Recently, SiMn futures prices remained at relatively high levels, driving positive market sentiment for manganese ore, with miners generally reluctant to sell at low prices. The concentration of port ownership increased, reducing the circulation volume of some manganese ores.
Most downstream SiMn alloy plants maintained cautious procurement attitudes due to firm ore prices, avoiding large stockpiles and continuing just-in-time procurement. Overall inventory at Tianjin Port and Qinzhou Port remained high.
In summary, spot prices in the manganese ore market recently stabilized, with the tug-of-war between sellers and buyers continuing.
