After the bidding price of the northern mainstream steel mill is settled, the spot market price of silicon manganese and manganese ore is basically locked, in which the rising trend of manganese ore is in the paragraph, and the further rise will make the alloy plant raise the cost again and lead to loss. Due to the obvious decline in the arrival volume and inventory data of manganese mines in May, the purchasing demand of some alloy factories which have direct cooperation with overseas mines will also increase, and the possibility of ore prices falling back after Labor Day is also less likely. However, at the end of May, the market may have been fermented as a result of the blockade in South Africa, resulting in a full recovery of the supply of imported manganese ore, and market expectations and sentiment may have a negative impact on mineral prices.
