Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content Core Viewpoints - Last week, industrial silicon prices fluctuated upwards. The 15th Five-Year Plan emphasizes accelerating the speed and comprehensiveness of green transformation, and the polysilicon industry conference discussed high-quality development in the photovoltaic industry next year, leading to optimistic market expectations for new polysilicon platforms. Supply side saw a marginal contraction as Xinjiang maintained over 80% capacity utilization, while Yunnan dropped to 54% due to the approaching dry season, and Sichuan's output also declined. On the demand side, the polysilicon industry conference boosted market optimism, but silicon wafer prices slightly decreased due to reduced overseas battery demand, and photovoltaic cells continued to weaken. Component demand improved, and inventory pressure eased. Industrial silicon social inventory decreased slightly to 55.8 million tons, and spot prices stabilized and rebounded with the upward fluctuation of futures contracts. Overall, prices are expected to remain strong in the short term [2][6][10]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Market Data - From October 24th to October 31st, the industrial silicon主力 contract rose from 8,920 yuan/ton to 9,100 yuan/ton, a 2.02% increase; the oxygenated 553 spot rose 1.07% to 9,450 yuan/ton; the non-oxygenated 553 and 421 and 3303 spot prices remained unchanged; the organic silicon DMC spot fell 0.90% to 11,000 yuan/ton; the polysilicon dense material spot remained unchanged at 52 yuan/ton; and the industrial silicon social inventory decreased 0.18% to 55.8 million tons [4]. Market Analysis and Outlook - **Macro aspect**: In September, China's above-scale industrial enterprise profits increased 21.4% year-on-year, and from January - September, they increased 3.2% year-on-year, the highest cumulative growth rate since August last year. Profits in industries such as electricity, non-ferrous metals, and agriculture increased, while those in textiles and petroleum extraction decreased [7]. - **Supply and demand aspect**: As of October 30th, the weekly industrial silicon output was 98,700 tons, a 0.18% week-on-week and 3.34% year-on-year increase.
