[SMM Silicon Daily Review: Silicon Metal Raw Material Silicon Coal Prices Continue to Decline] East China silicon metal prices remained stable. Standard #553 silicon metal in East China was at 10,600-10,700 yuan/mt, above-standard #553 silicon metal at 10,800-10,900 yuan/mt, and #421 silicon metal at 11,500-11,700 yuan/mt.

SMM, February 10: Silicon metal prices in east China remained stable. Standard #553 silicon metal in east China was priced at 10,600-10,700 yuan/mt, above-standard #553 silicon metal at 10,800-10,900 yuan/mt, and #421 silicon metal at 11,500-11,700 yuan/mt. The silicon metal market prices remained weak and stable, with market transactions still sluggish. Under the influence of weak market conditions, the upstream silicon coal sector also faced challenges such as low demand and price suppression sentiment from the downstream industries. Today, the ex-factory price of non-caking silicon coal in Xinjiang was further reduced by 50 yuan/mt, currently standing at 1,110 yuan/mt. This price adjustment aims to continue benefiting downstream silicon plants.

[SMM Iron & Steel] Thyssenkrupp Steel Invests €2.4 Million in High-Purity Ore Testing Facility

Thyssenkrupp Steel has announced an investment of €2.4 million into a new testing facility at its Duisburg site to evaluate the "iron ore of the future." This initiative focuses on the chemical and physical characterization of high-purity ores and pellets required for hydrogen-based direct reduction (DR) plants. As the industry moves away from traditional coal-based blast furnaces, ensuring a stable and efficient supply of DR-grade feedstock is critical for the success of Thyssenkrupp's decarbonization strategy, which targets its first climate-neutral steel production by the end of 2026.

[SMM Iron & Steel] Magnetite Mines Razorback Project Gains Major Project Status in Australia

The Australian federal government has granted "Major Project Status" to the Razorback Magnetite project in South Australia, recognizing its potential to provide high-grade iron ore feedstock for the green steel industry. This status streamlines regulatory approvals for the $2 billion project, which is designed to produce 68.5% Fe concentrate essential for hydrogen-based direct reduction ironmaking. The project is a key part of Australia's strategy to move toward higher-value mineral processing as global steelmakers seek to reduce their Scope 3 emissions through higher-purity inputs.

[SMM Iron & Steel] India NMDC Achieves Record Iron Ore Output in FY2026

State-owned NMDC Limited reported a record-breaking performance for the fiscal year ending March 2026, achieving its highest-ever annual output of 53.15 million tonnes, a 21% increase year-on-year. This surge was supported by a massive 51% production spike in March alone as the company pushed to meet national infrastructure targets. Despite the record domestic volume, the mismatch between local low-grade output and the high-grade requirements of advanced steel mills continues to drive India's increasing reliance on seaborne procurement for its premium feedstock.
