Summary of Conference Call on Polysilicon and Industrial Silicon Market Industry Overview - The conference call focused on the polysilicon and industrial silicon markets, highlighting the supply-side constraints and price fluctuations impacting the industry [1][2]. Key Points and Arguments - **Polysilicon Price Increase**: Polysilicon prices have risen to 45,000 CNY per ton, with some companies facing costs as high as 49,000 CNY per ton. However, the price increase has not effectively transmitted to the downstream battery and module segments, leading to losses in those areas. The silicon wafer price needs to rise to approximately 2 CNY per piece to achieve profitability [1][3]. - **Inventory and Demand Dynamics**: The silicon wafer price increase has resulted in good transaction volumes, with expectations of inventory reduction in the coming week. However, the battery and module inventories remain high due to insufficient transaction volumes. The production adjustments in July and August, along with the low inventory levels from the first half of the year, indicate potential recovery in downstream investment demand, contingent on order volumes and production capacity [1][5]. - **Impact of New Policies on Distributed and Centralized Solar**: Distributed solar power has seen about 40% of demand stagnate due to new policies. Centralized solar relies on large projects, with expectations that the fourth quarter may see better performance than the first half. However, the 531 policy may have already exhausted some of the anticipated demand. The forecast for installed capacity this year has been adjusted to a target of 300 GW, with a pessimistic outlook of 255 GW [1][6]. - **Installed Capacity Requirements**: To avoid inventory pressure in the second half of the year, the domestic installed capacity must reach at least 300 GW. The actual installed capacity in the first half of the year has shown some inventory reduction, primarily in downstream raw materials and end products. If strict price controls are enforced without production increases, annual production may drop below 1.2 million tons, leading to a more favorable balance sheet [1][7]. - **Current Inventory Situation**: The polysilicon market has seen a reduction in inventory, but a shift to proactive inventory replenishment requires support from terminal demand, which hinges on achieving at least 300 GW of installed capacity. If this demand continues into the fourth quarter, both price controls and production limits will be necessary to support price increases [1][8]. - **Industrial Silicon Market Performance**: The industrial silicon market has seen price strength, but unlike polysilicon, it lacks significant supply-demand narratives. Current trading focuses on production and cost, with leading companies not resuming production despite profitability. The market is influenced by coal price rebounds, but oversupply limits the potential for significant inventory reductions [3][9]. - **Future Price Trends**: The polysilicon market is expected to exhibit a near-term strength but long-term supply pressures. Industrial silicon has a limited window for bullish trading, with short-term rebounds possible due to profitability in certain regions. However, the fundamental outlook suggests a downward trend, particularly influenced by production resumption in key areas [1][11]. Other Important Insights - **Investment Sentiment**: The investment sentiment in distributed solar remains low due to policy impacts, while centralized solar projects are expected to perform better in the fourth quarter, although overall installed capacity expectations have been tempered [1][6]. - **Market Dynamics**: The interplay between price controls and production limits will be crucial in determining the market's ability to sustain price increases and manage inventory effectively [1][8].

