For example, 72% FeSi in Qinghai dropped 50 yuan/ton, and silicomanganese 6517 in Jiangsu rose 20 yuan/ton [3]. - Basis/Spread: Ferrosilicon and silicomanganese basis and spreads showed various changes. For example, the SF - SM spread was - 200, up 14 from the previous day and 30 from the previous week [3]. - Raw Materials: Manganese ore prices in Tianjin were stable to weak, with South African semi - carbonate down 0.2 yuan/ton degree. Lanthanum charcoal small materials in different regions also showed price declines [3]. Market Judgement - Trading Strategy: Ferrosilicon: The previous long positions can be held as the supply may decrease, demand is expected to increase, and the valuation is not high. Silicomanganese: It can be a long - position option on dips due to stable supply, expected demand increase, and strong cost support [5]. - Important Information: On January 28, Tianjin Port's semi - carbonate, Gabon block, and Australian block had specific quotes.
