Core Viewpoint - The domestic industrial silicon market is experiencing price stability in the spot market, while futures prices have slightly declined, indicating a cautious market sentiment amid conflicting supply and demand expectations [1][2]. Price Trends - The main futures contract closed at 8600 CNY/ton, down from 8700 CNY/ton, reflecting a 1.15% decrease. The national average price remains stable at 9196 CNY/ton, with specific grades priced as follows: 553 at 8764 CNY/ton, 441 at 9174 CNY/ton, and 421 at 9875 CNY/ton. Regional prices include Xinjiang at 8840 CNY/ton, Yunnan at 10020 CNY/ton, and Sichuan at 9900 CNY/ton [1][3]. Market Dynamics - The market is currently in a contradictory state, with government policies providing positive guidance for the medium to long term, while industry expectations for short-term supply and demand remain pessimistic. Major domestic producers are gradually resuming production, with operating rates in Sichuan and Yunnan increasing by 50% and 30%, respectively. However, most production is hedged through futures contracts, limiting immediate sales volume and willingness to lower prices [1][2]. Demand Insights - Although downstream polysilicon and organosilicon companies are increasing their operating rates, their purchasing intentions are low as they anticipate lower prices for procurement [1][2]. Future Outlook - The market is expected to maintain a weak balance with both supply and demand increasing in August, leading to a slight downward trend in prices [2].
