This week, the SiMn futures market showed a positive trend, with market sentiment fluctuating in line with the futures market movements. The overall attitude in the manganese ore market was positive, with miners maintaining firm offers and a gradual decrease in low-price sales. Additionally, the concentration of cargo ownership for some manganese oxide ores at ports increased, leading to a reduction in market circulation and supporting the firmness of manganese ore spot prices. The room for downstream SiMn factories to drive down prices narrowed, with spot transaction prices showing a slight increase.