Group 1: Copper - This week, copper prices showed a reverse V-shaped trend. The ADP and non-farm payroll data diverged, causing the overall interest rate cut expectation to fluctuate. Trump's "Great Beauty" Act was implemented, and short-term broad fiscal policies may have a certain stimulating effect [1]. - Domestically, inventory has increased, and the start-up rate has declined significantly. It is expected to continue to decline during the off-season from July to August, and overall copper consumption by downstream industries has been somewhat suppressed [1]. - The spread between refined and scrap copper has widened this week, weakening the substitution effect. It is expected that there will be a moderate inventory increase from July to August [1]. - With the S232 investigation pending, there is still strong support below the copper price. A significant drop would require a macro black swan event, which is currently unlikely. During the off-season in the third quarter, the copper price is expected to have some adjustment room due to inventory accumulation and the decline in the refined-scrap substitution effect [1]. Group 2: Aluminum - Supply has increased slightly, with aluminum ingot imports providing an increment from January to May. In July, demand is expected to weaken seasonally, with aluminum product exports remaining stable and photovoltaic demand declining. Supply and demand are expected to be balanced [1]. - In terms of inventory, supply and demand are expected to be balanced in July. The short-term fundamentals are acceptable, and attention should be paid to demand. In a low-inventory situation, attention should be paid to inter-month spreads and reverse arbitrage between domestic and foreign markets [1]. Group 3: Zinc - This week, zinc prices fluctuated widely. In July, the domestic TC increased by 200 yuan/ton compared to June, and the imported TC increased slightly. Some smelters are undergoing maintenance in July, but new production capacities in the southwest and central China have been realized, and the zinc ingot output is expected to increase by more than 5,000 tons month-on-month [4]. - On the demand side, domestic demand has weakened seasonally. The spot premium in North China has turned to a discount, and those in East and South China have basically leveled off. Overseas, demand in Europe is weak, but some smelters face certain production resistance due to processing fees, and the spot premium has increased slightly [4]. - Domestically, social inventory has increased oscillatingly. Due to more factory pick-ups at the current price, the inventory accumulation of social inventory is slightly slower than expected. Overseas, LME inventory has decreased oscillatingly since May, mainly because more overseas zinc ingots have flowed into China [4]. - The strategy remains to short zinc and sell on rallies. The long domestic and short foreign arbitrage can continue to be held [4]. Group 4: Lead - This week, lead prices rose moderately. On the supply side, the scrap volume is weaker year-on-year. The expansion of recycling plants has led to a shortage of demand for scrap batteries. Although the low profit has improved this week, the operating rate remains low. The willingness of recyclers to sell at a high price has weakened [7]. - From April to June, the operation rate of concentrate mines increased, but the supply of domestic and foreign concentrates has tightened, and the TC is in a mess [7]. - On the demand side, battery inventory is high. This week, the battery operating rate rebounded, and the market has expectations for the peak season. The refined-scrap spread is -50, the willingness of recycled lead producers to sell has increased, but the reception is poor. There is speculation about cancelled LME warehouse receipts [7]. - From April to July, overall consumption during the off-season is weak, and orders only meet the rigid demand. This week's price increase is due to speculation about the improvement in battery stocking demand and overseas cancelled warehouse receipts, but in reality, downstream buyers only replenish their inventories for rigid demand at high prices [7]. - The profit of recycled lead has improved, but the operating rate has not increased. The willingness of scrap battery owners to sell at a high price is strong, and the price support behavior is weaker than in the previous upward cycle. The willingness of recycled lead producers to sell has improved, but the reception is poor. The refined-scrap spread is -50, and the lead ingot spot is at a discount of 40, mainly maintaining long-term orders [7]. - It is expected that lead will oscillate in the range of 17,100 - 17,500 next week. If the macro situation affects the lead price to remain above 17,200, it may trigger the risk of a price support cycle. In July, primary lead supply is expected to decrease slightly, and demand is weak [7]. Group 5: Tin - This week, tin prices fluctuated widely. On the supply side, the short-term resumption of production in Wa State, Myanmar, still needs negotiation. The processing fee for tin ore is at a low level, and the smelting profit is inverted. Some smelters in Jiangxi Province, China, have reduced production, and those in Yunnan Province are still struggling to maintain production. In June, the output of tin ingots decreased by more than 1 kt month-on-month [9]. - Overseas, except for Wa State, supply disruptions have basically subsided. The import volume from the Democratic Republic of the Congo in May exceeded expectations, mainly due to traders' inventories [9]. - On the demand side, the elasticity of solder is limited, and the growth