1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - For industrial silicon, the current market supply - demand situation has limited positive factors, and price fluctuations are mainly driven by the macro - environment with cost as the bottom support. Short - term supply surplus remains the main market contradiction, and the price is expected to fluctuate within a narrow range. It is recommended to consider short - selling opportunities for si2605 with a reference pressure level of 9100 - 9200 yuan/ton or buy put options [8]. - For polysilicon, the market still faces dual pressures of high inventory and weak demand, and the industry reshuffle continues. In the short term, the market will continue the weak bottom - seeking trend, and the price still has a small downward space. It is recommended to consider short - selling opportunities for PS2605 with a reference price of 46000 - 47000 yuan/ton or buy put options [11]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Week - ly Views and Hot News Industrial Silicon - **Market Review**: From March 6 to March 13, 2026, the spot price of industrial silicon was basically stable.

The open interest of the main - month contract was about 238,300 lots [8]. - **Supply**: The number of open furnaces increased this week. In Xinjiang, the output was steadily released after the power - on of manufacturers last week. In Yunnan, individual manufacturers rotated open furnaces, and the start - up increased this week. A company in Leshan, Sichuan was baking the furnace for self - use [8]. - **Demand**: The demand of some downstream manufacturers increased slightly this week. The operation of polysilicon was stable, and individual manufacturers signed silicon powder at low prices. The organic silicon monomer plants had large inventory pressure and made rigid purchases of industrial silicon. This week, some aluminum rod enterprises resumed production in Gansu, Inner Mongolia, and Sichuan, increasing the consumption of industrial silicon [8]. - **Cost, Profit, and Inventory**: The production cost of industrial silicon increased slightly this week. Due to the continuous fermentation of international conflicts, the price of petroleum coke increased, and the average production cost of the industry increased slightly. The prices of silica and silicon coal remained unchanged. The cost will remain stable next week. The profit of industrial silicon increased slightly, and the market transaction price was higher than before, with the profit of holders slightly repaired.
