Core Viewpoint - The industrial silicon market is experiencing weak supply and demand, leading to price fluctuations constrained by cost support and weak demand [1][3]. Supply Side - Production remains stable across major production areas, particularly in Xinjiang, but price differentiation has increased due to volatile futures prices. Some manufacturers are either maintaining high quotes or choosing not to quote at all, while others are selling below market average to improve cash flow [2]. - The operating rates in regions like Inner Mongolia, Sichuan, Yunnan, and Gansu are at low levels due to a prolonged low-price environment, which has suppressed production enthusiasm. Overall transaction volumes remain low despite some attempts to support prices [2]. - The pricing mechanism is becoming more financialized, with a growing trend of using a "futures price + basis" procurement model, enhancing the linkage between spot prices and futures markets [2]. Demand Side - Demand from downstream sectors, particularly the organic silicon and polysilicon industries, is weak, leading to reduced procurement of industrial silicon. The overall support for demand is insufficient, with risks of further demand contraction highlighted by losses across the photovoltaic industry chain [2]. - Although the aluminum alloy market has seen a slight increase in futures prices (from 21,110 yuan/ton to 21,480 yuan/ton), this has not significantly boosted demand for industrial silicon [2]. Market Overview - The industrial silicon market is characterized by weak supply and demand, with inventory accumulation and continued price fluctuations. While supply is supported by costs, slow inventory depletion and reduced downstream production are leading to demand contraction, resulting in price resistance [3]. - Short-term price expectations indicate continued range-bound fluctuations, with future trends heavily dependent on the recovery pace of downstream demand and the progress of inventory depletion [3]. Price Data - As of December 24, the national average price for industrial silicon is 9,245 yuan/ton, reflecting a slight decrease of 5 yuan/ton from the previous week. Specific grades show varied price movements, with 553 at 8,713 yuan/ton (down 94 yuan/ton) and 441 at 9,169 yuan/ton (up 51 yuan/ton) [1][4]. - Regional prices vary, with Xinjiang at 8,810 yuan/ton, Yunnan at 10,005 yuan/ton, and Sichuan at 10,050 yuan/ton [4].

Core Viewpoint - The article highlights a significant increase in silicon wafer prices driven by supply contraction, demand recovery, and rising costs, with specific price changes noted for various types of silicon wafers and solar cells [1][2]. Price Changes - N-type G10L monocrystalline silicon wafer (182*183.75mm/130μm) average transaction price is 1.2 yuan/piece, up 2.56% week-on-week [1][3]. - N-type G12R monocrystalline silicon wafer (182*210mm/130μm) average transaction price is 1.31 yuan/piece, up 9.17% week-on-week [1][3]. - N-type G12 monocrystalline silicon wafer (210*210mm/130μm) average transaction price is 1.52 yuan/piece, up 1.33% week-on-week [1][3]. Market Dynamics - Supply reduction from silicon wafer manufacturers is expected to decrease production by approximately 5% in December compared to November, with companies controlling sales and showing a clear reluctance to sell at low prices [2]. - The significant rise in silver prices has led to an increase in downstream battery prices, with mainstream battery prices rising to 0.31-0.33 yuan/W, up 10.3% week-on-week [1][2]. - Despite the increase in silicon wafer prices, overall transaction volume remains limited due to cautious procurement strategies from component manufacturers and a lack of clear recovery in end-user demand [2]. Production Rates - The overall operating rate in the silicon wafer industry remains stable, with leading companies operating at rates of 50% and 48%, while integrated companies operate between 50% and 70% [2]. - If price transmission within the industry chain proceeds smoothly, the silicon wafer market is expected to continue its positive trend by the end of the month [2].

Core Viewpoint - The domestic polysilicon market has experienced a slight price increase, ending a three-month period of stability, driven by supply-side adjustments and demand recovery [1][2]. Group 1: Market Price Trends - The transaction price range for n-type polysilicon is between 50,000 - 56,000 CNY/ton, with an average price of 53,900 CNY/ton, reflecting a week-on-week increase of 1.32% [1][3]. - The average transaction price for n-type granular silicon remains stable at 50,500 CNY/ton, with no change from the previous week [1][3]. - The increase in polysilicon prices is attributed to three main factors: supply-side production cuts, rising production costs, and the need for price stability across the supply chain [1]. Group 2: Supply and Demand Dynamics - The supply side continues to show a strong reduction atmosphere, with leading companies cutting production more than expected, keeping overall operating rates low [2]. - Downstream demand is supported by a slight recovery in silicon wafer prices and rigid procurement needs from battery and module sectors, although a full recovery in end-demand is still pending [2]. - Current inventory levels remain high, but there is no significant accumulation expected in the short term, indicating a balance between production and demand [2]. Group 3: Market Outlook - The recent slight increase in polysilicon prices and moderate transaction volume indicate a gradual recovery of market confidence [2]. - It is anticipated that the polysilicon market may achieve stability in both volume and price in the short term due to proactive supply tightening and smoother price transmission downstream [2].
