Before and after the Dragon Boat Festival, downstream alloy plants maintained just-in-time procurement of manganese ore, and inventory at ports continued to decline slowly. After the festival, miners' offers fluctuated relatively small, with many adopting a wait-and-see attitude towards market sentiment. The manganese alloy market remained in the doldrums. Alloy plants pressed down prices when purchasing manganese ore, and manganese ore prices struggled to rise. Currently, there are no positive factors in the market, and the spot price of manganese ore is temporarily stable.
