工业硅、多晶硅日评：工业硅上方压力较强，多晶硅波动加剧-20250520

Report Summary 1. Industry Investment Rating - No industry investment rating is provided in the report. 2. Core View - The silicon market has a situation of strong supply and weak demand, with high inventory pressure. The industrial silicon market is expected to maintain a weak trend in the short - term, and the polysilicon price volatility will intensify [1]. 3. Summary by Related Content Price Changes - On May 20, 2025, the average price of industrial silicon non - oxygenated 553 (East China) dropped 1.67% to 8,850 yuan/ton, and the 421 (East China) dropped 1.50% to 9,850 yuan/ton. The futures main contract closing price dropped 0.18% to 8,130 yuan/ton. N - type polysilicon material dropped 1.33% to 37 yuan/kg, while the futures main contract closing price rose 0.81% to 37,150 yuan/ton [1]. Industry News - Imported sand high - price decreased to 110,000 yuan/ton, down 5,000 yuan/ton from last week's high, and is expected to decline further. On May 8, the 350 - ton high - dispersion ultra - fine silver powder production line of Dongfang Jingcai was put into operation, which will fill the gap in domestic high - end silver powder production [1]. Fundamental Analysis of Industrial Silicon - In April, due to production cuts in Xinjiang, industrial silicon production decreased to about 300,000 tons. In May, production is expected to increase slightly due to the resumption of production in Southwest China and new capacity ramping up, but the increase will be limited. Demand from polysilicon, organic silicon, and silicon - aluminum alloy industries is weak, and the overall demand for industrial silicon is expected to decline [1]. Investment Strategy for Industrial Silicon - The silicon market has strong supply and weak demand with high inventory. It is expected to maintain a weak trend in the short - term, with an operating range of 8,000 - 10,000 yuan/ton. It is recommended to short on rebounds [1]. Fundamental Analysis of Polysilicon - Polysilicon enterprises maintain production cuts, and the resumption may be postponed. The photovoltaic market is weak, with rising inventories of silicon wafers, silicon materials, and falling prices of silicon wafers, cells, and components [1]. Investment Strategy for Polysilicon - Recently, the polysilicon price rebounded due to delivery factors and supply - side reform news, but then fell again. In the short - term, the weak fundamentals conflict with delivery factors, causing intensified price fluctuations. It is necessary to continue to monitor the evolution of "high positions and low warehouse receipts" [1].
