SHANGHAI, Dec. 13 (SMM) -- In China’s manganese ore market, inquiries reduced, and transactions still stagnated. According to SMM survey result, most small and medium alloy producers' willingness to halt production increased in Yunnan province, leading to stagnant transactions of Burma's manganese ore (Mn 30-32%, Fe 5%). Spot manganese ore prices already fell to RMB 600/mt. below production cost. According to market players, manganese ore prices meet resistance to fall. Although traders still kept offers firm, transactions were limited.

In north port, newly-arrived manganese ore from Gabon already delivered to NPI producers, leaving limited supply to spot market. In south market, offers for Brazilian manganese ore were Around RMB 36.5/mtu. Inquiries for Australian manganese ore increased.
