Demand continues to be weak and electrolytic manganese is weak (March 3 to March 10)

This week (March 3 to March 10), the market price of 1 # electrolytic manganese was temporarily stable, and the market atmosphere was weak. The spot market price in East China was 16850 yuan/ton at the end of last week and 16850 yuan/ton at the end of this week, temporarily stable.

 

In terms of manganese ore: the overall market performance is weak, and the manufacturers’ intention to lower prices continues to ferment. The transaction price of Tianjin Port manganese ore fell by about 0.5 yuan/tonne, Australia’s 46.5 yuan/tonne, Gabon’s 42.5 yuan/tonne, and South Africa’s semi-carbonic acid’s 34 yuan/tonne. Qinzhou Port saw a slight decline, with Australian dollar of 46.8 yuan/ton, Gabon of 42.8 yuan/ton, and South Africa’s semi-carbonic acid of 36 yuan/ton. The external quotation of imported manganese ore has declined, the mining enthusiasm of downstream manufacturers is weak, the inventory of manganese ore in the port has gradually accumulated, and the transaction price has continued to decline slightly. However, at present, the freight of individual minerals has increased, and the exchange rate has risen, and the cost of manganese ore has been supported. It is expected that the overall price attitude of the miners will not decrease in the short term.
