Ferrosilicon futures fluctuated upward this week, and the spot market was weak and stable, most downstream purchases were cautious, and few transactions at high prices. At present, the ferrosilicon supply side remained stable and the production was normal. The output was expected to reach 550000 tons in March. However, many manufacturers still said that especially 75# ferrosilicon had a large contract volume, and the overseas demand situation was still good. Since March, due to the implementation of control in many places, the transportation was limited, and some silica enterprises in some production areas have begun to stop work, which may have an impact on the ferrosilicon production end; In addition, relevant policies of semi-coke also need real-time attention.

Downstream, according to data of CISA, in mid-March 2022, the daily output of key iron and steel enterprises was 2.0493 million tons, an increase of 4.61% month on month; the steel inventory of key iron and steel enterprises was 17.1249 million tons, an increase of 442900 tons or 2.66% over the previous ten days; An increase of 1.0242 million tons or 6.36% over the end of last month; An increase of 221400 tons or 1.31% over the same period last month; An increase of 5.828 million tons over the beginning of the year, an increase of 51.59%; 384000 tons less than the same period last year, a decrease of 2.19%. At present, there are many uncertain factors in the domestic steel market. Although some steel mills began to overhaul and reduce production due to insufficient supply of raw materials due to limited transportation, the overall supply was still expected to rebound; Moreover, the overseas order situation was good, the steel mills were confident, and the short-term steel market may operate with strong shocks.

This week, the domestic metal magnesium market operated stably, which was also affected by transportation constraints and delivery difficulties; there were few overall transactions. The downstream demand was weak and the favorable factors were few. The factories considered the impact of environmental protection policies and had a strong willingness to stabilize the price. The supply and demand sides were still in the game, and the short-term magnesium market may continue to be stable. On Friday, the ex-factory cash quotation including tax of 99.9% magnesium ingots in Fugu area was about 40000-41000 yuan per ton.
