SHANGHAI, Jan 17 (SMM) - On January 17, the prices of high-carbon ferrochrome in Inner Mongolia were 8,700-9,000 yuan/mt (Cr 50%), flat from the previous trading day. With the approaching of the Chinese New Year, the transportation efficiency gradually dropped, and the retail sales of spot ferrochrome are mostly suspended. Prices of ferrochrome were stable before the Chinese New Year holiday. Chrome ore prices fluctuated with some ups as the arrivals at ports in the month were low, thus the industry players are generally bullish on the bid prices in February 2023.

Mexico is also advocating for a regional approach to the automotive sector, citing deep North American production integration and existing USMCA rules of origin. Additional rounds of negotiations are scheduled for June and July. Separately, Mexico has already mandated that federal construction projects use only domestically produced steel.
