1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided 2. Core View of the Report - The fundamentals' improvement of industrial silicon has reached a dead - end, and the price is oscillating and waiting for a direction. The supply - demand situation is in a loose pattern with both supply and demand increasing. The spot price has stopped falling and stabilized, but there is no actual anti - involution policy, and the supply - side pressure is gradually increasing. The support for the futures price lies in the recent strengthening of cost - related varieties. It is expected to continue the current range - bound operation [4] 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Market Review and Outlook - **Market Performance**: Industrial silicon futures prices continued to rebound. The closing price of Si2511 was 8,655 yuan/ton, with a 0.46% increase. The trading volume was 396,110 lots, and the open interest was 224,390 lots, with a net increase of 15,654 lots [4] - **Spot Price**: Industrial silicon spot prices remained stable. The price of Inner Mongolia 553 was 8,700 yuan/ton, and that of Sichuan 553 was 8,750 yuan/ton. The price of Inner Mongolia 421 was 9,600 yuan/ton, that of Xinjiang 421 was 9,400 yuan/ton, and that of Sichuan 421 was 9,850 yuan/ton [4] - **Future Outlook**: In the fundamentals, the resumption of production in the southwest production areas has driven the output to continuously increase. The weekly output in the first week of August increased to 78,600 tons (this output converted to monthly output will increase to 348,100 tons). On the demand side, the production schedule of polysilicon in August has increased, and the monthly output demand is expected to reach 125,000 tons, but the incremental demand will be digested by the existing industrial silicon production increase. The output of organic silicon has remained generally stable, and there is a lack of short - term increment. The supply - demand of industrial silicon has increased simultaneously, maintaining a loose pattern [4] 3.2 Market News - On August 7th, the futures warehouse receipt volume of the Guangzhou Futures Exchange was 50,475 lots, a net decrease of 105 lots compared with the previous trading day [5] - According to the data of the General Administration of Customs on August 7th, China imported 3.5609 million tons of coal and lignite in July, an increase of 257,200 tons compared with the previous month, a month - on - month increase of 7.8%. From January to July, the cumulative import of coal and lignite was 25.7305 million tons, a year - on - year decrease of 13.0% [5]

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No investment rating for the industry is provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints - The silicon market is characterized by weak supply and demand, with high industry inventory pressure. The sudden production cut by Xinjiang silicon enterprises on the supply - side has supported the short - term silicon price, but the long - term oversupply situation remains [1]. - The polysilicon price has rebounded at a low level driven by the increase in industrial silicon prices. However, due to the industry's overcapacity adjustment that requires time to be transmitted, the rebound space may be limited [1]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Industrial Silicon - **Price Data**: The average price of industrial silicon non - oxygenated 553 (East China) remained flat at 8,100 yuan/ton, and the average price of 421 (East China) industrial silicon remained flat at 8,700 yuan/ton. The closing price of the futures main contract rose 4.02% to 8,030 yuan/ton [1]. - **Supply**: Northern silicon enterprises'开工 has changed little. The southwest production area is about to enter the wet season, with lower power costs and a steady increase in enterprise 开工. The overall supply is increasing steadily [1]. - **Demand**: Polysilicon enterprises continue to cut production, and the resumption of production may be postponed. Organic silicon enterprises have a strong willingness to cut production to support prices, but the demand is weak. The downstream is in a wait - and - see mood, and the actual transaction price has declined. The overall 开工 of domestic monomer enterprises has declined, and the demand for industrial silicon has further weakened. Silicon - aluminum alloy enterprises purchase as needed, and the downstream's willingness to stock up at a low level is insufficient [1]. - **Investment Strategy**: In the short term, the sudden production cut by Xinjiang silicon enterprises has supported the silicon price. In the long term, the oversupply situation remains, and continuous attention should be paid to the actual production dynamics of silicon enterprises [1]. Polysilicon - **Price Data**: The price of N - type dense material remained flat at 33.5 yuan/kg, the price of polysilicon re - feeding material remained flat at 31.5 yuan/kg, the price of polysilicon dense material remained flat at 30.0 yuan/kg, the price of polysilicon cauliflower material remained flat at 28.5 yuan/kg. The closing price of the futures main contract rose 5.04% to 33,315 yuan/ton [1]. - **Supply**: Polysilicon enterprises continue to cut production, and some polysilicon plants may have new production capacity put into operation. After offsetting, the output is expected to increase slightly, but overall it will remain within 100,000 tons [1]. - **Demand**: The photovoltaic market is weak, with rising inventories of silicon wafers and polysilicon, continuous decline in the prices of silicon wafers, battery cells, and components, slow - growing market demand, and weak transactions [1]. - **Investment Strategy**: The polysilicon price has rebounded at a low level, but the rebound space may be limited. Continuous attention should be paid to the actual 开工 situation of the industrial chain [1]. Other Information - From June 20th to June 26th, the weekly output of sample silicon plants in Xinjiang was 34,220 tons, and the weekly 开工 rate was 71%, an increase from the previous week. Recently, news of production cuts by a large Xinjiang enterprise has spread, with more than 20 furnaces shut down, and the daily impact on production is expected to be about 1,500 - 1,700 tons. The duration of the production cut is uncertain, and the expected national supply in July has been lowered [1]. - On June 26th, Swiss solar panel manufacturer Meyer Burger applied for bankruptcy protection in the United States [1]. - Sunkind Energy has signed an agreement with Hangzhou ConfirmWare Technology Co., Ltd. to establish a 4GW solar battery pack production capacity in India [1].
