July 9 news: As of Wednesday this week, the price of SiMn alloy 65/17 (cash) in the northern market was 5,500-5,600 yuan/mt, up 50 yuan/mt WoW from Wednesday last week; in the southern market, the price of SiMn alloy 65/17 (cash) was 5,600-5,700 yuan/mt, up 50 yuan/mt WoW from Wednesday last week.

This week, the futures market performance of SiMn was positive, driving a slight increase in spot prices. On the factory side, although the current SiMn futures market has been maintaining around 5,800 yuan/mt recently, the strong support from raw material costs has kept SiMn alloy in an inverted state. This week, HBIS Group set the July price of SiMn at 5,850 yuan/mt, higher than the expected price, which has boosted the sentiment of SiMn manufacturers. Quotations are generally firm, but whether the transaction price will continue to rise remains to be followed up.

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.
