  1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided 2. Core View of the Report - The supply of industrial silicon sees concurrent reduction in the southwest and increase in the northwest; the demand from polysilicon is highly uncertain, while the demand from silicone and aluminum alloy is relatively stable; cost provides support for prices, while high inventory restricts the upward price movement. The industrial silicon price showed an upward trend today, with the overall price remaining high. Currently, the cost is maintained at 8,800 - 9,000 yuan/ton. It is expected that industrial silicon will rely on cost support, and it is recommended to buy on dips [2] 3.

In terms of industrial silicon, from the fundamental perspective, on the supply side, Sichuan and Yunnan are transitioning from the wet season to the dry season in October, leading to an increase in manufacturers' production costs. Some enterprises with exhausted raw materials have chosen to stop production. As November approaches, the scale of production cuts during the dry season is expected to further expand. In Xinjiang, with stable and low - cost power supply, some manufacturers are actively investing in production, increasing the number of open furnaces and continuously releasing production capacity. On the demand side, the downstream of industrial silicon is mainly concentrated in the silicone, polysilicon, and aluminum alloy fields [2] 3.7 Viewpoint Summary - In the silicone segment, the inventory is lower than the historical average. The production profit of silicone has slightly rebounded but is still in the loss range, providing a certain rigid - demand procurement support for industrial silicon. Currently, most silicone manufacturers still have some pre - sold orders, and there are many maintenance manufacturers, with some planning to enter maintenance, which maintains the demand for industrial silicon to a certain extent. In the polysilicon segment, the inventory is as high as 278,300 tons, higher than the historical average. The price of silicon wafers is flat, and the price of solar cells is falling. The downstream transmission is not smooth, and leading enterprises have maintenance expectations, so there is a risk of weakening demand support for industrial silicon in the future. In the aluminum alloy segment, the operating rate of aluminum alloy enterprises remains stable, and the demand for industrial silicon remains high. The demand performance is relatively stable, but in terms of marginal effect, the pulling effect on the price of industrial silicon is limited [2]
