Japanese silicomanganese falls further on continued weak demand

摘要

Silicomanganese prices delivered to Japan fell further this week amid continued weak demand, the anticipated return of major supplier India after lockdown, and lower prices of manganese ores, the main feedstock in silicomanganese production. S&P Global Platts assessed the weekly spot 65% grade silicomanganese price at $990-$1,000/mt CIF Japan Thursday, down from $1,005-$1,015/mt last week, and also from $1,020-$1,040/mt two weeks ago.
