• The spot price moved higher for the first time in three weeks, hitting a record high.
• Suppliers increased offer prices amid new tenders issued by steel mills, with one tender of more than 2,000 tonnes for delivery in the fourth quarter expected to be agreed at around €1,900 per tonne. Two European producers are competing for the tender, sources said. Another tender issued by a German steelmaker for 200 tonnes was also expected to be settled in the next few days, although there was no estimated price by industry sources.
• Steel mills wanting ferro-silicon for October delivery next month will likely be forced to pay more than €1,900 per tonne due to European production being allocated mostly for fourth-quarter settlements.
• Low levels of exports are being made available from traditional suppliers in Brazil, Malaysia and Egypt, while Ukrainian production has been increasing slowly and is mostly being sold to Eastern Europe and Italy.
• European suppliers are also being tempted to sell into the US market, which is at least $3,000 per tonne (€2,567) in-warehouse.

現貨價格三週以來首次走高，創歷史新高。
在鋼廠發布新標書的情況下，供應商提高了報價，其中一份將於第四季度交付的超過 2,000 噸的標書預計以每噸 1,900 歐元左右的價格達成一致。消息人士稱，兩家歐洲生產商正在競標。另一家德國鋼鐵製造商發出的 200 噸招標也有望在未來幾天內完成，儘管行業消息人士沒有估計價格。
由於歐洲生產主要用於第四季度結算，希望下個月 10 月交貨的鋼廠可能被迫支付每噸 1,900 歐元以上的價格。
巴西、馬來西亞和埃及的傳統供應商的出口量較低，而烏克蘭的產量增長緩慢，主要銷往東歐和意大利。
歐洲供應商也很想向美國市場銷售產品，美國市場的庫存價格至少為每噸 3,000 美元（2,567 歐元）
