1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided 2. Core View of the Report - The price of the main contract of polysilicon continued to show high - level oscillations. The spot price provides strong support for the futures price, but the supply - demand balance in the industry requires more policy constraints and guidance. The overall supply - demand remains in a loose pattern. In the short term, the price will maintain a wide - range oscillation, and caution should be exercised regarding the policy exceeding expectations in the capital game [4]. 3.

Report Information - Report Date: August 20, 2025 [2] - Report Type: Pig Daily Report [1] Industry Investment Rating - No relevant information provided. Core Viewpoints - The supply of pigs in August is expected to increase significantly, with high enthusiasm among farmers for selling. Meanwhile, demand is in the off - season, resulting in a relatively loose supply - demand situation, and spot prices may continue to face pressure. In the futures market, the near - month 2509 contract fluctuates weakly following the spot market. In the medium - to - long - term for far - month contracts, although supply shows a slight increase, contracts like 2511 and 2601 are in the peak demand season, and with positive factors such as the anti - involution high - quality development initiative and strengthened environmental protection, the downside space is relatively limited [9].

The current futures price has a premium of over 4,000 yuan over the spot price [12]. - **Main Drivers**: The rise was mainly due to the news that the mining license of Qinghai Xitai Jinaier Salt Lake of CITIC Guoan expired, and short - term disturbances in the resource side were the main cause of lithium price fluctuations [12]. - **Outlook**: The high supply is expected to remain unchanged in the short term, but the market's short - term trading sentiment is still concentrated on the production cuts and suspensions in the lithium resource sector. It is expected that the price of carbonate lithium is likely to rise and difficult to fall [12]. Group 3: Industry News - **Ganfeng Lithium**: On August 18, Ganfeng Lithium stated on the interactive platform that the future reversal of lithium prices depends on the intensity of supply - side clearance and the pace of demand growth.

Report Information - Date: August 19, 2025 [2] Market Performance and Outlook - The main contract price of polysilicon continued to show high-level volatility. The closing price of PS2509 was 52,280 yuan/ton, with a gain of 1.71%. The trading volume was 425,548 lots, and the open interest was 135,517 lots, a net decrease of 3,206 lots [4] - The photovoltaic enterprise symposium has reignited strong policy implementation expectations, but the futures market has already priced in some of these expectations. Further upward movement depends on subsequent policy support. In the second week of August, the average spot price (recycled feedstock) remained stable at 47,500 yuan/ton, providing strong support for the futures price. However, both supply and demand in the fundamentals are increasing, and there is no inventory reduction drive. The Silicon Industry Branch expects the production schedule in September to reach as high as 145,000 tons, and the rebalancing of industry supply and demand still has a long way to go [4] - On the supply side, the polysilicon production schedule in August increased significantly to 125,000 tons, which can roughly meet the downstream cell demand of about 56GW. The monthly production of silicon wafers and cells decreased to around 52GW, and the overall supply-demand pattern remains loose. Overall, the futures and spot prices are supported by policies at the lower end and restricted by supply-demand pressures at the upper end, and are expected to maintain wide-range volatility.
