As of this Friday, the average spot price of domestic electrolytic manganese (EMM) was 13,450-13,600 yuan/mt, unchanged WoW from last Friday. The FOB price was 1,890-1,920 US dollars/mt, up 10 US dollars/mt WoW from last Friday. According to SMM, on the supply side, EMM plants held firm on their offers, with some holding back from selling and focusing on fulfilling long-term contracts. Traders largely followed the manganese plants' firm offers, making it difficult to find low-priced supplies in the market. On the demand side, downstream steel mills remained cautious about EMM, with traders making only small purchases. Overall, the tug-of-war between sellers and buyers in the EMM market continued, with spot prices remaining stable for the time being.