rates of the terminal electronics and photovoltaic industries are expected to decline significantly. Domestic inventory has increased oscillatingly. Overseas consumption rush continues, but the LME inventory is at a low level, and the inflection point of inventory accumulation is gradually emerging [9]. - On the spot side, the supply of small-brand tin ingots remains tight. Most of the exchange inventory is high-priced Yunzi-brand tin ingots, and downstream buyers have no strong willingness to pick them up [9]. - In the short term, there are both disturbances in domestic raw material supply and expectations of consumption decline. It is expected that supply and demand will remain weak in the first half of the year. June and July may be the key stages to verify whether the tightness of tin ore will be transmitted to the tightness of tin ingots, and the bottom has strong support [9]. - In the short term, it is recommended to wait and see. In the long term, pay attention to shorting opportunities after the maintenance period [9]. Group 6: Industrial Silicon - This week, Hesheng's Xinjiang production area continued to reduce production, while those in Yunnan and Sichuan increased slightly. Overall, due to the significant production reduction of leading enterprises, the production in July and subsequent months is expected to decline from the previous expectation of a significant increase, and the supply-demand balance has shifted to inventory reduction [13]. - If Hesheng continues to maintain the production reduction, the spot price of industrial silicon is expected to fluctuate. Previously, against the background of the futures price hitting a new low, the basis strengthened rapidly, stimulating the long-suppressed speculative and replenishment sentiments of downstream industries. The de-stocking speed of warehouse receipts and non-standard products has been significant, and the spot price has been strong. The unexpected production reduction of leading enterprises has a significant marginal impact on the supply-demand balance, and there is a resumption of production in the downstream polysilicon industry [13]. Group 7: Lithium Carbonate - This week, lithium carbonate prices increased due to the promotion of the "anti-involution" policy. Spot transactions are mainly based on the 09 contract price. The price difference between upstream and downstream has led to average transactions. Downstream buyers settle at a later point in time, and there is inventory dumping at a reduced basis [13]. - The high price has stimulated the resumption of some production lines in Sichuan, and salt lakes continue to increase production. However, some factories have maintenance plans, and the hedging profit of externally purchased projects is abundant and production is ongoing [13]. - Downstream buyers are highly cautious and only maintain a safety inventory. Overall, inventory has increased this week. The willingness to deliver goods to the warehouse has improved, and the registered warehouse receipts have increased [13]. - In the medium and long term, there are many expansion projects for ore and lithium salt production capacities. If the operating rates of leading mining and smelting integrated enterprises do not decrease significantly, the lithium carbonate price will still fluctuate weakly. In the short term, downstream demand is weak, and the reduction in new energy vehicle consumer loans has not improved demand as expected [13]. - The lithium ore price has rebounded, and downstream buyers are cautious and replenish their inventories only for rigid demand. At the current price rebound, the profit of externally purchased smelters has improved, and they have resumed production. The profit of self-owned mines has increased, and the market clearance pace may be delayed [13]. - In the future, the supply elasticity is high. Large factories in Sichuan and previously maintained and technically improved enterprises are resuming production. Attention should be paid to the resumption time of the Jiuxiaowo project of CATL. Demand has not improved significantly. It is expected that the supply will continue to exceed demand next week, leading to inventory accumulation, which will put upward pressure on the price. The fundamental oversupply situation has not been significantly reversed. However, the "anti-involution" competition policy may boost sentiment, and risks need to be guarded against [13]. Group 8: Nickel - On the supply side, the production of pure nickel remains at a high level, and the import of nickel beans increased in May. On the demand side, overall demand is weak, and the LME premium has strengthened slightly [15]. - On the inventory side, overseas nickel plate inventory remains stable, while domestic inventory has decreased slightly. After the rumor that the Philippines' ban on raw ore exports has been abolished, concerns about supply disruptions in the ore market have eased. The short-term real fundamentals are average, and opportunities for narrowing the nickel-stainless steel price ratio can continue to be monitored [15]. Group 9: Stainless Steel - From the supply side, some steel mills have been forced to reduce production since late May. On the demand side, demand is mainly for rigid needs. In terms of cost, the prices of nickel iron and chrome iron remain stable [17]. - In terms of inventory, inventory has increased slightly in Xijiao and Foshan, and some exchange warehouse receipts have expired and been de-stocked. The overall fundamentals remain weak. After the demand fades, the pressure on the spot market increases, and it is expected to fluctuate weakly in the short term [17].

