Report Industry Investment Ratings - Industrial Silicon: Oscillating [5] - Polysilicon: Oscillating [6] - Lithium Carbonate: Oscillating [9] Core Views of the Report - Exchange position limits and repeated supply - side expectations have led to significant fluctuations in new - energy metals. For lithium in Jiangxi, without official confirmation of production cuts, caution is needed when using futures to bet on long or short positions. Options can be used to cautiously bet on potential lithium price increases. For industrial silicon and polysilicon, if there is no substantial contraction on the supply - side or significant improvement on the demand - side, prices may fall [1]. - Market sentiment for industrial silicon has cooled, leading to a sharp decline in prices; a significant drop in coal prices has caused polysilicon prices to fall; market sentiment for lithium carbonate has been volatile, with the contract hitting the daily limit down [2]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1. Market Views Industrial Silicon - **Information Analysis**: As of July 28, SMM data shows that the spot price of oxygen - passing 553 in East China is 9950 yuan/ton, and 421 is 10200 yuan/ton. The latest domestic inventory is 442,900 tons, with a month - on - month increase of 0.1%. In June, the monthly output was 327,000 tons, a month - on - month increase of 6.5% and a year - on - year decrease of 27.7%. In June, exports were 68,323 tons, a month - on - month increase of 22.8% and a year - on - year increase of 11.6%. In June, domestic photovoltaic new installations were 14.36GW, a year - on - year decrease of 38.45% [5]. - **Main Logic**: On the supply side, large northwest factories' previously overhauled furnaces have recently resumed production, and southwest factories are accelerating resumption. On the demand side, it is still weak year - on - year but shows marginal improvement. The reduction in the northwest still dominates short - term supply changes, but domestic supply may gradually recover. The inventory of warehouse receipts provides some support, but the speed of reduction has slowed down [5]. - **Outlook**: Market sentiment decline, rapid coal price drop, and further supply recovery have weakened price support, suppressing the upside space [6]. Polysilicon - **Information Analysis**: According to the Silicon Industry Association, the transaction price range of N - type re - feedstock is 45,000 - 49,000 yuan/ton, with an average price of 46,800 yuan/ton, a week - on - week increase of 12.2%. In May, exports were about 2,097.6 tons, a month - on - month increase of 66.2% and a year - on - year decrease of 30%. In May, imports were about 793 tons, a month - on - month decrease of 16.9%. From January to June 2025, domestic photovoltaic new installations were 212.21GW, a year - on - year increase of 107% [6]. - **Main Logic**: The significant decline in coal prices last Friday led to a drop in polysilicon prices. On the supply side, production capacity in the southwest is rising with the arrival of the wet season. On the demand side, although photovoltaic installations increased significantly from January to May, it has overdrafted the demand for the second half of the year, and subsequent demand may weaken [7]. - **Outlook**: Anti - involution policies have significantly boosted polysilicon prices. Attention should be paid to policy implementation. If the policy expectations are false, prices may fluctuate in the opposite direction [8]. Lithium Carbonate - **Information Analysis**: On July 28, the closing price of the main lithium carbonate contract decreased by 9.19% to 73,120 yuan, and the total contract positions decreased by 107,784 to 800,394 hands. The SMM battery - grade lithium carbonate spot price increased by 1000 yuan to 73,900 yuan/ton, and the industrial - grade increased by 1000 yuan to 71,700 yuan/ton [8]. - **Main Logic**: Current supply - demand drivers are weak, and market sentiment affects prices. Fundamentally, there are few changes. In the third quarter, domestic supply - demand is generally balanced, but high prices may stimulate supply. The core factors affecting the market are anti - involution sentiment and the progress of mining license issues. Before the result of mine shutdown is clear, if market sentiment recovers, prices may rise. There is high short - term uncertainty, and options are recommended for speculation [9]. - **Outlook**: In the short term, warehouse receipts and sentiment support prices, and prices are expected to oscillate [9].

Report Industry Investment Rating - All three metals (industrial silicon, polysilicon, and lithium carbonate) are rated as "oscillating" [4][6][10] Core Viewpoints - The hype about industrial silicon production cuts has cooled down, leading to a decline in new energy metal prices. In the short - to - medium term, as the smelting profit of industrial silicon recovers and the scale of production cuts shrinks, the prices of new energy metals have risen and then fallen. It is advisable to continue to bet on volatility with wide - straddle options. In the long term, low prices may accelerate the capacity clearance of domestically self - priced varieties [1] - For industrial silicon, the price is expected to oscillate. The supply may increase, and the demand is weak. The social inventory has decreased slightly, but there is a possibility of re - accumulation [4][5] - For polysilicon, the price will show wide - range oscillations. The short - term supply is low, but the demand may weaken in the second half of the year [8][9] - For lithium carbonate, the price will maintain oscillations. The supply is in excess, but the short - term reduction in warehouse receipts supports the price [10] Summary by Related Catalogs 1. Market Outlook Industrial Silicon - As of July 2, the spot price has slightly increased. The domestic inventory has decreased slightly, with a 0.2% month - on - month decrease. In May 2025, the monthly production was 308,000 tons, a 2.3% month - on - month increase and a 24.6% year - on - year decrease. The export volume in May was 55,652 tons, an 8.0% month - on - month decrease and a 22.5% year - on - year decrease. The new photovoltaic installed capacity in May was 92.9GW, a 105.5% month - on - month increase and a 388.0% year - on - year increase [4] - If the production cut scope expands in July, the supply - demand situation may improve marginally; otherwise, the oversupply pressure is difficult to relieve. The demand is weak, and the inventory may re - accumulate. The silicon price has fallen after rising, and manufacturers can consider hedging by selling at high prices. The future silicon price will oscillate [5] Polysilicon - The成交 price range of N - type re - feeding materials is 32,000 - 35,000 yuan/ton, with an average price of 34,400 yuan/ton, unchanged month - on - month. The number of warehouse receipts has not changed. In May, the export volume increased by 66.2% month - on - month and decreased by 30% year - on - year, while the import volume decreased by 16.9% month - on - month. From January to May, the new photovoltaic installed capacity increased by 150% year - on - year [6] - The supply news is volatile, and the production is currently low. With the arrival of the wet season, the production in the southwest may increase. The demand may weaken in the second half of the year. The price will show wide - range oscillations [7][8][9] Lithium Carbonate - On July 1, the closing price of the main contract increased by 0.84% to 62,780 yuan. The total position decreased by 4,592 lots. The spot price remained unchanged. Zhongkuang Resources plans to upgrade its production line, with a 6 - month shutdown. [9] - The supply is increasing, and the demand is expected to be good in July despite it being a traditional off - season. The social inventory is accumulating, and the warehouse receipt inventory is decreasing. The price will maintain oscillations [10] 2.
