Currently, there is an inventory buildup of manganese ore at ports, and miners' offers remain stable. In some southern regions, due to the advantages of the rainy season, electricity tariffs have been slightly reduced, enhancing the willingness of alloy plants to resume production, leading to active inquiries for manganese ore. Affected by the doldrums in the futures market for ferromanganese, there is still an expectation of a decline in spot prices for manganese ore in the future.

Before the holiday, the black chain is unlikely to see a trend-driven market [SMM Steel Industry Chain Weekly Report].

This week, ferrous metals were in the doldrums, with coking coal and coke staging a mid-week rise. At the beginning of the week, financial markets experienced sharp fluctuations, dragging down sentiment in the ferrous chain and leading to a pullback in futures. Mid-week, Indonesia's cut to coke production quotas drove coking coal and coke futures to lead the gains, though the impact was more pronounced on thermal coal, while coking coal's rise was largely sentiment-driven and short-lived. In the latter part of the week, finished products continued their seasonal inventory buildup, and support from the raw material side weakened, causing the entire ferrous chain to pull back. In the spot market, with the Chinese New Year holiday approaching, purchasing activity slowed down further, with end-users only making limited, as-needed purchases at low prices.
