工业硅：供需矛盾难解成本支撑减弱，硅价延续弱势

Report Summary 1. Industry Investment Rating No industry investment rating is provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoint The current supply - demand contradiction of industrial silicon is difficult to resolve. As the southwest production area is about to enter the flat and wet seasons in June, the cost support will weaken, and the silicon price will continue to be weak [1]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Market Conditions - On the previous day, the industrial silicon market price was weakly stable. The supply side remained stable for the time being, and some manufacturers intended to cut production. The price of East China oxygen - passing 553 silicon was 9,500 - 9,800 yuan/ton, and that of East China 421 silicon was 10,200 - 10,600 yuan/ton. The closing price of the main contract Si2506 of industrial silicon futures was 8,800, down 0.73%, with a reduction of 5,009 lots. The current position was 188,100 lots, and the trading volume was 7.78 billion yuan [1]. Supply Side - Some manufacturers intended to conduct maintenance, and the overall supply might decline. The industrial silicon operation in Gansu production area was relatively stable. The price of 97 silicon had fallen below 9,000 yuan/ton, and the operation rate was at a low level. The current quotation of medium - frequency furnace 3303 silicon was 10,100 - 10,200 yuan/ton, and some medium - frequency furnaces were waiting and watching, with difficult short - term improvement in operation [1]. Demand Side - The price of polysilicon declined. Under the retreat of demand, components started to compete at low prices for shipment, intensifying the negative feedback in the industrial chain. The price pressure in each link was gradually transmitted upwards. Under the pressure of lower - than - expected demand and high inventory, the silicon material production cut increased, and the quotation was also lowered. The current quotation of re - feeding material was 36 - 38 yuan/kg, that of dense material was 34 - 37 yuan/kg, that of cauliflower material was 31 - 33 yuan/kg, and that of N - type material was 39 - 41 yuan/kg. The price of organic silicon DMC showed a fluctuating trend, with the market's mainstream opening price referring to 11,300 - 13,000 yuan/ton (net water delivered). Near the holiday, the rigid demand procurement of downstream enterprises was gradually released, the market inquiry activity increased, and the spot transaction showed a warming trend compared with the previous period. However, industry players were not very optimistic about the future market, and it was expected that the organic silicon market would remain weakly stable in the short term. The price of aluminum alloy ingots was weak. The spot market still showed a situation of weak supply and demand, the downstream demand was difficult to improve, both buyers and sellers were mainly waiting and watching cautiously, and the trading volume was low [1]. Inventory - On April 28, the warehouse receipt inventory of industrial silicon was 69,417 lots, with a single - day decrease of 85 lots. The warehouse receipt inventory was still at a high level [1].
