New furnaces were opened in Xinjiang, Sichuan, Gansu, and Ningxia. The SMM industrial silicon social inventory decreased by 0.20 million tons, and the sample factory inventory increased by 0.11 million tons. Xinjiang's large factories have further复产 plans. Considering the remaining time of the wet season, the later - stage increase in southern production is limited. Downstream maintains rigid demand procurement. In July, the industrial silicon balance sheet showed a de - stocking of about 30,000 tons. In August, the supply side is expected to have a marginal increase of about 40,000 tons, but due to the large - scale复产 of polysilicon, industrial silicon may still de - stock [12] 3.2.2 Organic Silicon - This week, the price of organic silicon fluctuated downward. The production load of monomer factories remained stable. Hesheng's Sichuan plant plans to resume production. The overall enterprise operating rate was 77.7%, the weekly output was 51,400 tons, a 0.39% increase, and the inventory was 48,500 tons, a 2.97% increase. Terminal demand has not improved substantially, and the price is expected to be weak [12][13] 3.2.3 Polysilicon - This week, the main contract of polysilicon futures fluctuated strongly. Spot trading changed little. The factory inventory increased by 0.9 million tons to 242,000 tons. Although the price limit has been implemented, production cuts have not started. The output in August is expected to reach 125,000 - 130,000 tons, resulting in a monthly surplus of 20,000 tons. Terminal demand is weak, but the futures market is more affected by policies and news [13] 3.2.4 Silicon Wafers - This week, the price of silicon wafers was stable overall, with some models slightly decreasing. The inventory increased by 0.69GW to 19.80GW. The production schedule in August is 53GW. Terminal demand is weak, but silicon wafer manufacturers have a strong willingness to support prices. In the short term, the price may fluctuate and may decline later [14] 3.2.5 Battery Cells - This week, the price of battery cells was stable. The inventory increased by 1.12GW to 4.98GW. The production schedule in August is about 58GW. The price increase of battery cells was not smoothly transmitted to the component link. With the possible extension of the component export tax - refund cancellation policy, the price of battery cells is expected to decline [15] 3.2.6 Components - This week, the price of components fluctuated. The price of centralized projects showed signs of loosening, and the distributed spot price was temporarily stalemate. The production schedule is 45GW. Overseas demand decreased due to the possible policy extension. Domestic centralized power stations are still waiting and watching. The market logic may put pressure on component prices, and policy support is needed [16] 3.3 Investment Recommendations 3.3.1 Industrial Silicon - Based on the reality of Xinjiang's large factories'复产 falling short of expectations and the large - scale increase in polysilicon production, the fundamentals of industrial silicon have improved and are in a de - stocking state. However, considering the future复产 of large factories and polysilicon production cuts, the fundamentals are not optimistic. In the short term, a strategy of buying on dips is recommended, with the risk being the large factories'复产 [3][17] 3.3.2 Polysilicon - The fundamentals are bearish for the market. Middle - section deliverable enterprises are actively hedging, and more warehouse receipts will be registered. The market has strong speculative properties and is supported at 49,000 yuan/ton. In the short term, the price may range from 45,000 - 57,000 yuan/ton, and in the long term, it is expected to exceed 60,000 yuan/ton. A strategy of bullish on pullbacks is recommended, and attention can be paid to the 11 - 12 reverse arbitrage opportunity at about - 2000 yuan/ton [4][18] 3.4 Hot News - The US launched anti - dumping and counter - vailing investigations on crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells imported from India, Indonesia, and Laos. The ITC will make an initial ruling on industrial damage by September 2, 2025.
