According to the General Administration of Customs, China exported 28,755 mt of unwrought manganese, scrap, and powder in May, down 7.92% MoM but up 34% YoY. The exports of wrought manganese and manganese products were 2,671 mt, down 67.86% MoM and 18% YoY. The exports of EMM and manganese products were 31,400 mt, down 20.52% MoM.
Two reasons contributed to the decline in exports. On the one hand, overseas downstream demand for EMM surged in April, leading to large purchases of EMM. Therefore, overseas EMM inventory was still ample in May. On the other hand, while EMM offers remained high, the overseas market had a low acceptance of high prices, leading to a decrease in inquiries. As a result, with weak overseas demand for EMM, the downstream was cautious about purchases, resulting in a decrease in purchase volume and a decline in China's exports.
