硅供应收缩预期强化，新能源金属价格走势趋强

Report's Overall Investment Rating Not provided Core Viewpoints - The expectation of silicon supply contraction is strengthening, and the price trend of new energy metals is becoming stronger. The central financial meeting has re - emphasized the orderly elimination of backward production capacity, enhancing investors' expectation of supply - side contraction in the silicon market, and the market sentiment has turned optimistic [2]. - In the short - to - medium term, the strengthened expectation of supply - side contraction has led to a significant increase in the prices of industrial silicon and polysilicon, which has a positive impact on lithium carbonate. In the long term, low prices may accelerate the elimination of domestic self - priced production capacity, but lithium carbonate still faces the problem of long - term over - supply if there is no substantial reduction in lithium ore production [2]. Summary by Catalog I. Market Views 1. Industrial Silicon - Viewpoint: Market sentiment is fluctuating, and silicon prices are oscillating. The medium - term outlook is also oscillating [7]. - Information Analysis: - As of July 7, the spot prices of industrial silicon have slightly rebounded. The price of oxygen - containing 553 in East China is 8750 yuan/ton, and 421 in East China is 9050 yuan/ton [7]. - As of June 2025, the monthly output of industrial silicon was 327,000 tons, a month - on - month increase of 6.5% and a year - on - year decrease of 27.7%. The cumulative production from January to June was 1.872 million tons, a year - on - year decrease of 17.8% [7]. - In May, the export volume of industrial silicon was 55,652 tons, a month - on - month decrease of 8.0% and a year - on - year decrease of 22.5%. The cumulative export from January to May was 272,382 tons, a year - on - year decrease of 10.3% [7]. - The new photovoltaic installed capacity in May was 92.9GW, a month - on - month increase of 105.5% and a year - on - year increase of 388.0%. The cumulative new photovoltaic installed capacity from January to May was 197.9GW, a year - on - year increase of 150.0% [7]. - The central financial meeting and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology emphasized the governance of low - price and disorderly competition in the industry and the orderly withdrawal of backward production capacity [7]. - Main Logic: The sudden production cut of large northwest factories has supported prices. If the production cut scope expands, the supply - demand situation in July may improve marginally; otherwise, the supply surplus pressure remains. The resumption of production in the southwest is slower than in previous years, but with the price rebound, some silicon factories have resumed production. The demand side is still weak, and the inventory has slightly decreased this week, but there is a possibility of re - accumulation [8]. - Outlook: The fundamental surplus pattern of industrial silicon remains unchanged. The price rebound is mainly driven by policy expectations, and the silicon price is expected to oscillate [8]. 2. Polysilicon - Viewpoint: The anti - involution policy is taking effect, and polysilicon prices are oscillating and rebounding. The medium - term outlook is wide - range oscillation [8]. - Information Analysis: - The成交 price range of N - type re -投料 is 34,000 - 38,000 yuan/ton, with an average price of 34,700 yuan/ton, a month - on - month increase of 0.87% [8]. - The latest number of polysilicon warehouse receipts on the Guangzhou Futures Exchange is 2780 lots, unchanged from the previous value [9]. - In May, China's polysilicon export volume was about 2097.6 tons, a month - on - month increase of 66.2% and a year - on - year decrease of 30%. The cumulative export from January to May was 9167.32 tons, a year - on - year increase of 6.68%. The import volume in May was about 793 tons, a month - on - month decrease of 16.9%. The cumulative import from January to May was 10,000 tons, a year - on - year decrease of 42.72% [9]. - From January to May 2025, the cumulative new domestic photovoltaic installed capacity was 197.85GW, a year - on - year increase of 150% [9]. - The central financial meeting emphasized the governance of low - price and disorderly competition [10]. - Main Logic: The supply - side news in the silicon industry chain has been fluctuating. The polysilicon futures price has rebounded due to the policy. The production capacity in the southwest has increased with the arrival of the wet season, and the production in June - July is expected to exceed 100,000 tons. The photovoltaic installed capacity has increased significantly from January to May, but it has over - drawn the demand for the second half of the year, and the downstream product prices have started to fall [10]. - Outlook: The demand for polysilicon may weaken after the end of the photovoltaic rush - installation in the second half of the year, but the anti - involution policy may cause large fluctuations in the supply side. The polysilicon price is expected to show wide - range oscillation [10]. 3. Lithium Carbonate - Viewpoint: A large number of warehouse receipts have been cancelled, and the trend of lithium carbonate is strong. The medium - term outlook is oscillation [11]. - Information Analysis: - On July 7, the closing price of the lithium carbonate main contract increased by 0.6% to 63,660 yuan. The total open interest of lithium carbonate contracts decreased by 1661 lots to 591,177 lots [11]. - On July 7, the spot price of SMM battery - grade lithium carbonate increased by 250 yuan to 62,550 yuan/ton, and the industrial - grade lithium carbonate price increased by 250 yuan to 60,950 yuan/ton. The average price of lithium spodumene concentrate (6% CIF China) was 660 US dollars/ton, equivalent to 61,600 yuan/ton of lithium carbonate. The warehouse receipts decreased by 5481 tons to 15,555 tons [11]. - On July 4, Zangge Mining's subsidiary received a construction permit [11]. - Main Logic: The "anti - involution" sentiment in the market is fermenting, and smelters are under maintenance. The weekly production has slightly decreased, and domestic lithium ore production is increasing while imported lithium salts are expected to decline. The demand for cathode materials has been growing from January to June, and the demand in July is expected to be better than expected. The social inventory is still increasing, and the warehouse - receipt inventory has been decreasing [12]. - Outlook: The supply - demand situation remains in surplus, but the reduction of warehouse receipts in the short term supports the price. The price is expected to oscillate [12]. II. Market Monitoring - Not provided with specific content for summary
