During the week, miners showed weak willingness to actively quote prices. As the holiday approached, sentiment to stand firm on quotes was strong, and prices remained firm. Some miners held back from selling, waiting to quote after the New Year. Demand side, the destocking pace of manganese ore at ports accelerated, and downstream alloy plants were actively purchasing before the holiday. However, downstream alloy plants were cautious about manganese ore procurement and showed weak acceptance of high-priced manganese ore, opting for bargain down purchasing prices. Additionally, the alloy spot market fluctuated downward, coupled with the continued downward trend in SiMn alloy futures, putting upward pressure on the manganese ore spot market.
