This week, the domestic ferrosilicon market continued to be weak, both the futures and spot price continued to fall, and the pessimism was strong.

Some manufacturers said that they delivered according to orders and had a small inventory. On June 22, the Silicon Committee of China Ferroalloy Industry Association held the second video meeting in 2022, calling on ferrosilicon enterprises to pay more attention to their own technology and equipment upgrading under the current market environment, form a joint force, orderly overhaul and reduce production, and "getting through the winter" together.

The weekly opening price of 2209 main contract was 8,500, the highest price was 8,554, the lowest price was 8,132, the closing price was 8,306, the settlement price was 8,276, the trading volume was 1,018,155, and the position was 148,927, down 4.59%.

In the downstream, according to the data of CISA, in mid-June 2022, the key iron and steel enterprises produced 22.5789 million tons of crude steel, with a daily output of 2.2579 million tons of crude steel, a month on month decrease of 1.34%. At the end of mid-June, the steel inventory was 20.5232 million tons, an increase of 1.9758 million tons or 10.65% over the previous ten days; An increase of 545800 tons or 2.73% over the same period last month; An increase of 2.5808 million tons or 14.38% over the end of last month; An increase of 9.2264 million tons over the beginning of the year, an increase of 81.67%; An increase of 4.8262 million tons or 30.75% over the same period last year; An increase of 2.6393 million tons or 14.76% over last year's highest point (17.8839 million tons in the first ten days of March).

This week, the domestic metal magnesium market continued to be weak, the downstream mainly purchasing on demand, lacking the support of good news, and the operating pressure remained. Considering that the magnesium price was close to the cost line, and the high temperature and rainy season was coming, some magnesium plants began to arrange maintenance. The plants had a strong willingness to support the price, and it was expected that the steady-state operation would continue in the short term. On Friday, 17th, the mainstream ex-factory cash quotation including tax of 99.9% magnesium ingots was about 25500 yuan per ton.
