SHANGHAI, Oct 10 (SMM) –
Chinese SiMn alloy output stood at 987,400 mt in September, up 1.85% on the month and 36.61% on the year, SMM data showed. SiMn alloy output in the first nine months of 2023 stood at about 8.498 million mt, up 12.5% year-on-year. A big part of the reason behind the gain in output in September was rising operating rate in southern China, such as Guangxi, Guizhou, Yunnan and other regions, though the overall output was little changed in north China. Moderate bids from steel mills and positive news-aided SiMn alloy futures price uptick explained for the rising operating rate.
Notwithstanding restart of some furnaces from maintenance, SiMn alloy output was under greater pressure stemming from energy consumption restrictions in Pingluo and Shizuishan. Therefore, the overall SiMn alloy production in October is projected to be stable at about 992,400 mt.
