Report Overview - Report Title: Industrial Silicon Monthly Report - Date: November 01, 2025 - Investment Rating: Not provided - Core Viewpoint: Industrial silicon lacks continuous policy support. The supply-demand imbalance persists, with high inventory levels. The price of the 01 contract is expected to operate cautiously and strongly in the range of 8,500 - 10,000 yuan/ton, but the resistance to rebound above 9,000 yuan/ton increases. Unilateral operation has an unfavorable risk-reward ratio, so it is advisable to wait and see [5][20][21]. 1. Industrial Silicon Market Review and Outlook 1.1 Market Review - Price Fluctuations: The fluctuations in industrial silicon futures and spot prices have significantly decreased. Without policy support, the prices have reached a stalemate. In October, the spot prices remained stable, and the futures prices fluctuated within a range. The monthly closing price of Si2511 was 8,700 yuan/ton, with a monthly increase of 0.69%, and the trading volume was 2.444 million lots, with an open interest of 7,516 lots. The monthly closing price of Si2601 was 9,100 yuan/ton, with a monthly increase of 1.45%, and the trading volume was 2.616 million lots, with an open interest of 229,000 lots, a net increase of 135,000 lots [19]. 1.2 November Outlook - Policy and Demand: Industrial silicon lacks continuous policy support, and the anti-"involution" production cuts in polysilicon are actually negative for the demand side of industrial silicon. The production cuts in the later fourth quarter need further observation [20]. - Supply and Demand: In October, the expected production of industrial silicon was 420,000 tons, while the total demand was 400,250 tons. The supply-demand imbalance has not been reversed. As of the end of October, the industry inventory was 447,700 tons, and the futures inventory was 237,000 tons, totaling 684,700 tons. High inventory accumulation is difficult to reverse [20]. - Price Forecast: The 01 contract price is expected to operate cautiously and strongly in the range of 8,500 - 10,000 yuan/ton, and the resistance to rebound above 9,000 yuan/ton increases. It is advisable to continue using the idea of bottom support and rebound at the lower edge of the range, but unilateral operation has an unfavorable risk-reward ratio [20][21]. 2. Supply Side - Production Statistics: From January to September 2025, the cumulative production of industrial silicon was 2.9345 million tons, a cumulative year-on-year decrease of 16.89%, with an average monthly production of 326,100 tons. The northern regions, except Xinjiang, showed a significant production increase trend, while the southwestern regions continued to reduce production [23]. - Profit and Production Willingness: The profit window for industrial silicon has opened, and enterprises have a strong willingness to increase production. In October, the single-ton cost was 9,093.38 yuan/ton, and the single-ton profit was 179.71 yuan/ton, a slight increase from the previous month. The power price in the southwestern regions is about to rise, which will support the silicon price [23]. - October Production: In October, industrial silicon production continued to grow. The anti-involution policy did not lead to the elimination of backward production capacity. As of the end of October, the total number of furnaces was 796, the number of operating furnaces was 320, and the operating rate was 40.20%. The weekly production gradually increased, mainly due to the resumption of production in large factories in Xinjiang [24]. 3. Demand Side 3.1 Import and Export - Export: In September, the export volume of industrial silicon decreased slightly. From January to September, the cumulative export volume was 561,600 tons, a cumulative year-on-year increase of 1.55%, with an average monthly export volume of 62,400 tons [37]. - Import: From January to September, the cumulative import volume was 8,601.55 tons, a cumulative year-on-year decrease of 63.55% [37]. 3.2 Organic Silicon Demand - Industry Status: In 2024, the effective production capacity of organic silicon reached 3.53 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 11.72%; the production was 2.5213 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 15.75%, and the capacity utilization rate was 71.43%. The supply-demand imbalance in the organic silicon market has not been reversed, and the spot price is still below the cost line [38]. - Demand for Industrial Silicon: The demand for industrial silicon from the organic silicon market remains stable. From January to September, the cumulative production of organic silicon (DMC) was 1.978 million tons, and the demand for industrial silicon was 1.0286 million tons. The monthly production in October is expected to remain at around 220,000 tons, with little change in the overall demand for industrial silicon [39]. 3.3 Polysilicon Demand - Profit and Production: Since the end of June, policy support has opened up profit margins for polysilicon enterprises. In October, the average production cost of polysilicon was 41,443 yuan/ton, and the theoretical net profit per ton was as high as 9,157 yuan/ton. High profits and industry self-discipline may weaken the actual effect of anti-involution production cuts [48]. - Production Forecast: From January to October, the cumulative production of polysilicon was 1.0839 million tons. In October, the domestic polysilicon production is expected to reach 137,500 tons, a month-on-month increase of 6.2%. According to the enterprise production plan, the monthly production in November - December is expected to fall back to 125,000 - 130,000 tons [48][49]. - Inventory Situation: The supply-demand mismatch in the polysilicon market persists, and the spot market continues to accumulate inventory. As of October 30, the spot inventory was 273,040 tons, a 13.33% increase from the previous month. It is expected that the inventory accumulation speed will slow down in November and December, but the industry inventory at the end of 2025 is likely to exceed 400,000 tons [49].

