Core Viewpoint - Since December, manganese silicon futures and spot prices have rebounded from low levels, with the main contract increasing by nearly 200 yuan/ton, although the overall increase in spot prices has not matched that of futures, leading to a weak and stable basis [1] Supply Constraints - Despite widespread losses among manganese silicon enterprises and weakened production willingness, the reduction in output from major production areas has been limited, resulting in no significant alleviation of supply pressure. As of the week ending December 12, the operating rate of 187 independent manganese silicon enterprises was 36.85%, with an average daily output of 27,035 tons, continuing to decline since mid-September, with a cumulative decrease of 10.53 percentage points and 3,555 tons [2] - The overall manganese silicon production remains close to last year's levels, despite a significant year-on-year decline in operating rates by 8.18 percentage points. The daily average output has only decreased by 1,185 tons compared to the same period last year. In Inner Mongolia, the daily average output remains stable at 13,840 tons, down 1,040 tons from previous highs, and slightly down 800 tons year-on-year [2] Inventory Levels - As of the week ending December 12, the total inventory of manganese silicon production enterprises reached 382,000 tons, setting a new historical record. Inventory accumulation is evident across all regions, particularly in major production areas. In Ningxia, the latest inventory reached 285,500 tons, an increase of 195,500 tons from previous lows, continuously hitting record highs [3] - The increase in inventory is primarily due to significantly weakened demand, leading to passive accumulation. Inner Mongolia's inventory increased by 22,000 tons, mainly due to weak terminal demand. Other regions also saw inventory increases, but the absolute growth was not substantial [3] Demand Performance - As of the week ending December 12, only 35.93% of the 247 sample steel mills were profitable, a continuous decline since mid-August, down 32.47 percentage points and significantly lower than the same period last year. The profitability of major steel products has not improved, with many long-process steel mills in North China still in a loss state [4] - The overall profitability of steel mills remains poor, and with the seasonal downturn in the steel market, manganese silicon demand is expected to remain weak in the short term. Despite a market sentiment recovery driving manganese silicon prices up from low levels, limited supply reduction and ongoing weak demand indicate that the industry’s supply-demand dynamics have not improved [4]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant information provided 2. Core Viewpoint of the Report - The methanol 2605 contract is expected to run strongly, with short - term and medium - term trends being volatile and the intraday trend being bullish. This is mainly due to the rebound in coal prices [1][5] 3. Summary by Related Catalogs 3.1 Variety Morning Meeting Minutes - For the methanol 2605 contract, the short - term trend is volatile, the medium - term trend is volatile, and the intraday trend is bullish. The reference view is a bullish run, and the core logic is that the rebound in coal prices makes methanol volatile and bullish [1] 3.2 Price Quotes and Driving Logic of Main Varieties - The intraday view of methanol is bullish, and the medium - term view is volatile. After the previous positive factors were digested, methanol futures were hindered in their rebound due to increased domestic supply pressure and the drag of a sharp correction in domestic coal futures prices. Although port and inland inventories have slightly declined, they are still high, and downstream demand improvement is insufficient with weak olefin disk profits. Driven by the rebound of domestic coal futures prices, the domestic methanol futures maintained a volatile and bullish trend on Wednesday night, and are expected to maintain this trend on Thursday [5]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In the short - term, there is no driving force, and the market shows a weak and volatile pattern. However, it is necessary to be vigilant about environmental protection speculation in winter. In the medium - to - long - term, the downside space for industrial silicon prices is limited, and it is cost - effective to buy long - term contracts during peak seasons at low prices. The price trend of industrial silicon is also closely related to the price fluctuations of related products such as polysilicon and coking coal [2]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Core Contradictions and Strategy Suggestions 3.1.1 Core Contradictions - The core driving factors for the future price trend of industrial silicon futures include the progress of eliminating backward production capacity under the "anti - involution" background of the industry, production cuts on the supply side due to environmental protection constraints or rising costs, and the expected production cuts on the demand side due to weak terminal sales. The industry has expectations for eliminating backward production capacity, but due to the large number of private enterprises and scattered layout in the industrial silicon industry, there is a lack of confidence in effective capacity clearance through industry self - regulation. - Electricity costs account for 30% of the production cost of industrial silicon, and coal price fluctuations affect electricity costs and then industrial silicon prices. In December, the operating rate of industrial silicon producers is expected to decline. Downstream, the polysilicon industry is reducing production, the silicone monomer plants have maintenance plans, and only the aluminum alloy industry maintains a stable operating rate [1]. 3.1.2 Trading Logic - Near - term trading logic (before the end of 2025): Environmental protection disturbances, and expected production cuts on both the supply and demand sides. - Long - term trading logic (after early 2026): The progress of eliminating backward production capacity under the "anti - involution" background of the industry, and continuous attention to demand [4]. 3.1.3 Industrial Operation Suggestions - Sales management: For enterprises planning to produce industrial silicon in the future and worried about price drops during sales, they can sell corresponding futures contracts and use a combined options strategy (buy put options and sell call options) with a recommended hedging ratio of 20%. - Procurement management: For enterprises planning to produce polysilicon, silicone, or aluminum alloy in the future, if the finished product price is not correlated, they can buy corresponding futures contracts with a recommended hedging ratio of 30% and use a combined options strategy (sell put options and buy call options) with a ratio of 10%. If the finished product price is correlated, they can sell corresponding futures contracts and use a combined options strategy (buy put options and sell call options) with a ratio of 20%. - Inventory management: For enterprises with high industrial silicon inventory and worried about inventory depreciation due to price drops, they can short futures contracts and use a combined options strategy (sell call options and buy put options) with recommended hedging ratios of 20% and 10% respectively [5]. 3.2 Important Information and Events to Watch 3.2.1 This Week's Important Information Review - On December 8, Jianghan New Materials announced that a 60,000 - ton/year trichlorosilane plant was put into trial operation in October this year, 10,000 tons of silane production capacity is planned to be put into trial operation in December, and another 10,000 tons each will be put into trial operation in mid - and late - next year. In 2027, optical fiber - grade silicon tetrachloride and electronic - grade tetraethyl orthosilicate plants will be gradually built. - On December 8, GCL Technology announced that its subsidiaries and other parties signed a partnership agreement to establish a limited partnership, which plans to acquire a 42.469% stake in Inner Mongolia Xinyuan Silicon Materials Technology Co., Ltd. from Hongyuan Green Energy and Tibet Ruihua for a total consideration of RMB 2.01 billion [6]. 3.2.2 Next Week's Events to Watch No events to watch were mentioned in the report [7]. 3.3 Disk Interpretation 3.3.1 Price, Volume, and Capital Analysis - The closing price of the industrial silicon weighted index contract on Friday was 8,412 yuan/ton, a week - on - week decrease of 4.66%. The trading volume was 619,800 lots, a week - on - week increase of 113.65%, and the open interest was 460,100 lots, an increase of 19,000 lots week - on - week. The monthly spread between SI2601 and SI2605 was in a back structure, with a week - on - week increase of 90 yuan/ton. The number of warehouse receipts was 8,619 lots, an increase of 1,331 lots week - on - week. - The industrial silicon weighted futures price quickly fell below the 5 - day moving average this week.
