Market Notes
Two consecutive upward adjustments-first a modest move yesterday, followed by a stronger rise today-signal firmer short-term sentiment in the export market. A key point for buyers is that transaction ranges matched the quoted ranges on both days, which typically suggests that higher levels are being accepted in real negotiations rather than remaining as unconfirmed asking prices.
In practical procurement, buyers should track not only the absolute price range, but also whether transactions continue to clear within the updated band. When both quotation and transaction levels move in parallel, it often indicates that the market is repricing due to shifting cost and supply-demand conditions.
Short-Term Outlook
If transaction prices continue to follow the higher quotation range, electrolytic manganese flakes may remain firm in the near term. Buyers with regular consumption may consider aligning purchases with production schedules and shipment windows to manage cost fluctuations, while confirming purity level, impurity controls, and packaging requirements before booking.
