Today, electrolytic manganese market, manganese triangle mainstream spot tax factory quotation around 13000 to 13200 yuan / ton, today the price is slightly loose, down 50 to 100 yuan / ton. At present, the actual demand of the market is flat, and some operators of the manganese factory are willing to give way to the goods. The latest transaction price of electrolytic manganese has a slight downward trend. The latest sporadic spot transaction price of the manganese triangle region is around 13000 yuan / ton (cash factory).

According to SMM research, at present, some manganese factories in the southern region also reflect that it is difficult to ship the current spot electrolytic manganese spot tax ex-factory price around 13100 yuan / ton, and there are a few sporadic spot cash factory transaction prices that will be lower than 13000 yuan / ton. Some operators think that the overall transaction situation in this market is also very light. Due to the fact that the small and medium-sized manganese plants in the southern region are mainly futures, there are few spot, coupled with less market demand release. As a result, the transaction price of a small number of short-term documents delivered within a short period of time has been reduced to 12800 to 12900 yuan per ton.
