MONTHLY: China's FeSi output grows for 3rd month in May

China's ferrosilicon (FeSi) production rose further during May, with the total volume increasing for the third consecutive month by 19,307 tonnes or 4.1% on month to 486,891 tonnes, the highest since last November, according to Mysteel's monthly survey among the 136 Chinese smelters it tracks.

The sampled smelters host 90% of China's FeSi smelting capacity. On a daily basis, FeSi output among the sampled smelters averaged 15,706 tonnes/day last month, seeing a slight on-month rise of 120 t/d, the findings showed.
