Unit: USD/ton
Export prices for Electrolytic Manganese Metal (EMM) 99.70%, mainly traded in flake form, moved slightly lower this period, with both quotations and transaction levels falling by USD 20/MT. The latest FOB reference range is USD 2540–2570/MT, reflecting cautious buying and deal-driven adjustments rather than any major shift in fundamentals.
In my view, this type of decline is usually more about buyer behavior than sudden supply shocks. Many overseas customers are still purchasing, but they're doing it carefully-often in smaller lots-and waiting for clearer signals before committing to larger volumes. Sellers, on the other hand, still have material available, so pricing is being shaped by real transactions rather than firm offers.
What matters most right now is that the market is still trading within a relatively tight band. For procurement teams, watching confirmed deal ranges is more useful than tracking isolated quotations, especially when the movement is only USD 20/MT.
