节后复工潮来袭!锡价站上 41 万关口,回收商该 “囤货” 还是 “快出”?
Xin Lang Cai Jing· 2026-02-26 10:25
截至 2026 年 2 月 26 日,据长江有色金属网获悉,长江现货 1# 锡报价区间 414250-416250 元 / 吨,均 价 415250 元 / 吨,单日暴涨 11500 元,强势站上 41 万关口。在节后复工提速、全球宏观情绪回暖的双 重驱动下,锡价迎来 "开门红",但涨幅受限的背后,是供需博弈与外部风险的多重拉扯。本文结合当 日锡市行情、宏观动向及产业逻辑,拆解锡价上涨的核心驱动,为回收商与投资者提供实操参考。 一、价格表现:单日暴涨 11500 元,锡价站上 41 万关口 2 月 26 日,锡价迎来节后最强单日涨幅,长江现货 1# 锡均价跳涨至 415250 元 / 吨,较前一交易日大 涨 11500 元,涨幅近 2.86%。从日内走势看,锡价开盘即跳空高开,依托 41 万关口强势上行,现货市 场 "有货难求",贸易商惜售情绪浓厚,下游企业询盘踊跃,成交氛围显著升温。 但值得注意的是,锡价涨幅并未延续早盘的强势,午后有所收窄,呈现 "冲高回落" 态势,显示市场在 41 万关口存在明显分歧,短期上涨动能有所衰减。 二、核心驱动:供应收缩 + 宏观利好,涨幅受限源于需求现实 涨幅受限的关键因素 ...

Group 1 - The core viewpoint of the article highlights the significant demand for silver in the market, driven by both physical investment and industrial needs, leading to a historical premium in silver contracts on the Shanghai Futures Exchange [3] - The recent surge in silver premiums is attributed to a supply crisis and depletion of deliverable materials, with analysts indicating that unless smelters increase production significantly during the upcoming holiday, the tightness in supply is likely to persist [3] - The current silver futures trading shows a slight upward trend, with prices fluctuating around 20,600.00 yuan per kilogram, indicating a bullish short-term outlook [1] Group 2 - The silver inventory at the Shanghai Futures Exchange has dropped to its lowest level in over a decade, exacerbating the scarcity of physical silver and leading to increased costs for industrial procurement [3] - There is a dual engine of demand: strong physical investment demand, particularly from the Shenzhen market, and concentrated industrial purchases for solar panel production, as manufacturers rush to complete orders before the April 1 export tax rebate deadline [3] - The trading volume on the Shanghai Futures Exchange has decreased to a four-year low, suggesting that investors are reducing positions ahead of the holiday, which may lead to lower volatility in the short term [3][4]

Group 1: Industry Investment Rating - No relevant information provided Group 2: Core Views - Industrial silicon prices are expected to remain range - bound. Supply contraction provides price support, but high polysilicon inventory suppresses demand, and the price lacks upward momentum. The upward potential depends on downstream demand recovery and inventory reduction, while the downward space is limited by cost support and production cut expectations [2] - Polysilicon prices are expected to continue to fluctuate. Supply contraction in February provides price support, but downstream cost drags down demand, and the large inventory is being reduced slowly, suppressing price increases. Before April, the "rush to export" phenomenon has no obvious driving force, and the market awaits the supply - demand game [5] Group 3: Market Analysis Industrial Silicon - On February 12, 2026, the industrial silicon futures price fluctuated and fell.

“铜途多舛待春归,供需博弈觅新机”——铜价走势预期展望
Xin Lang Cai Jing· 2026-02-10 04:36
Core Viewpoint - The copper market is experiencing a complex and volatile situation influenced by macroeconomic and microeconomic factors, with future price movements remaining uncertain [2][3][6] Macroeconomic Factors - Recent positive macroeconomic signals, including rising U.S. stock markets and a declining dollar index, have provided support for copper prices, making it more attractive to overseas buyers [2] - The continuous rise in international oil prices has also boosted market risk appetite, potentially increasing demand for industrial metals like copper [2] Supply Side Challenges - Significant supply disruptions in overseas copper mines have led to a reduction of nearly 1 million tons in annual supply, accounting for 4% of global copper supply, with bleak prospects for recovery [3] - Domestic copper concentrate processing fees are low, around -50 USD per dry ton, indicating ongoing tightness in supply, although refined copper production has increased due to previous high copper prices [3] Demand Dynamics - Demand in China is mixed, with a weakening outlook as buyers extend their holiday breaks and reduce spot purchases, leading to a rise in inventory levels [4] - However, as the Chinese New Year approaches, some downstream enterprises are showing increased pre-holiday stocking demand, providing some support for copper prices [4] Inventory Trends - LME registered copper inventories have increased by 25% to 184,300 tons, while Shanghai Futures Exchange inventories have surged over 60% to 248,911 tons, exerting downward pressure on copper prices [5] - The increase in inventory is partly seasonal, and as the holiday period ends, there is potential for inventory to be gradually digested [5] Future Price Outlook - The short-term outlook for copper prices is expected to be volatile, with a potential for upward movement as downstream demand is anticipated to recover post-holiday [6] - Long-term demand prospects for copper remain strong due to global economic recovery and growth in sectors like renewable energy, suggesting opportunities for investors [6]

【安泰科】工业硅周评—供需博弈加剧 市场震荡寻底(2026年1月22–28日)
Core Viewpoint - The industrial silicon market is experiencing a dual weakness in supply and demand, with a shift in focus from "weak demand" to "weak supply-demand balance" as production cuts are implemented by suppliers [1][2]. Supply Side Summary - The supply of industrial silicon is tightening, with low operating rates in Sichuan and Yunnan, and some companies in Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia planning maintenance or production cuts due to ongoing losses [1][2]. - A major enterprise in Xinjiang is expected to implement production cuts starting in February, potentially affecting about 50% of its capacity for approximately one month, which has positively influenced market sentiment [1]. Demand Side Summary - Overall downstream demand remains weak, with the polysilicon price stable but inventory levels continuing to rise, limiting the efficiency of procurement despite short-term boosts from export tax policy changes [2]. - The organic silicon market is experiencing low trading activity, and aluminum alloy demand is marginally weakening, leading to primarily just-in-time purchasing for industrial silicon [2]. Price Summary - As of January 28, the industrial silicon futures price was reported at 8,760 yuan/ton, with a slight decline of 60 yuan/ton [1]. - The national average price for industrial silicon was stable at 9,245 yuan/ton, with specific regional prices in Xinjiang at 8,810 yuan/ton, Yunnan at 10,005 yuan/ton, and Sichuan at 10,050 yuan/ton [3][4]. - Export FOB prices have decreased by 50 USD/ton due to weak overseas demand [1][2].