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings - **Oils and Fats**: Oscillating Bullish [8] - **Protein Meal**: Oscillating [9] - **Corn/Starch**: Oscillating [9][10] - **Hogs**: Oscillating Bullish [11][12][13] - **Natural Rubber**: Oscillating [14][16] - **Synthetic Rubber**: Oscillating [17] - **Cotton**: Oscillating [18][20] - **Sugar**: Oscillating [21] - **Pulp**: Oscillating Bearish [22] - **Logs**: Oscillating Bearish [23][24] 2. Core Views of the Report - The improvement in the macro - level drives the rebound of agricultural products. Different agricultural products show various trends due to factors such as policy, supply - demand, and macro - environment [2]. 3. Summary According to Related Catalogs (1)行情观点 - **Oils and Fats**: The US biodiesel policy boosts demand expectations, and oils and fats may continue to oscillate upward. The US Senate's passing of the fiscal spending bill including the 45Z tax credit and Brazil's plan to increase the biodiesel blending ratio are positive factors. However, factors like OPEC +'s August production policy, trade relations, and crude oil prices need attention [8]. - **Protein Meal**: It will oscillate within a range, and long positions can be held. Internationally, factors such as the US Senate's tax bill, US soybean area, and Argentine soybean production are intertwined. Domestically, there is a supply - pressure on the short - term price, but long - term cost support exists [9]. - **Corn/Starch**: After the import auction is finalized, the futures price drops in advance. The supply pressure from policy - grain auctions and the substitution of wheat for feed are negative factors, while the potential production - demand gap is a positive factor [9][10]. - **Hogs**: The strengthening of the macro - sentiment drives up both the spot and futures prices. In the short term, there is a price rebound, but in the long term, there is supply - suppression risk [11][12][13]. - **Natural Rubber**: The strong rise of commodities drives the rubber price to run strongly. Currently, the supply has an incremental expectation, and the demand has a decreasing expectation, but it is difficult for a sharp decline to occur in the third quarter [14][16]. - **Synthetic Rubber**: The futures price oscillates within a narrow range. The market is mainly affected by the fluctuations of natural rubber and overall commodities, and the end - user's raw material procurement attitude is negative [17]. - **Cotton**: The low - inventory structure supports the cotton price. Although there is an expected increase in new - cotton production and weak demand in the off - season, the current low inventory makes the price relatively resistant to decline [18][20]. - **Sugar**: There is insufficient power for continuous strengthening. Both domestic and international markets face potential supply - increase pressure, and there is a limit to the price rebound [21]. - **Pulp**: The warm trading atmosphere in the financial market drives the pulp price. However, the supply - demand fundamentals are weak, and the futures price is expected to oscillate downward [22]. - **Logs**: The supply - demand is weak, and the market oscillates. The market is in the off - season, and the mid - term is affected by weak fundamentals [23][24].

Group 1: Core View - Crude oil has fallen sharply, causing the chemical industry to follow. Despite the expected reduction in polyester downstream load, it remains at 91.3%, and the actual polyester output has reached a new high. Recent promotions have helped with inventory reduction. PTA will reduce inventory in the coming period, and the actions of major factories to increase basis sales have had a significant impact on the market, making PTA spot supplies tight. Polyester has rapidly reduced inventory recently, and inventory has increased significantly. Affected by the rise in crude oil, market purchasing willingness has increased. The maintenance of a Northeast PX factory and a Zhejiang reforming unit has been postponed [2]. Group 2: Market Data Summary Spot and Futures Prices - PTA spot price increased from 5025 to 5030, a change of 5.00; PTA closing price rose from 4778 to 4798, a change of 20.00 [2]. - MEG inner - market price decreased from 4346 to 4334, a change of (12.00); MEG closing price dropped from 4271 to 4267, a change of (4.00) [2].

