华泰期货：基本面维持弱势，双硅同步下跌

Core Viewpoint - Industrial silicon and polysilicon markets are experiencing price fluctuations, with industrial silicon prices showing a slight decline and polysilicon prices also decreasing, influenced by supply and demand dynamics and recent policy changes in the photovoltaic sector [2][5][7]. Supply Side - Industrial silicon futures prices have shown a downward trend, with the main contract closing at 8635 yuan/ton, down 145 yuan/ton or 1.65% from the previous day [2]. - The supply of industrial silicon remains stable, with prices for various grades holding steady across multiple regions, including East China and Xinjiang [2][13]. - As of January 8, the total social inventory of industrial silicon in major regions was 552,000 tons, a decrease of 0.9% from the previous week [13]. Demand Side - The demand for polysilicon is expected to rise due to the recent cancellation of the export tax rebate policy for photovoltaic products, although the actual impact may not be felt until April when the policy takes effect [3][7]. - The operating rate of aluminum-silicon alloy enterprises has slightly decreased, and the demand for aluminum alloys is showing marginal weakness [3][7]. Price Outlook - Industrial silicon prices are expected to maintain a range-bound fluctuation, supported by cost factors and production cut expectations, while the extent of price increases will depend on downstream demand recovery and inventory reduction [4][14]. - Polysilicon futures prices have also shown a decline, with the main contract closing at 49005 yuan/ton, down 4.45% from the previous trading day [5][18]. Market Strategy - The recent policy changes in the photovoltaic industry may lead to short-term spikes in polysilicon demand, but the long-term effects could involve overshooting demand [7][18]. - The overall market sentiment is weak, with a recommendation to maintain a cautious stance in the short term and consider short positions in the medium to long term [7][18].
