Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints - The overall demand for industrial silicon from its three major downstream industries remains flat. Although the inventory is high and there is pressure to digest it, the industrial silicon price showed an upward trend after rising and falling today, and it is expected to have upward momentum in the future. It is recommended to build long positions on dips [2]. 3.

The number of newly opened furnaces in Sichuan, Yunnan and other places continues to rise, while some large factories in Xinjiang maintain a stable production rhythm. However, some small and medium - sized silicon plants in Xinjiang have low enthusiasm for resuming production due to compressed profit margins, so the overall output in Xinjiang remains relatively stable. The supply side shows a regional differentiation trend of "steady production increase in the northwest and capacity shrinkage in the southwest" [2]. - Demand Side: In the organic silicon market, the downward trend and reduced profits lead to a decline in the expected production increase, having a negative impact on the demand for industrial silicon. In the polysilicon segment, the inventory and operating rate are rising, increasing the demand for industrial silicon. However, the limited price increase in the downstream and the expected contraction of photovoltaic industry demand in the long run may limit the continuous growth of polysilicon's demand for industrial silicon. In the aluminum alloy segment, the inventory is rising, the price is increasing, the operating situation is stable, but the demand is average, with limited pulling effect on industrial silicon [2].
