SHANGHAI, Jan 30 (SMM) - Today, the high-carbon ferrochrome in Inner Mongolia was quoted at 9,000-9,100 yuan/mt (Cr50%) today, up 200 yuan/mt (Cr50%) from the previous trading day.

After the Chinese New Year holiday, the prices of ferrochrome rose. Although the enterprises resumed the production, the actual market transactions were few. However, the market was bullish about the market. Coupled with the low inventory of chrome ore, low arrivals and strong expectations for increasing demand, the prices of chrome ore continued to rise. As such, the costs of ferrochrome increased further and the prices of ferrochrome will be relatively strong in the near future.

[Brief Review of China’s Iron Ore Market] Resource Supply in West Liaoning Was Tight, and Local Ore Prices Might Rise Slightly

[China Iron Ore Brief Review: Tight Resources in West Liaoning, Local Ore Prices May Edge Up Slightly] The domestic ore market in west Liaoning was relatively stable, with the ex-factory prices of 66-grade iron ore concentrates, wet basis and excluding tax, at 730-740 yuan/mt. Supply and demand were clearly in a wait-and-see mode. Beneficiation plants, considering the relatively small inventory pressure, temporarily held back from selling. Against this backdrop, traders were not highly motivated to make inquiries, and only a few made price inquiries based on their own needs. Affected by safety and environmental protection inspections, mining was restricted, and a small number of operating beneficiation plants suspended production for maintenance due to constraints in ROM resources. Circulating spot resources remained tight, which still provided certain support for ore prices.
