Silicon plants sold a large amount of products to traders, while downstream purchases were relatively small. The upward and downward space was narrowing, and the adjustment rhythm continued. After the anti-involution efforts, the price of polysilicon was basically under control. With the production resumption in the southwest region, the social inventory and warehouse receipts continued to increase, but the industrial clearance had not been effectively promoted, and the pattern of separation between volume and price of polysilicon continued to expand [2]. - The market is currently highly focused on the photovoltaic industry meeting jointly held by six ministries and commissions. The policy may gradually shift from direct production control to linking with production capacity and technical indicators. The dynamics of the anti-involution meeting have an absolute driving force on the short-term market and may guide the correction of expectations and the callback of the premium. It is recommended to be cautious when shorting at high levels. The implementation details of the energy-saving special supervision to be launched by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology before the end of September may be updated, and continuous attention should be paid to the implementation of production restrictions driven by policies [2]. Summary by Directory 1. Research Views - Industrial silicon and polysilicon both showed a fluctuating and slightly stronger trend on August 25th.
