Manganese market in Europe stays slow though the supply remains tight for manganese flakes. Sources reported to Asian Metal that most participants are still on vacation and though some traders are buying from time to time, most of them are only trying to place some orders for the next month and feel reluctant to accept the current price.
A Changsha-based trader reported to Asian Metal that there are very few buyers asking for spot materials and only those out of supply are buying in a hurry. "The buyers are more likely to place some orders for the next month when the participants return from the holiday," said the source, reporting to Asian Metal that they succeeded in making some deals at USD2,850/t in the middle of the month. But as the price drops in China, more buyers start to hold back from purchasing now, expecting for lower prices in the near term.
The source expects more demand after the summer holiday, but they are not sure whether manganese price will rebound again as the supply keeps increasing in China, which already has pushed the price down to USD2,750/t FOB Chinese main port.
Another Beijing-based trader reported to Asian Metal that they made no inquiry recently. As the market goes slow in Europe, most buyers are staying away from the market though some suppliers insist on very high offers of about USD2,850-2,950/t for spot materials in warehouse Rotterdam. "We don't expect the price to stay long at such a high level," said the source, reporting some may be ready to accept USD2,750/t CIF Rotterdam soon if the situation continues in China.
The source claimed many buyers have already arranged some orders to be fulfilled in September and some Chinese suppliers are delivering the material to Rotterdam warehouse as well. The source has made some deals this month but the highest price they heard was still below USD2,850/t for manganese flakes.

Manganese market starts to decrease in China and more South Korean buyers decide to delay purchasing. Though there are still some deals concluded, the price is mostly not very attractive.
"It seems the suppliers are not very optimistic,' said a South Korean trader who has no intention of purchasing in the near term as the market is not very stable yet. The source reported that the offer they received recently dropped to about USD2,700/t FOB China.
AHowever, some traders also expect the price to rebound again after the summer holiday ends next month. The supply is very tight in European and Japanese market due to the decreasing export from china. "And as the economy recovers, more buyers may return to the market in September, and as a result, some suppliers are reluctant to sell now.
A trader reported to Asian Metal that they made a deal at USD2,750/t CIF Pusan this month while the offer drops from above USD2,800/t FOB due to the increasing supply and decreasing demand in China. "Some large smelters insist on USD2,800/t FOB as they have already booked the output in early September and needs not worry about the near future," said the source.
The source claimed that those who just resumed or started new projects would have to lower their prices to attract the limited deals. Though the market may be more active after the summer holiday, demand is not as sure to increase soon especially when the economy trend remains unclear in Europe, Japan and other major consumer markets. The source reports that most buyers only purchase in small quantities of about one to two cargos.
Another South Korean trader reported to Asian Metal that they made no deal of manganese flakes this month while demand from the downstream consumer market remains unclear. "Especially when the price keeps dropping in China, we expect lower prices in the coming weeks and the buyers decide to wait for some while," said the source, who received an offer of USD2,750/t FOB early this month. The source purchases about 20-40 tons of manganese powder from China monthly.
As the price is unstable, more buyers are watching the market, feeling reluctant to return soon especially when demand is not expected to recover soon in September.

BEIJING (Asian Metal) 9 Jun 09 - Manganese price goes up again early the week with the buyers back to the market to replenish stocks. Sources reported that demand from the downstream industry remains firm while the market supply continues to be tight in the spot market. Some offers reach RMB13,000/t ex works again and suppliers are unwilling to sell in a hurry not, trying to make some high prices.

A Hunan-based smelter with no stock at hand told Asian Metal that the offer in the area is about RMB12,800-13,000/t (USD1,871-1,901/t) ex works. "Demand is still firm in domestic market but the supply is tight," said the source, thinking that though many smelters have resumed but only in partial operation. The source believed the tight supply in spot market would hold manganese market from retreating too fast in the coming weeks even though the price failed to move up further.

Some participants claim that up to 80% of the smelters have already resumed production, which would definitely depress the market still in relatively low demand. A Guangxi-based smelter, unwilling to sell at below RMB12,700/t (USD1,857/t) ex works, regarded the overcapacity of manganese industry the most reason for the low price of manganese metal, which stayed most of the time around its production cost level.

The source also confirmed the export market failed to see any improvement yet. "We had an inquiry whose intention price was only around USD2,300/t CIF Rotterdam, which we could not make any profits," said the source, deciding to focus on domestic market this year where the demand is stronger and profits are higher.

With the South China enters rainy season, the transport condition is very bad in some areas and this would also hamper the supply of manganese ore, which is another reason to the increasing price for the moment. Manganese production would slide in short of raw materials, pushing the smelters to expect for higher prices and become reluctant to sell hastily.

BEIJING (Asian Metal) 6 May 09 - Manganese offers increase by RMB100-200/t (USD15-29/t) as more inquiries are received. Sources reported that manganese supply in spot market is a bit tight and suppliers start to raise their offers.
A Hunan-based smelter offering RMB12,500/t (USD1,833/t) ex works told Asian Metal that they could sell the material at RMB12,400/t (USD1,818/t) ex works. "As the downstream market warms a bit and buyers start to inquire for the material, the situation is better in China now," said the source who has no stocks at hand for the moment.
The source claimed that as the production is very low in China, it is a bit difficult to replenish too much material in the spot market. "It will be normal for the price to increase by RMB50-150/t (USD8-22/t) if you need some materials for prompt delivery."
AHowever, the source thinks it can be impossible for manganese price to increase too much while the downstream industry remains a bit stagnant and no one is quite confident about the market in the coming months, especially when export market hardly improves.
A branch of a Japanese based buyer located in North China told Asian Metal that they have stayed away from the market for over two months due to the weak demand in Japan. "There were only some very small inquiries of about 20-50 tons in the last few months. And the concluded price is also a bit low," said the source, who doubts whether the price could go up this time while right before the May Day, manganese price slid soon after it rose above RMB13,000/t (USD1,906/t) ex works.
While the supply is also not very sufficient, the source claimed that it is also difficult for the price to slide too much in the coming weeks. "We think the price would go stable at about RMB12,500/t (USD1,833/t) ex works this month."
