According to the investigation of www.ferro-alloys.com，electrolytic manganese metal (EMM) market in Europe was still high.

In India, most of silicon barium materials are imported from China. The mainstream imported price of SiBa in August was as follows, SiBa1-3# was at USD1700-1720/mt CIF, SiBa4-6# price was at USD1650/mt CIF and SiBa9-11# price was at USD1740-1750/mt.

Demand for manganese and silicon alloys has been sluggish in the Japan's market in late August. Indian SiMn (65% Mn; 16% Si) has gone down in price to $1，050-1，080/t CIF Japan (down $25/t)，

In recent period, prices for manganese and silicon alloys have been largely unchanged in the USA. SiMn (65% Mn; 17% Si) is sold in small batches at $0.58-0.60/lb ($1，280-1，325/t) DDP

China raised exports of noble alloys in July. Shipments of ferrovanadium rose by 21% to 628 t. Sales to Europe totalled 260 t (up more than 2 times), those to Japan ? 130 t (up 30%), and to South Korea ? 96 t (large unchanged).

Recently, Hebei Iron & Steel Group Tanggang Stainless Steel Company reached an agreement with Yehui Technology Company Limited and signed the export contract of 2500 tonnes J55 oil pipeline steel.

This week, molybdenum oxide (60% Mo) has been available in India at about $13.35/lb Mo CIF. Ferrovanadium (80% V) is priced at some $26.75/kg V CIF. The material is at the stocks in Rotterdam.
