[Fellow]A Weekly Review of Manganese Alloy Market (6.26-6.30)

 

【Ferro-alloys.com】

Futures: This week, the main contracts of manganese and silicon futures have been fluctuating and organized. The initial price of manganese silicon is 6622, the ending price is 6598, the highest price is 6696, and the lowest price is 6538, with a range increase of 0.4% and a range amplitude of 2.4%. The overall situation is in a high level correction structure, and it is recommended to approach it with a range fluctuation approach.

 

Spot : The overall stability of the manganese silicon market is maintained, and the current supply increment is significantly coupled with weak demand. In the off-season of the summer, manganese silicon is facing certain pressure to go out of stock, and manufacturers are in a wait-and-see mood when submitting orders. The operating rate in the north remains high, and some manufacturers have recently alleviated the cost pressure on silicon manganese manufacturers, with a certain profit margin. The operating rates in Inner Mongolia and Ningxia have increased to varying degrees. Yunnan's electricity discount has increased, resulting in an increase in production. The mainstream steel bidding price and procurement volume are lower than expected, and the actual transaction price is slightly lower. Manufacturers lack confidence and wait for the start of a new round of steel bidding.

To sum up:This week, the manganese silicon market temporarily stabilized operation. Steel recruitment is imminent, and manufacturers have a strong wait-and-see attitude, with insufficient confidence in expectations. In terms of cost, the manganese ore market remains stable, with coke operating in a volatile manner. The profit margin of factories in the north is mainly small profits, while southern factories have increased their operating rates due to preferential electricity bills in Yunnan. Waiting for a new round of steel moves.
