SHANGHAI, May 9 (SMM) - China produced 895,800 mt of SiMn alloy in April, down 5.74% MoM and 7.59% YoY. From January to April 2023, the total output was 3.71 million mt, a drop of 1.69% year-on-year. In April, SiMn alloy producers in Guangxi had to suspend or cut production since they suffered losses from the low SiMn alloy prices. The output in the north also declined due to factors such as power rationing, maintenance, and power grid transformation.Companies in south China are highly expected to resume work in May, which may send the SiMn alloy prices to fall. SMM believes that the SiMn alloy producers will still focus on controlling the output, and for instance, the companies which can win profits may increase output while the ones that suffer losses will cut their production. Therefore, the overall output is expected to change little to about 894,000 mt in May.
