At the beginning of the week, the manganese ore market fluctuated at highs, with low arrivals of oxidized ore and slightly tight supply. Miners had low willingness to sell at low prices, and their quotes remained firm. Alloy plants had a general acceptance of high-priced manganese ore, and both sides remained in a deadlock. Spot prices were temporarily stable. In the SiMn spot market, alloy plants suffered losses and were unwilling to sell at low prices. Most did not offer quotes, and spot prices were temporarily stable. There was a strong wait-and-see sentiment at the beginning of the week. HBIS Group set the July SiMn price at 5,850 yuan/mt (up 250 yuan/mt from the inquiry price), and the futures prices of SiMn were positive, boosting confidence in the manganese ore market. It is expected that manganese ore prices will continue to remain firm in the short term.

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.
