The highest price of the day was 6,120 yuan/mt, and the lowest was 5,886 yuan/mt. Trading volume was 242,405 lots, and open interest was 373,880 lots.

Many SiMn alloy plants held back from selling, with a low willingness to sell at low prices. Demand side, downstream steel mills showed weak enthusiasm for SiMn alloy procurement, and pre-National Day restocking demand was weak. The actual market transactions were sluggish, and spot SiMn alloy prices continued to decline.
