Group 1: Report's Investment Rating - No investment rating for the industry is provided in the report. Group 2: Core View of the Report - The current market bottoming signal for industrial silicon is unclear. Social inventory and the number of warehouse receipts suppress the rebound height, and silicon prices are expected to continue to run sluggishly [1]. Group 3: Summary by Relevant Aspects Market Conditions - On May 8, 2025, the industrial silicon spot market was weak. The price of East China oxygenated 553 silicon was 9000 - 9300 yuan/ton, and that of East China 421 silicon was 9900 - 10200 yuan/ton. The closing price of the industrial silicon futures main contract si2506 was 8315, down 0.36%, with a single - day reduction of 1671 lots, current positions of 181,100 lots, and a trading volume of 16.375 billion yuan. The si2506 showed a "V" - shaped trend on that day [1]. Supply Side - In the southwest region, as the wet season approaches, due to low prices and expanding industry losses, the enthusiasm for enterprise resumption is significantly lower than in previous years, with only partial capacity slowly releasing. In the northwest region, the operating rate remains high, and the supply pressure is not relieved. The current market price has fallen below the cash cost of most factories, the industry's loss - making area has expanded, but due to previous hedging and forward price locking, the production reduction is limited, and the capacity adjustment cycle is lengthened. The de - stocking process is slow. Although the prices of silica and reducing agents in the southwest region have slightly declined, cost support cannot offset the downward pressure on prices [1]. Demand Side - Polysilicon prices are temporarily stable, the supply - demand game has deepened, and the mentality of enterprise production reduction is brewing but not yet concentrated. Organic silicon DMC prices are stable, with the market's mainstream opening price at 11500 - 12000 yuan/ton (net water delivered). Terminal demand is weak, factories frequently reduce production and conduct maintenance. Although the DMC price has a slight rebound, orders are mainly from pre - holiday inventory digestion, and post - holiday market transactions have weakened. Aluminum alloy ingot prices have fallen, the industry's operating rate has been adjusted down, and downstream enterprises mainly consume pre - holiday orders and have insufficient willingness to stock up after the holiday [1]. Inventory - On May 8, the industrial silicon warehouse receipt inventory was 68,415 lots, a single - day decrease of 271 lots. The warehouse receipt inventory has been decreasing recently but remains at a high level [1].
