1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided on the report industry investment rating 2. Core Viewpoints - The silicon price has adjusted downward due to cooling sentiment and hedging pressure on the disk, but the bullish sentiment has been fluctuating recently, and it is expected that the silicon price will remain in a high - level consolidation. The price of polysilicon has continued to rise since the end of June due to supply - side reform expectations and spot price increases, and although the sentiment has weakened recently, it is still volatile. It is expected that the price will remain in a high - level consolidation with large fluctuations in the disk, and operations should be cautious [1] 3. Summary by Related Content Industrial Silicon - **Price Changes**: The average price of industrial silicon non - oxygen - passing 553 (East China) remained flat at 9,200 yuan/ton, and the average price of 421 (East China) industrial silicon remained flat at 9,750 yuan/ton. The closing price of the futures main contract dropped 2.27% to 8,605 yuan/ton [1] - **Supply - side**: As the silicon price continues to rise, some previously shut - down silicon plants in Xinjiang have resumed production. The southwest production area has entered the wet season, power costs have decreased, and enterprise start - up rates have steadily increased. It is expected that some silicon furnaces will restart in August, and the supply will increase steadily [1] - **Demand - side**: Polysilicon enterprises maintain a production - cut situation, and some silicon material plants have复产 arrangements, which will bring some demand increments. An organic silicon manufacturer has stopped production for rectification due to an accident, and the supply has tightened temporarily. Recently, monomer plant enterprises have recovered, the market supply pressure has increased, and prices may be under pressure again. Silicon - aluminum alloy enterprises purchase as needed, and the downstream's willingness to stock up at low levels is insufficient [1] Polysilicon - **Price Changes**: The price of N - type dense material remained flat at 46 yuan/kg, the price of N - type re - feeding material remained flat at 47 yuan/kg, the price of N - type mixed material remained flat at 45 yuan/kg, and the price of N - type granular silicon remained flat at 44.5 yuan/kg.
