SHANGHAI, Mar 10 (SMM) - Silicon metal stocks across China’s three major markets stood at 125,000 mt as of March 10, a drop of 1,000 mt from a week ago. The arrival of goods at Tianjin Port was relatively small, and the local inventory decreased slightly. The volume of goods entering and leaving Huangpu Port during the week were basically equal, thus the inventory barely unchanged. Some warehouses in Kunming received limited cargoes from silicon metal plants, and local inventories were also largely stable.

In the spot market, high-priced long-term contracted cargoes arrived at ports in the early stage with high cargo receiving costs. Domestic traders showed a strong willingness to prop up prices, driving continuous hikes in chromite quotations. However, downstream demand remained sluggish. Coupled with persistently high shipments and a notable inventory build-up, selling pressure intensified, slowing the upward momentum of spot chromite prices.
