This has kept spot trading subdued despite lower ore offers.<\/p>\n<p>Competitive supply pressures exporters:\u00a0Consistent shipments from Gabon, South Africa and Australia have maintained comfortable ore availability in China. With supply outpacing near-term demand, exporters are increasingly adjusting prices to protect market share and encourage fresh bookings.<\/p>\n<p>Outlook:<\/p>\n<p>Comilog&#8217;s monthly quotations are closely tracked as a benchmark for high-grade manganese ore. The latest reduction is expected to weigh on spot market sentiment, while any sustained price recovery will depend on stronger alloy production, improved steel demand, and a pickup in restocking activity during the upcoming peak season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Need-based buying keeps manganese ore trade subdued Ample seaborne supply intensifies exporter competition Eramet Comilog,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":74418,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[313],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-74417","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-iron-steel"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Untitled-design-74-7.jpg?fit=1280%2C720&ssl=1?v=1785410744",1280,720,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Untitled-design-74-7.jpg?resize=150%2C150&ssl=1?v=1785410744",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Untitled-design-74-7.jpg?fit=300%2C169&ssl=1?v=1785410744",300,169,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Untitled-design-74-7.jpg?fit=640%2C360&ssl=1?v=1785410744",640,360,true],"large":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Untitled-design-74-7.jpg?fit=640%2C360&ssl=1?v=1785410744",640,360,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Untitled-design-74-7.jpg?fit=1280%2C720&ssl=1?v=1785410744",1280,720,true],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Untitled-design-74-7.jpg?fit=1280%2C720&ssl=1?v=1785410744",1280,720,true],"covernews-slider-full":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Untitled-design-74-7.jpg?resize=1115%2C715&ssl=1?v=1785410744",1115,715,true],"covernews-slider-center":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Untitled-design-74-7.jpg?resize=800%2C500&ssl=1?v=1785410744",800,500,true],"covernews-featured":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Untitled-design-74-7.jpg?fit=1024%2C576&ssl=1?v=1785410744",1024,576,true],"covernews-medium":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Untitled-design-74-7.jpg?resize=540%2C340&ssl=1?v=1785410744",540,340,true],"covernews-medium-square":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Untitled-design-74-7.jpg?resize=400%2C250&ssl=1?v=1785410744",400,250,true]},"author_info":{"display_name":"Biz Trend 24","author_link":"https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/author\/online24"},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/?cat=313&#038;lang=en\" rel=\"category\">Iron &amp; Steel<\/a>","tag_info":"Iron &amp; Steel","comment_count":0,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Untitled-design-74-7.jpg?fit=1280%2C720&ssl=1?v=1785410744","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":71531,"url":"https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/?p=71531&lang=en","url_meta":{"origin":74417,"position":0},"title":"India: Imported manganese ore slips w-o-w on weaker alloy prices, softer miner offers","author":"Biz Trend 24","date":"July 12, 2026","format":false,"excerpt":"Demand from alloy producers softens amid sluggish steel market Eramet reduces August manganese ore offers by $0.08\/dmtu m-o-m Imported manganese ore prices edged down in the week ending 11 July 2026, pressured by weaker manganese alloy prices amid subdued demand in both domestic and export markets.
