China's SiMn alloy output totalled 808,500 mt in March, up 0.87% MoM and down 14.93% YoY, SMM data showed. In northern regions such as Inner Mongolia, the output stayed at a high level due to a high operating rate and an increase in the number of days in March, while some companies in Ningxia and most in the south cut production because of low prices.
In April, SiMn alloy producers in low-cost regions such as Inner Mongolia maintained operations. Considering the limited profit margin caused by low prices of SiMn alloy, the operating rate in other regions is expected to stay low. The overall SiMn alloy production in April is estimated to decline to about 778,500 mt.
