1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided on the overall industry investment rating 2. Core Views Manganese Silicon - The overall view is neutral. This week, the market oscillated and consolidated. The weekly output of ferromanganese silicon decreased slightly, and demand declined marginally. The fluctuations in both the futures and spot markets were small recently. With high production costs, it's difficult for steel mills to purchase at low prices. The price in the northern market is 5550 - 5600 yuan/ton, and 5580 - 5620 yuan/ton in the southern market. A large steel mill in Hebei tendered at 5820 yuan/ton. The manganese ore market is firm, and the alloy profit is poor [3]. Ferrosilicon - The overall view is neutral. This week, the market oscillated upwards. The ferrosilicon market was stable, mainly fulfilling orders. The ex - factory price of 72 - grade ferrosilicon natural lumps in the main production areas is 5150 - 5250 yuan/ton, and 75 - grade ferrosilicon is reported at 5700 yuan/ton. Hebei Steel priced it at 5660 yuan/ton. Production increased slightly, steel mill demand declined marginally, and metal magnesium production increased slightly. The current profitability in the main production areas is poor, and overall costs have risen [4]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Manganese Silicon Manganese Ore Inventory - The total port inventory of manganese ore is 431.4 tons, with a slight de - stocking compared to the previous period. Tianjin Port's inventory increased slightly to 383.9 tons, still significantly lower than the same period last year. Qinzhou Port's inventory decreased slightly to 47 tons, at a historically low level in recent years [15]. - In Tianjin Port, the inventory of South African ore is 263.9 tons with a slight de - stocking, Gabonese ore is 29 tons with a marginal de - stocking and far lower than last year, and Australian ore is 44.6 tons with a slight de - stocking, slightly higher than last year [19]. Manganese Ore Port Price - The price of Gabonese lumps in Tianjin Port is 40 yuan/ton - degree, Australian lumps are 38.8 yuan/ton - degree, and South African semi - carbonate is 34.2 yuan/ton - degree. The supply - demand game in the manganese ore market has intensified, quotes remain firm, and transactions are adjusted within a narrow range [22]. Manganese Silicon Production - As of November 7, the weekly output of ferromanganese silicon decreased to 20.19 tons. The daily average output in Inner Mongolia decreased to 13850 tons/day, remained stable at 6785 tons/day in Ningxia, decreased significantly to 1410 tons/day in Yunnan, decreased slightly to 2300 tons/day in Guizhou, and decreased slightly to 1535 tons/day in Guangxi [32].
