1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided 2. Core Views of the Report - In 2026, at the crucial start of the 15th Five - Year Plan, the central bank will use reserve requirement ratio and interest rate cuts flexibly and efficiently, continue expansionary fiscal policies to boost domestic demand, integrate technological innovation with industrial upgrading, promote green energy transformation and upgrading, and pursue high - quality development. In December 2025, China's manufacturing PMI returned to the expansion range, high - tech manufacturing profit growth accelerated, and CPI increased by 0.8% year - on - year, showing signs of stabilizing and recovering domestic demand [3][50]. - On the supply side, the operating rate in Xinjiang remains at 80%, but some enterprises have routine maintenance and production cuts at the beginning of the year. Production in Sichuan and Yunnan drops significantly during the dry season, and production in Gansu and Inner Mongolia is generally stable. The supply shows a marginal decline, and social inventory is at a high level [3][50]. - On the demand side, anti - monopoly supervision in the polysilicon industry dampens market sentiment. Under the background of silicon wafer price cuts to reduce inventory, both volume and price continue to weaken. Battery manufacturers face increased cost pressure due to rising silver prices and their price - increase attempts are resisted by downstream customers. Component leaders mostly produce based on sales, gradually increasing production cuts to reduce inventory backlogs. Demand for centralized projects shows marginal cooling at the end of the year, with most projects on hold or postponed. Traditional industries such as organic silicon and aluminum alloy face downward consumption pressure. It is expected that in January 2026, the demand side will face downward pressure in the off - season, and the anti - monopoly policy in polysilicon may drag down consumer confidence. Overall, the industrial silicon price in January 2026 is expected to fluctuate weakly within a range, with the price center likely to move down compared to December [3][37][50]. 3.
