Report summary
Over the past month, almost all prices in the bulk steel alloy markets have decreased to some extent. Having been highly elevated for some months, prices for high-grade manganese ore have crashed by over 30%. Though prices for chromium ore have retained their elevation, they have nevertheless inched downwards. Alloy prices have almost all moved down as well. Our guidance for steel-related demand remains lacklustre and has changed little over the past month. In contrast, demand guidance in certain future-facing applications has increased markedly. This refers especially to silicon metal demand in polysilicon and silicones, and also to ferrosilicon used in magnesium production. Read our report to learn more about these developments, our forecast, and the latest movements in the market.
