【Factory】:Siliconmanganese prices have risen this week

Futures have been buzzing this week. The silico-manganese 2105 contract began to rise by 1.77% on Monday, reaching a maximum of 6942 points, a minimum of 6720 points, and closing at 6898 points. The upward trend continues in the next few days, and today’s opening rose by 1.14% to a maximum of 7808. Points, the lowest was 7352 points and closed at 7474 points.

In terms of manganese ore: external quotations have risen, silico-manganese alloy futures and spot prices have risen strongly, and factories have increased their enthusiasm for inquiries and purchases. With the positive information gradually showing, the recent manganese ore market quotations have also been raised. Some ore prices have increased compared with the previous day. It is about 0.5-1 yuan/ton degree. As the stock of raw manganese ore basically maintains a high level, it is necessary to carefully observe the future trend.

In terms of spot: Affected by the continuous and substantial increase in silico-manganese alloy futures during the week, the price of manganese ore has also risen this week. According to domestic factories and enterprises, the current spot supply is still tight and the electricity price of some enterprises has risen. This week, the epidemic has affected the difficulty of vehicles. Looking for part of the freight rate increase, driven by the cost of raw materials, transportation and consumption, the industry is currently in strong bullish sentiment, and the willingness to stand up for the price is strong. The existing factories have been closed and are not quoting externally.

As of this Friday, Si-Manganese 6517# in Inner Mongolia is quoted at 6100-6200 yuan/ton, Si-Manganese 6517# in Ningxia is quoted at 6100-6200 yuan/ton, Si-Manganese 6517# in Guangxi is quoted at 6100-6200 yuan/ton, and Si-Manganese 6517# in Chongqing is quoted at 6100-6200 yuan/ton, and the price trend this week is shown in the figure:

【Manganese Ore】:The silico-manganese alloy futures and spot prices are firming up, and factories are more enthusiastic about inquiries and purchases, which will certainly benefit the domestic spot price of manganese ore. With the recent large demand for factory purchases, the situation of port depots is better, and the mindset of miners is still relatively optimistic.And the price of silicomanganese is still strong, resulting in the recent rise in the manganese ore market. As for the future trend of the market, the short-term manganese ore is less likely to fall.
