Mn output cuts may pressure China’s Se demand

摘要

Planned output cuts by Chinese manganese smelters may weigh on demand and prices for selenium dioxide feedstock ahead of the 11-17 February lunar new year holiday, according to market participants. Key producers in the manganese industry alliance, led by China’s largest smelter Ningxia Tianyuan, agreed at a 9 January meeting to carry out a 60-day output suspension with mutual supervision this year to support prices.