五矿期货能源化工日报-20250610
Wu Kuang Qi Huo· 2025-06-10 03:21
Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints - For crude oil, due to the unclear outcome of the US - Iran negotiation, although OPEC has shown clear production - increase data, considering the bottom - support effect of shale oil and the uncertainty of the US - Iran negotiation, the current risk - return ratio is not suitable for short - chasing, and short - term observation is recommended [1]. - For methanol, with sufficient domestic supply and a weak macro - environment, there may be a further decline. It is recommended to focus on short - selling opportunities on rallies. For cross -品种 trading, pay attention to the opportunity of going long on the 09 - contract PP - 3MA spread on dips [3]. - For urea, with high supply and lukewarm demand, the price is expected to have no obvious trend. Given the low basis at the same period, there is no safety margin for long - trading, so short - term observation is recommended [5]. - For rubber, after an oversold rebound, the price is oscillating. Short - long or neutral strategies with short - term operations are recommended. Also, pay attention to the band - trading opportunity of going long on RU2601 and shorting on RU2509 [11]. - For PVC, under the expectation of strong supply and weak demand, the market is expected to be weakly oscillating in the short term, but beware of rebounds if the weak export expectation fails to materialize [13]. - For polyethylene, the price is expected to remain oscillating in June as the short - term contradiction shifts from cost - driven decline to high - maintenance - boosted inventory reduction, and there is no new capacity - commissioning plan [16]. - For polypropylene, due to planned capacity expansion in June and a seasonal decline in demand, the price is expected to be bearish in June [17]. - For PX, the de - stocking is expected to slow down in June as the maintenance season ends, but it will re - enter the de - stocking cycle in the third quarter. The price is expected to oscillate at the current valuation level [19]. - For PTA, with supply still in the maintenance season and moderate inventory pressure in the polyester and chemical fiber sector, PTA will continue to de - stock, and the processing fee is supported. The price is expected to oscillate at the current valuation level [20]. - For ethylene glycol, the industrial fundamentals are still in the de - stocking stage, but the de - stocking of port inventory is expected to slow down. There is a risk of valuation correction as the maintenance season ends [21]. Summary by Related Catalogs Crude Oil - **Market Quotes**: WTI main - contract crude - oil futures rose $0.61, or 0.94%, to $65.38; Brent main - contract crude - oil futures rose $0.48, or 0.72%, to $67.13; INE main - contract crude - oil futures rose 8.20 yuan, or 1.76%, to 474.3 yuan [1]. - **Data**: China's weekly crude - oil arrival inventory decreased by 2.27 million barrels to 204.55 million barrels, a 1.10% week - on - week decline; gasoline commercial inventory decreased by 0.66 million barrels to 84.21 million barrels, a 0.78% decline; diesel commercial inventory increased by 0.81 million barrels to 96.16 million barrels, a 0.85% increase; total refined - oil commercial inventory increased by 0.15 million barrels to 180.37 million barrels, a 0.09% increase [1]. Methanol - **Market Quotes**: On June 9, the 09 - contract rose 13 yuan/ton to 2277 yuan/ton, and the spot price rose 23 yuan/ton, with a basis of + 58 [3]. - **Supply - Demand Situation**: Supply has bottomed out and rebounded as previously - maintained plants resume operation, and is at a high level in the same period. Enterprise profits have continuously declined from a high level. Demand has slightly improved as the MTO device at the port has returned to a high - operation level, and traditional demand has generally rebounded this week. The port inventory has increased slowly, and the price has shown strength. Inland supply has increased while demand has weakened, and the price has declined, leading to an expanding price difference between the port and the inland area [3]. Urea - **Market Quotes**: On June 9, the 09 - contract fell 23 yuan/ton to 1697 yuan/ton, and the spot price fell 70 yuan/ton, with a basis of + 83 [5]. - **Supply - Demand Situation**: Supply remains at a high level, and daily output continues to rise. Demand has decreased as the production of compound fertilizers for the summer season is ending, and the enterprise operation rate has rapidly declined. The pre - order volume of urea enterprises has continuously decreased. Under the situation of increasing supply and decreasing demand, enterprise inventory has accumulated to a high level in the same period, and the basis has widened [5]. Rubber - **Market Quotes**: NR and RU are oscillating and consolidating [8]. - **Supply - Demand Situation**: Bulls believe that the weather, rubber - forest situation, and relevant policies in Southeast Asia, especially in Thailand, may contribute to rubber production reduction. Bears believe that the macro - expectation has deteriorated, demand is flat and in a seasonal off - season, and high rubber