Group 1: Market Outlook - The demand for cement is expected to decline in 2026, but infrastructure investments may provide some support due to the initiation of major projects and policies from the 20th Central Committee [2] - Supply-side optimization and stricter production scheduling are anticipated to improve the supply-demand relationship and pricing in the long term [2] Group 2: Production Capacity Management - The implementation of production restrictions is expected to optimize supply, leading to a substantial reduction in total supply and improved capacity utilization [2] - The company is actively advancing capacity replacement through internal adjustments and external acquisitions, with six production line replacement plans already announced [4] Group 3: Financial Performance and Shareholder Returns - The company has completed a cash dividend distribution of approximately CNY 266 million for the 2024 fiscal year as part of its three-year shareholder return plan [3] - Future dividend levels will be determined based on development strategy, cash flow, and investment needs [3] Group 4: Asset Management and Innovation - The company is focusing on transforming production lines to produce new materials, such as metallurgical lime, to minimize asset losses from capacity adjustments [5] - Strategic integration plans in core regions will enhance competitive advantages by selecting high-quality assets and extending the supply chain [6]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - For industrial silicon, the supply - demand pattern may improve as the spot price center moves up slightly, with increased northwest开工 in the near term and southwest production cuts starting at the end of October. The industrial silicon valuation is low, and if there are relevant policies, the futures price may rise. For short - term, it's recommended to operate within a range, and for the dry - season contracts, it's advisable to go long at low prices [1][3]. - For polysilicon, the supply - demand fundamentals are average with large inventory pressure. Although the production has started to decrease recently and is expected to decline in November, the downstream production schedule may also weaken. The futures price is affected by anti - involution policies and weak reality, with large fluctuations. In the medium - to - long - term, it's suitable to lay out long positions at low prices. In the short - term, it's recommended to operate within a range [4][7]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs Industrial Silicon Market Analysis - **Futures Market**: On October 30, 2025, the industrial silicon futures price showed a strong and volatile trend.

