Manganese ore quotes not to fluctuate much

摘要

Manganese ore quotes have dropped in the domestic market of China by 2?3 in late November, though in northern ports only, adding 1 over the whole month. This was more of a psychological reaction to slacker raw material demand from flat steel producers who have suffered losses in both the domestic and foreign markets for the first time in 18 months. SiMn are still RMB 50?100/t above the October level, while manganese ore consumption is supposed to be consistent due to high ferroalloy output.
