Market Judgment Silicon Ferroalloy - On November 17, the spot price was stable with a slight upward trend, and the spot price in some regions increased by 100 yuan/ton. The operating rate and output of sample enterprises on the supply side both decreased. Attention should be paid to whether a production - cut trend will form when the price reaches a low level. On the demand side, the steel inventory de - stocking statistics at the beginning of the week were good, and the concern about negative feedback was slightly alleviated. On the cost side, due to the dry season and the strong spot price of coal, the electricity prices of ferroalloys in each production area were generally stable with a slight upward trend. Overall, the fundamentals show weak supply and demand, and the cost increase drives a short - term rebound. It is expected to continue the bottom - oscillating trend [6]. Manganese Silicon - On November 17, the manganese ore spot was stable with a slight upward trend, and the spot price of Australian lump in Tianjin increased by 0.2 yuan/ton degree.

On the cost side, the domestic port inventory was at a low level in the same period, the spot was stable with a slight upward trend, and the overseas manganese ore quotation also increased steadily. Coupled with a slight increase in the electricity fee in the production area, the cost side increased. Against the background of weak supply and demand and cost support, it is expected to mainly oscillate at the bottom [6]. Important Information - On November 17, the price of Australian lump Mn42.3% in Tianjin was 39.7 yuan/ton degree, the price of Gabonese lump Mn46.6% was 40.5 yuan/ton degree, and the price of semi - carbonate Mn37% was 35 yuan/ton degree [8]. - A ferroalloy plant in Zhongwei, Ningxia, carried out maintenance on one 25500kva silicon ferroalloy furnace on the afternoon of November 16, reducing the daily output by about 70 tons [9].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - On September 22, 2025, ferroalloy futures prices rose and then fell. The silicon ferro - alloy (SF) main contract closed at 5648, down 1.53% with a decrease in positions, while the silicon manganese (SM) main contract closed at 5870, down 1.58% with an increase in positions [7]. - For SF, the spot price was stable with a slight increase on the 22nd. Supply was high with a slight decline in the sample enterprise's operating rate. Demand was supported by high iron - water production due to high steel billet exports. After the price decline, the valuation was not high and the cost was supportive, so short positions could be reduced or put options could be sold for protection [7]. - For SM, the manganese ore spot was stable on the 22nd, and the SM spot price was stable with a slight decline. Supply decreased but was still high compared to the same period in previous years. Demand was affected by the decline in rebar production. The manganese ore price was firm due to low port inventories. After the price decline, there was cost support, and short positions could also be reduced or put options could be sold for protection [7]. - The trading strategies were to reduce short positions or sell put options for single - side trading, to wait and see for arbitrage, and to sell put options for options trading [8]. 3.

Report Summary 1. Investment Rating No investment rating for the industry is provided in the report. 2. Core View The report suggests a wait - and - see approach for both manganese - silicon and silicon - iron due to factors such as supply - demand balance and coal price trends. For manganese - silicon, with overall loose supply - demand but low inventory and stable thermal coal prices, significant price trends are unlikely. For silicon - iron, its price movement depends on energy prices, and the supply - demand contradiction is limited [43]. 3. Summary by Directory Part 1: Market Review - **Steel Inventory**: This week, the total steel inventory was 1519.74 million tons, a month - on - month increase of 5.13 million tons with a significantly narrowed growth rate. Among them, the steel mill inventory was 418.38 million tons, a month - on - month decrease of 1.14 million tons, and the social inventory was 1101.36 million tons, a month - on - month increase of 6.27 million tons [5]. - **Industry Policies and Data**: The National Energy Administration recently issued the "Technical Guidelines for the Preparation of Coal Mining Area Master Plans". In August, China exported 563 million tons of steel plates, a year - on - year decrease of 15.1%; from January to August, the cumulative export was 4808 million tons, a year - on - year decrease of 0.1%. From January to August 2025, China's export of mechanical and electrical products was 10.6 trillion yuan, a year - on - year increase of 9.2%, accounting for 60.2% of the total export value. In August 2025, China exported 760,000 cars, a year - on - year increase of 25.2%; from January to August, the cumulative export was 4.93 million, a year - on - year increase of 20.5%.

For example, in Inner Mongolia, the basis was 110, with a year - on - year increase of 0.53%, a 30 - day decrease of 0.35%, and a weekly increase of 0.88%, and the price was 5730 [9]. - **Silicon - Iron Futures and Spot Prices**: Although not detailed in the given text, the report also mentions the silicon - iron futures trend and basis situation [13][16]. - **Power Price Changes**: The report presents the power price changes of ferroalloy in different regions such as Ningxia, Qinghai, Yunnan, and Inner Mongolia from June 20, 2023, to August 20, 2025 [19]. Part 2: Manganese - Silicon Industry Chain Overview The report shows the price, import volume, inventory, profit estimation, output, and demand (related to steel output) of manganese ore in the manganese - silicon industry chain from 2019 to 2025 through charts, but no specific numerical data is given in the text [21][24][26][27][30][31]. Part 3: Silicon - Iron Industry Chain Overview The report shows the profit estimation, output, and demand (related to steel output) of silicon - iron in the silicon - iron industry chain from 2019 to 2025 through charts, but no specific numerical data is given in the text [34][38][40]. Part 4: Outlook - **Manganese - Silicon**: Last week, manganese - silicon futures rose, and the spot price increased slightly with a slight decline in the basis. The September bid price of the iconic steel mill was 6000 yuan/ton, slightly higher than expected, but the long - term indecision of downstream bids indicated general demand. The output of manganese - silicon decreased month - on - month, and steel production also decreased. With overall loose supply - demand but low inventory and stable thermal coal spot prices, significant price trends are unlikely, and a wait - and - see approach is recommended [43]. - **Silicon - Iron**: Last week, silicon - iron futures rose, the spot price reached a high and then slightly declined, and the basis changed little. The stable thermal coal spot price and high market expectations for the recovery of thermal coal prices drove the rebound of silicon - iron. In terms of supply - demand, the output last week remained flat, but steel production decreased month - on - month, and the supply - demand contradiction was limited. According to Mysteel statistics, the national capacity utilization rate of 136 independent silicon - iron enterprises was 34.84%, unchanged from last week, and the daily average output was 16,150 tons, unchanged from last week. The trend of silicon - iron depends on energy price changes, and a wait - and - see approach is recommended [43].