Group 1: Monetary Policy Impact - The Federal Reserve has initiated a rate-cutting cycle, creating a favorable financial environment for the non-ferrous metals sector [2][4] - Historical data shows that previous Fed rate-cutting cycles led to significant increases in non-ferrous metal prices, with copper prices rising from $1,400/ton to $8,700/ton after the 2001 crisis and from $3,000/ton to $10,000/ton post-2008 [3][4] Group 2: Supply and Demand Dynamics - There is a notable supply-demand imbalance in the non-ferrous metals market, particularly for copper, which has led to rising prices [5][6] - Major copper mines, including Kamoa-Kakula, El Teniente, and Grasberg, have faced production halts, exacerbating supply tightness [5][6] - Global refined copper consumption from January to August 2025 reached 18.83 million tons, a 5.90% increase year-on-year, with China's consumption growing by 11.05% [6][7] Group 3: Policy Developments - The Chinese government's "anti-involution" policy aims to address low-price competition and may lead to a new round of supply-side reforms in the non-ferrous metals industry [8][9] - The policy is expected to constrain supply, potentially raising the price floor for metals, particularly in the copper smelting sector [9] Group 4: Investment Opportunities - Non-ferrous metal ETFs, such as 512400, provide efficient investment tools for investors looking to capitalize on the sector's growth [10][12] - The index tracked by the ETF includes leading companies across various segments, offering a balanced exposure to industrial metals, precious metals, and strategic metals [10][12]

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core View of the Report - Overseas, influenced by the hawkish stance of Fed Chair Powell, the US dollar index strengthened, and global risk appetite cooled. Domestically, economic growth accelerated, and the meeting between Chinese and US leaders and a series of agreements reached boosted domestic market optimism. Policy stimulus expectations increased after the Fourth Plenary Session of the CPC, which helped lift domestic risk appetite. The recent market trading logic focused on domestic incremental stimulus policies and Sino - US trade negotiations, with short - term upward macro - drivers strengthening. Attention should be paid to the progress of Sino - US trade negotiations and the implementation of domestic incremental policies [3][4]. Summary by Related Catalogs Macro Finance - **Overall Situation**: Overseas, Fed Chair Powell's hawkish attitude led to a stronger US dollar index and cooled global risk appetite. Domestically, economic growth accelerated, the Sino - US meeting boosted optimism, and policy stimulus expectations increased. The market focused on domestic policies and Sino - US trade talks, with short - term upward macro - drivers strengthening [3]. - **Asset Recommendations**: Stock indices were short - term oscillating and slightly stronger, with short - term cautious long positions recommended. Treasury bonds were short - term oscillating, and cautious observation was advised. In the commodity sector, black metals were short - term oscillating and rebounding, with short - term cautious long positions; non - ferrous metals were short - term oscillating and rebounding, with short - term cautious long positions; energy and chemicals were short - term oscillating, with cautious long positions; precious metals were short - term in a high - level correction, and cautious observation was recommended [3]. Stock Indices - **Market Performance**: Domestic stocks fell sharply due to the drag of semiconductor components, military, and gaming sectors. However, economic growth acceleration, the Sino - US meeting, and policy stimulus expectations strengthened short - term upward macro - drivers. Short - term market sentiment subsided, leading to a short - term correction. Short - term cautious long positions were recommended [4]. Precious Metals - **Market Performance**: The precious metals market rose on Thursday night. The main contract of Shanghai gold closed at 920.40 yuan/gram, up 1.11%; the main contract of Shanghai silver closed at 11448 yuan/kg, up 1.47%. Spot gold rebounded and closed up 2.39% at 4024.49 US dollars/ounce. - **Outlook**: Short - term oscillation, with the medium - to - long - term upward pattern unchanged. Short - term observation was recommended, and medium - to - long - term buying on dips was advised [4]. Black Metals - **Steel**: On Thursday, the domestic steel futures and spot markets continued a small - scale rebound. The trading volume was low. Sino - US trade conflicts eased, with some tariffs cancelled and restrictions postponed. Steel inventories continued to decline, and the apparent consumption of five major steel products increased by 23.69 tons month - on - month. Supply might decline as steel mill profits were compressed and environmental restrictions were imposed in Hebei. The market was mainly driven by macro - logic, and prices were expected to be oscillating and slightly stronger [5][6]. - **Iron Ore**: On Thursday, the spot price of iron ore fell slightly, while the futures price continued to be strong. The recent rebound was due to strong macro - expectations