Launch of China domestic green ferro-manganese prices

The prices reflect the rising need for green ferro-manganese prices in China, and increasing demand by smelters for green pricing mechanisms while China ramps up the decarbonization of the steel supply chain to meet global steel demand.

Fastmarkets’ green ferroalloy domestic, ferro-manganese differential, will be assessed every week against Fastmarkets’ established China ferro-manganese price assessment.

The inferred price will be calculated by adding the green ferro-manganese differential on top of the weekly China ferro-manganese price assessment to provide transparency.

The price specifications are as follows:
