During the week, overseas miners conducted a four-day strike, redirecting manganese ore exports to third-party terminals. Affected by this news, manganese ore supply is expected to decrease, coupled with persistently low manganese ore inventory at domestic ports, keeping supply at low levels. Miners showed strong expectations for price increases, with offers trending upward. However, downstream alloy plants remained cautious in purchasing manganese ore, with some pressing for lower prices, leading to slow follow-up in actual transactions. Currently, the manganese ore market is experiencing a tug-of-war between sellers and buyers, and further attention is needed on the future performance of silicon-manganese alloy futures and changes in alloy plants' manganese ore procurement.
