How to Invest in Manganese Stocks (Updated 2024)

Manganese is an important industrial metal. More than 90 percent of global consumption is closely tied to the steel and construction sectors, and China is a major consumer of the commodity.

The metal is also used in the most common form of lithium-ion batteries, ones using nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) cathodes.

Despite its solid demand base, the manganese price has been a victim of volatility in the past few years. COVID-19 lockdowns, extreme weather events and Russia's war in Ukraine slowed manganese production, leading to price surges. However, more recently China's slower economic recovery has tamped down on steel demand, placing downward pressure on manganese prices.
