基本面驱动减弱 工业硅短期走势偏空

Group 1 - The core viewpoint of the article indicates that the industrial silicon market is experiencing a rebound in spot prices, but futures prices are weakening due to diminishing fundamental drivers and declining costs [1] - As of early December, the spot price for industrial silicon 553 is between 9400-9500 yuan/ton, while 421 is between 9600-9700 yuan/ton [1] - Industrial silicon production capacity is expected to increase to 7.846 million tons in 2025, a year-on-year growth of 8.94%, but production is projected to decline by 13.13% to 4.0893 million tons [1] Group 2 - The supply of industrial silicon remains elastic, with short-term production entering a seasonal low [1] - The average production cost of industrial silicon has remained around 9100 yuan/ton since July, while spot prices have consistently exceeded this average cost [1] - The total number of industrial silicon furnaces is 796, with an operating rate of 29.90% [1] Group 3 - The demand side lacks incremental growth, with polysilicon production expected to be around 1.32 million tons in 2025, a decrease of 26.67% from 1.8 million tons in 2024 [2] - The expected demand for industrial silicon corresponding to polysilicon production is approximately 1.386 million tons, averaging about 115,500 tons per month [2] - The organic silicon industry is projected to reach a production capacity of 3.5 million tons in 2024, nearly doubling from 1.795 million tons in 2020 [3] Group 4 - Industrial silicon exports showed a high-to-low trend throughout the year, with cumulative exports from January to October at 606,700 tons, a year-on-year decrease of 1.22% [3] - As of early December, the social inventory of industrial silicon is 454,300 tons, a year-on-year increase of 30.62% [3] - The overall inventory of industrial silicon has exceeded 600,000 tons, leading to a long destocking cycle estimated at 1.92 months [3] Group 5 - The industrial silicon market is characterized by significant supply elasticity, lack of demand growth, and weakening cost support, which provides space for price declines [4] - Although spot prices are currently stable, the futures market is showing a bearish trend based on these expectations [4] - Short-term industrial silicon prices are expected to maintain a weak operating pattern [4]
