Ferromolybdenum prices have risen sharply: Alloys (60-70% Mo) are being offered at $43-43.5/kg Mo FCA Rotterdam, compared to $39.5-40.5/kg Mo FCA Rotterdam a week ago. Market participants reported that prices were changing daily, with prices above $42/kg Mo on Friday, while quotes on Monday fell back to $40/kg Mo. During the week, however, the price momentum was strong, with quotes rising daily....

Since the beginning of the year, demand for Chinese ferrosilicon has grown significantly amid the European energy crisis, and later because of economic sanctions against Russia, another major supplier, making the Chinese material more attractive.Hainan West Asia ferrosilicon exports on the rapid growth. ...

Ferrosilicon with a silicon content of 75% is the most abundant ferrosilicon variety in China at present. Normally the product will not be significantly pulverized after being placed for several months. From the production practice of many manufacturers, pulverization mostly occurs in ultra-thick (ferrosilicon casting thickness over 100mm), ferrosilicon products with low silicon content and high impurity content (Si<72%, AI, P, Ca, etc. high impurity content)....

China's SiMn output continued to recover last week, with the daily output among the country's 121 smelters under regular survey strengthening for the third straight week by another 425 tonnes/day on week to 21,195 t/d on average over September 2-8. The sampled smelters account for almost all of China's SiMn smelting capacity. ...

Under the strict constraints of global carbon emissions, the new production capacity of industrial silicon (silicon metal)is constrained, and the opening power is also significantly affected.SMEs are gradually eliminated, and the proportion of leading enterprises has increased. In terms of downstream demand, the global photovoltaic industry will become an important energy highlight for countries in the next few decades, and the corresponding poly silicon demand is expected to maintain a high growth rate. With the growth of the global economy, the demand for silicone will also increase steadily. ...

Manufacturers have raised their quotations since last week, and they have already raised prices as early as the beginning of August. However, given the current unstable situation, Chinese silicon metal exporters intend to wait and see the market. At present,China's silicon metal 441 price has in creased by US$50 from the beginning of this week, as producers raise prices, exporters have to raise prices accordingly, professional expect China's silicon metal export prices to risein the coming week....
