A recent report states that the metals sector is set to continue its rebound from the effects of the covid-19 pandemic through 2022.

The domestic ferrosilicon market continued to operate weakly this week.

Insiders believe the price increase of raw materials also contributes to the price fluctuation in the magnesium market.

Many ferrosilicon plants said that the production cost was high and there were some difficulties in production and delivery.

Liquidity has been reduced on the spot market, with producers having low volumes of material available.

Limited utilization of capacity as well as cost support, making the spot market generally strong, but the transaction slowed down.

The spot market was relatively stable and mostly wait-and-see.

US ferro-silicon (75pc) prices increased to $2.60-2.80/lb from $2.20-2.30/lb on 30 September.
