This week, the domestic electrolytic manganese market continued to operate weakly and steadily. As of Friday, the spot price in the mainstream area of the manganese triangle in China was slightly lower than last week, with the southern region mostly around 13000 yuan per ton (cash factory). Among them, there are a few small manufacturers who will negotiate a price of less than 13000 yuan per ton.

On the market side, the overall atmosphere of the electrolytic manganese market at the beginning of this week is calmer, and the transaction price has not changed much compared with last week, but the actual transaction in the factory is flat, so the market people are constantly warming up their bearish attitude towards the later stage of the market. Some manufacturers in the manganese triangle region are still mainly to sign contracts with fixed customers and execute the promissory notes, the price of which is said to be around 12800 yuan / ton, and there is no lack of lower negotiations.

In terms of factory production, except for the manganese plants in Guizhou and Hubei, which were shut down and overhauled in July, the manganese plants in other areas started production normally, so the domestic electrolytic manganese production will decline in July. At present, Chongqing is the area covered by the environmental protection, the specific environmental protection inspection is still the current market concern.
