January 15: In the northern market, SiMn alloy 65/17 (cash) was priced at 5,900-6,100 yuan/mt, up 150 yuan/mt MoM; in the southern market, SiMn alloy 65/17 (cash) was priced at 6,100-6,200 yuan/mt, also up 150 yuan/mt MoM. According to SMM, on the raw material side, manganese ore ownership is concentrated, and miners showed strong sentiment to stand firm on quotes, with weak willingness to sell at low prices. Supply side, due to rising raw material prices, cost support strengthened, and SiMn alloy producers slightly raised their quotes, with no low-price offers. Demand side, downstream steel mills slowed their stockpiling pace before the Chinese New Year, and market transactions were relatively quiet, with many waiting for mainstream steel tender pricing.
