Mining giant BHP Billiton is planning to reshuffle its management structure.

SHANGHAI, Apr. 22 (SMM) -

Domestic market:
Offers for spot manganese ore at ports remained stable, but trading was stagnant. Some market players believe that even price cuts may not be able to stoke much buying interest. This is because manganese alloy producers are now pessimistic over future markets. Some manganese ore traders have even switched to other industries.

Transactions:
In northern ports, inquiries of South African medium-iron and high-iron manganese ore were brisk, but transaction volumes were limited due to tight supplies.