and a significant decline in arrivals. With compressed steel mill profits, hot metal production was below 240 tons and might decline further. Steel mills mainly made rigid - demand replenishments. The price was expected to be in a short - term range - bound oscillation [6]. - **Silicon Manganese/Silicon Iron**: On Thursday, the spot prices of silicon iron and silicon manganese were flat. The futures price of silicon manganese rebounded slightly, and that of silicon iron fell slightly. The demand for ferroalloys was acceptable as the production of five major steel products increased slightly. The supply of silicon manganese decreased slightly. The prices of silicon iron and silicon manganese were expected to continue range - bound oscillations [7]. - **Soda Ash**: On Thursday, the main contract of soda ash oscillated within a range. Supply increased in the short term as some plants resumed production, and there were capacity expansion plans in the fourth quarter. Demand increased slightly. The industry lacked clear policy - following motivation, and supply pressure remained. A bearish view was recommended in the medium - to - long - term [8]. - **Glass**: On Thursday, the main contract of glass oscillated within a range. Supply remained stable, and demand in the peak season was weak. The inventory of float glass was relatively high. The anti - involution policy provided some support, and the price was expected to be oscillating and slightly stronger in the short term, with attention paid to the demand during the year - end peak construction season [8]. Non - Ferrous Metals and New Energy - **Copper**: The Fed cut interest rates by 25BP, but Powell's remarks on a December rate cut were hawkish. US copper inventories were at a historical high, restricting import demand. The shutdown of an Indonesian copper mine tightened the global supply, but the possible restart of a Panamanian copper mine was a risk. Domestic refined copper de - stocking was less than expected. LME's restriction on large near - month positions limited the upside of copper prices, and short - term high - level oscillations were expected [9]. - **Aluminum**: On Thursday, aluminum prices fell slightly. The Fed's hawkish stance and the fading of market optimism after the Sino - US meeting led to a decline in risk assets. The falling LME aluminum inventory supported the LME 3 - month aluminum price, which was expected to drive up the Shanghai aluminum price, but the increase in Shanghai aluminum would be smaller due to poor domestic fundamentals [9]. - **Tin**: After the maintenance of a large Yunnan smelter ended, the smelting start - up rate increased by 21.3% to 71.61%. The supply of tin ore was tight as Indonesia cracked down on illegal mining and adjusted the mining approval cycle. High prices suppressed demand, but some downstream enterprises made small - scale rigid - demand replenishments, and inventory decreased. Tin prices were expected to remain in high - level oscillations [10]. - **Lithium Carbonate**: On Thursday, the main contract of lithium carbonate rose 1.19%. Supply and demand both increased, with weekly production hitting new highs and strong demand in the peak season. Social inventory decreased slightly, and the number of warehouse receipts decreased rapidly. Short - term oscillation and a slightly stronger trend were expected, but attention should be paid to the upside hedging pressure [11]. - **Industrial Silicon**: On Thursday, the main contract of industrial silicon rose 0.94%. Demand was relatively stable, and social inventory increased slightly at a high level. With cost support from大厂 cash - flow costs and rising coal prices, the market was expected to be oscillating and slightly stronger [11]. - **Polysilicon**: On Thursday, the main contract of polysilicon fell 0.15%. The supply was high, and demand was low. Attention should be paid to the strengthening of policy expectations such as state purchases and the support of spot prices [12]. Energy and Chemicals - **Crude Oil**: Oil prices changed little for two consecutive days. The market was waiting to see the impact of US sanctions on Russian producers and the progress of Sino - US trade negotiations. The Fed's stance reduced the expectation of a December rate cut, putting pressure on oil prices. Attention should be paid to OPEC's new production policy on Sunday, and oil prices faced long - term pressure [13]. - **Asphalt**: The cost support for asphalt weakened as oil price rebounds stalled, and the futures price fell slightly. Although inventory decreased recently, the de - stocking speed would slow down as the demand off - season approached. The supply pressure decreased temporarily, but attention should be paid to the rebound space of oil prices driven by Russian oil sanctions, and the asphalt market lacked strong upward drivers [13]. - **PX**: Crude oil prices were stable, and the tight supply of PX provided cost support. PX prices oscillated. Although PX prices decreased with the high - start of PTA, there was still some demand support. The PXN spread and the PX outer - market price rebounded slightly. PX was likely to follow crude oil fluctuations, with a relatively high bearish risk [14]. - **PTA**: The meeting of