Most people are focusing on steel mills tender price of August, and until present time, both the price and the volume were more or less increased, which would be a good news to ferrosilicon.
 
Steel: The environmental protect policy of August was not as strict as July and would influence steel productions little. But due to the high temperature, the construction conditions were severe. On the other hand, due to the slack season, the steel was not in a high demand, then the contradiction between the supply and the demand was still exist.
 
Deformed Steel Bar: the supply was more than the demand since the late July, and the stockpile was increasing and the market was downlink.
 
Magnesium Metal: Weakly steady. The low price was "unable to stand", factories said. Plus the high temperature and some other reasons, suppliers were unwilling to low the price. Meanwhile, the purchasers were still waiting and seeing. The whole trading volumes were not satisfactory.
 
Silicon Metal: Many factories dropped their productions after the price falling for days, which caused the stockpiles of silicon metal decreased. This week, price of silicon metal stopped falling and the demand was improved, it's expected that the market would be steady in a short term.
