Manganese market gradually improves while buyers return to the market to replenish some stocks or place some orders. Sources reported that many suppliers raise their offers very quickly but buyers are unwilling to accept a price above USD2,900/t in warehouse Rotterdam.

A European trader reported to Asian Metal that manganese price follows after the price in China goes up and the current offer is above USD2,900/t CIF Rotterdam while suppliers have raised their prices to about USD3,000/t for prompt delivery, up from about USD2,850/t late last month. The source feels suppliers are optimistic about the future market as they think manganese supply stays low and more buyers would start to replenish stocks.

"However, there is not much good news from the demand side for the moment while consumers only purchase in small quantities and feel not ready to accept the current high price," said the source. Meanwhile, the supply expects manganese supply to improve and this would hinder the price from going up further in both Chinese and European market.