leading manufacturers did not reach a substantial anti - involution agreement. The spot basis was - 70, with a possible slight decline in the future. Some winter clothing orders were booming, and downstream inventory decreased. The PTA inventory accumulation speed slowed down, but the processing fee was low. The implementation of anti - involution policies and cost logic were the main drivers, and the price was expected to be short - term oscillating with high bearish pressure in the future [14]. - **Ethylene Glycol**: Port inventory decreased slightly to 52.3 tons. The price followed the stalled oil price rebound and fell slightly. Downstream inventory decreased, and feedstock purchases increased. The price tested the lower support. Further upward movement required continuous de - stocking, and the cost - boosting factor might weaken, with short - term oscillations expected [15][16]. - **Short - Fiber**: Short - fiber prices oscillated with the polyester sector in the short term but faced high pressure in the future. Terminal orders declined seasonally, and short - fiber production decreased in some areas, with inventory accumulating slightly. Further de - stocking depended on whether terminal orders could continue to rise counter - seasonally, and the upside space was limited. Medium - term short positions were recommended [16]. - **Methanol**: The domestic methanol market declined, and port spot prices oscillated at a low level. Supply pressure was expected to increase as some plants would restart and imported goods continued to arrive. Demand was weak, and inventory was high. The price was expected to oscillate in the short term [17]. - **PP**: The market quotations mostly oscillated. The supply was sufficient, and demand improved due to "Double Eleven" stocking. Inventory decreased slightly, and the price might have a short - term recovery [17]. - **LLDPE**: The price of LLDPE fluctuated slightly. Supply was expected to increase, and industrial inventory decreased. Demand was expected to improve as the downstream PE industry's start - up rate might increase slightly, and the greenhouse film production was in the peak season. The price was expected to recover in the short term, but the supply - surplus situation remained, and the rebound was weak [18]. - **Urea**: The urea market was generally weak, but some low - end quotations had good transactions. Supply was abundant, and demand from agriculture and industry was stable, with some reserve demand likely to be released. Enterprise inventory increased slightly, and port inventory decreased significantly. The price was expected to oscillate at a low level [18]. Agricultural Products - **US Soybeans**: The CBOT January soybean contract rose 1.14% to 1107.75. US soybean exports had decreased by 45% year - on - year so far this crop year. The Sino - US trade consensus might open the agricultural product trade window, and US soybeans were expected to strengthen. However, the lack of USDA reports and stable South American weather provided little fundamental guidance [19][20]. - **Soybean and Rapeseed Meal**: Domestic soybean arrivals and inventories were high, and oil mills maintained high - level production, resulting in sufficient soybean meal supply. The improvement of Sino - US agricultural trade relations reduced the risk of soybean shortages, and inventory accumulation might limit the upside of soybean meal prices [20]. - **Palm Oil**: The BMD crude palm oil futures rebounded, supported by technical buying, the rise of Dalian soybean oil, and the weakening of the ringgit. Southeast Asian palm oil inventories were low, and the production season had entered a decline cycle. The details and progress of Indonesia's B50 biodiesel policy were uncertain. After continuous declines, palm oil was in a technically oversold state, and short - selling should be cautious [20]. - **Soybean and Rapeseed Oil**: Soybean oil supply was sufficient, and inventory was high. In the consumption peak season, it had a cost - performance advantage, and the spot basis was strong. The price difference between soybean oil and palm oil continued to narrow. Rapeseed oil inventory decreased, but the possible supply from Australia and Russia and the Sino - Canadian trade dialogue put pressure on rapeseed oil prices [21]. - **Corn**: The price of corn in the northern ports continued to decline slightly, and the price in the production areas changed little. The Sino - US trade negotiations affected the market, and traders' intention to build inventory was weak. The market price was close to the planting cost, and high - quality corn was scarce. As the temperature dropped, farmers' reluctance to sell might slow down the price decline [21]. - **Hogs**: The national average price of live hogs was 12.63 yuan/kg, down 0.04 yuan/kg. After the continuous rise in hog prices, slaughterhouses' procurement was normal, but the planned volume was limited. The strong price difference between fat and standard hogs increased the enthusiasm for second - fattening and farmers' reluctance to sell. Hog prices had stabilized in the short term, but the supply - demand mismatch pressure in November was high, and there was little room for a significant rebound [21].
