Earlier in the week, supported by reduced manganese ore shipments in the future market, miners maintained firm offers, and manganese ore prices fluctuated upward. Later, influenced by the continued downward fluctuation in SiMn alloy futures, market sentiment for manganese ore pulled back. Most miners temporarily withheld offers, showing weak willingness to sell at low prices. As of Friday, alloy plants largely bargained down purchasing prices for manganese ore, leading miners to slightly lower their offers, with spot manganese ore prices fluctuating downward.
