中国铁合金网讯：中国锰矿现货价格回落，BHP锰块价格从90元每吨度回落到80元每吨度，2017年第一季度锰矿期货供应平稳，价格小幅下调。

淡水河谷44%锰块报价9.0美元每吨度，锰粉报价8.5美元每吨度。

由于中国铁合金现货库存量大于需求，锰铁和硅锰的价格近两周出现了回落。

宁夏有三家大型硅锰厂家，硅锰6517报价为8050元/吨，出厂现金含税，比12月初下调了500元/吨。

内蒙古乌兰察布有多家硅锰厂家，硅锰6517报价为8200-8300元/吨，出厂现金含税，比12月初下调了300元/吨。中国铁合金网对内蒙和宁夏进行了实地考察，我们发现所有的硅锰厂都在开工，供应量充足。

再从下游钢厂需求来看，地条钢生产厂家因为环保的原因被关停，对硅锰合金的需求出现了下降。山东和河北的一些钢厂被关停。尽管如此，钢铁的现货价格和期货价格都出现了下跌。这种下行趋势在2017年第1季度将会持续。

Chinese Mn Alloys Market Has Been Going Soft Since Last Two Weeks

[Ferro-Alloys.com] Chinese spot market of Mn ore has already been going down, BHP lumpy high grade Mn ore was down from RMB 90 to RMB 80/mtu, and future shipment in Feb and March is stable but the quotation slides slightly.

Vale, another bigger supplier from Brazil, offered 44% Mn at USD 9.0 for lumpy and UDD8.50/mtu for fines, which it is just offer but not heard any conclusion.

As to FeMn and SiMn market in China, which it has been going soft since last two weeks, due to over stock of ferroalloys.

In Ningxia, west part of China, where it is located three major SiMn plants.

They quoted RMB8050/mt ex work by cash payment, which it is RMB500/mt down than the beginning of Dec.

In Inner Mongolia, many Mn alloys producers located over there in Wulanchabu, price quoted RMB8200-8300 /mt ex work, which it is RMB300/mt down. According to our visit to these areas, we found all plants are operating and the supply is sufficient.

For Steel demands side, steel arc furnaces were stopped due to pollution reason and demands for SiMn and other alloys is decreasing. Other steel plants located in Shandong and Hebei were closed. Even that, steel prices also is going down last week from spot and future market. That down trend already confirmed and will not be changed in 1st Q of 2017.