prices will stimulate a large amount of new supply throughout the year, and the production - reduction amplitude may be lower than expected [9]. - **Industry Data**: As of June 5, 2025, the operation rate of full - steel tires of Shandong tire enterprises was 63.45%, 1.33 percentage points lower than last week but 2.56 percentage points higher than the same period last year. The inventory of tire factories is consumed slowly. The operation rate of domestic semi - steel tire enterprises was 73.49%, 4.39 percentage points lower than last week and 6.75 percentage points lower than the same period last year. Overseas new - order performance is poor. As of June 1, 2025, China's natural - rubber social inventory was 1.28 million tons, a decrease of 28,000 tons or 2.1% from the previous period. China's dark - rubber social inventory was 763,000 tons, a 3.4% week - on - week decline; light - rubber social inventory was 517,000 tons, a 0.1% decline. As of June 9, 2025, the natural - rubber inventory in Qingdao was 484,200 (- 1,500) tons [10]. - **Spot Prices**: Thai standard mixed rubber was 13,600 (+ 50) yuan; STR20 was reported at 1,685 (+ 5) US dollars; STR20 mixed was 1,675 (+ 5) US dollars; Jiangsu and Zhejiang butadiene was 9,450 (- 100) yuan; North China cis - butadiene rubber was 11,400 (0) yuan [11]. PVC - **Market Quotes**: The PVC09 contract rose 26 yuan to 4,816 yuan. The spot price of Changzhou SG - 5 was 4,700 (0) yuan/ton, with a basis of - 116 (- 26) yuan/ton, and the 9 - 1 spread was - 79 (- 4) yuan/ton [13]. - **Cost and Supply - Demand Situation**: The cost of calcium carbide has increased, and the overall operation rate of PVC has increased. The downstream operation rate has slightly increased. Factory inventory has increased, and social inventory has decreased. Fundamentally, enterprise profit pressure has improved, the maintenance season has ended, and future production is expected to increase. There are expectations of multiple device commissions. The domestic operation rate is still weak compared with previous years and is entering the off - season. Export orders have weakened, and there is an expectation of weakening due to Indian policies and anti - dumping and BIS certification. The cost of calcium carbide has decreased, and the valuation support has weakened [13]. Polyethylene - **Market Quotes**: The futures price has risen. The main - contract closing price was 7,078 yuan/ton, up 12 yuan/ton, and the spot price was 7,150 yuan/ton, up 15 yuan/ton, with a basis of 72 yuan/ton, strengthening by 3 yuan/ton [16]. - **Supply - Demand Situation**: The fire in Alberta, Canada, has offset the OPEC +'s planned production increase of 411,000 barrels in July.

Supply Side - PX inventory is experiencing a destocking trend entering 2025, particularly after May, driven by limited supply increments and unexpected demand performance, leading to a significant recovery in PX valuation [1] - This year is not a major maintenance year for PX, with high operating rates in Q1 and limited maintenance plans in Q2, resulting in unexpected supply losses in May due to unplanned reductions at certain facilities [1] - Domestic PX production remains stable, with over half of the capacity being integrated refining and chemical facilities launched after 2019, while imports are still 20% reliant on regions like South Korea and Japan, which lack new capacity and have lower operational stability [1] Demand Side - Demand for PX has fluctuated between reality and expectations, with PTA processing fees compressed to low levels after the Spring Festival, leading to a delay in PX destocking [2] - The escalation of US-China trade tensions initially weakened demand expectations, causing PX prices to drop to yearly lows, but a subsequent easing of tensions and strong export orders improved demand and operational rates in the downstream [2] - As of May, the recovery in PTA operating rates has continued the PX destocking trend, with improved buying intentions from PTA factories leading to a rapid recovery in PX prices [2] Future Outlook - In the short term, the recovery in PTA operating rates is expected to continue the PX destocking trend, with improved PX production profits and delayed maintenance in domestic and overseas facilities indicating that PX valuations are entering a reasonable range [3] - Long-term projections suggest that with only 3 million tons of new PX capacity expected from Yulong Petrochemical, while PTA has significant upcoming capacity additions, the domestic PX supply gap is likely to widen [3] - Although tariffs may limit terminal demand growth compared to PTA capacity growth, restricted operating levels in other Asian regions are expected to constrain import increases, indicating further improvement potential in the long-term supply-demand landscape for PX [3]

The key node of the subsequent inventory accumulation of domestic aluminum ingots needs to be confirmed [3] - Short - term warming of the macro - atmosphere boosts prices, but subsequent consumption will enter the off - season, and inventory faces accumulation pressure. Attention should be paid to the support of fundamentals after the dissipation of macro - sentiment [4]
