manganese ore inventory increased MoM, but spot manganese ore supply remains concentrated, leading to tight spot supply in the market. Demand side, downstream alloy plants have low acceptance of high-priced manganese ore, and actual transactions remain slow. Currently, SiMn alloy futures have hit the limit down, causing disturbances in the spot market, which may lead to bargain down purchasing prices for manganese ore in the future. The manganese ore market is experiencing a tug-of-war between sellers and buyers, and upward price movement faces pressure.
