Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No industry investment rating is provided in the report. 2. Report Core View The report analyzes the market trends, core logics, technical aspects, and provides strategy suggestions for three commodities: lithium carbonate, polysilicon, and industrial silicon futures. It also lists the subsequent focus points for each commodity. 3. Summary by Commodity Lithium Carbonate - **Market Trend**: The lithium carbonate futures fluctuated. The main 2605 contract rose 0.79% from the previous trading day's closing price, reaching 163,220 yuan/ton [1]. - **Core Logic**: After the exchange's regulatory intervention on the 13th, market sentiment cooled. The sharp rise at the beginning of the week was due to the export tax - rebate policy, which might prompt battery companies to stock up, and the booming domestic energy - storage project bidding. However, the continuous decline in positions may lead to a risk of concentrated profit - taking by long positions [1]. - **Technical Analysis**: It is still controlled by long positions. The 5 - minute and overnight 2 - hour cycles show certain trends, with the long - short dividing line at 143,420 yuan/ton. The continuous decline in positions requires caution [2]. - **Strategy Suggestion**: In the context of "strong reality and strong expectation", the operation should be mainly to go long on dips. Avoid chasing highs directly and find good entry points according to certain methods. Listen to the 8:30 morning live - broadcast for specific operations [2][3]. - **Follow - up Focus**: The actual progress of battery exports in the first quarter, the recovery of new energy vehicle sales after subsidy extension, and the actual impact of geopolitical situations on lithium ore supply [4][5]. Polysilicon - **Market Trend**: The polysilicon futures continued to decline. The main 2605 contract fell 0.56% from the previous trading day's closing price, reaching 48,670 yuan/ton [10][12]. - **Core Logic**: After the market supervision department's约谈, the silicon material price will return to cost - based competition. The supply and demand are both weak, and the inventory is at a three - year high. The futures price may continue to fluctuate weakly, and it has reached a six - month low [12]. - **Technical Analysis**: The positions continued to decline. The 5 - minute and overnight 2 - hour cycles show certain trends, with the long - short dividing line at 53,610 yuan/ton [12]. - **Strategy Suggestion**: Wait for low - buying opportunities after stabilization as the decline amplitude is narrowing [12]. - **Follow - up Focus**: The subsequent policy direction of "anti - involution" [13]. Industrial Silicon - **Market Trend**: The industrial silicon futures fluctuated. The 2605 contract decreased 0.29% from the previous trading day's closing price, reaching 8,730 yuan/ton [16]. - **Core Logic**: It is controlled by short positions. The supply and demand are both weak, the downstream procurement is sluggish, and the inventory is at a three - year high. There is cost support below, and it is expected to continue to fluctuate in the short term [16]. - **Technical Analysis**: The overall positions continued to decline. The 5 - minute and overnight 2 - hour cycles show certain trends, with the long - short dividing line at 8,815 yuan/ton [16]. - **Strategy Suggestion**: In the middle of the oscillation range, short on rebounds. Long - term attention should be paid to the impact of polysilicon's return to cost - based pricing on industrial silicon. Refer to the band winner indicator in the 8:30 morning live - broadcast for intraday operations [16]. - **Follow - up Focus**: The subsequent policy direction of "anti - involution" [17].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant information provided. 2. Core Views of the Report - The lithium carbonate market is in a situation of "strong reality, strong expectation", and the operation should still be mainly to go long on dips [1]. - The polysilicon market may continue to be weak, and attention should be paid to the support level at 50,000 yuan [7]. - The industrial silicon market is expected to remain under pressure, and it is currently oscillating in the range of 8,500 - 9,000 yuan [10][12]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs 3.1 Lithium Carbonate - **Market Trend**: The lithium carbonate futures fluctuated widely today. The main 2605 contract fell 1.09% from the previous trading day's closing price, reporting 143,420 yuan/ton [1]. - **Core Logic**: The recent trading logic mainly includes the confirmed price increase of downstream lithium iron phosphate and the smooth price transmission downstream, as well as the concerns about the stability of South American lithium resource supply due to the sudden change in the geopolitical situation in Venezuela. Today's weekly production and inventory data showed an increase of 115 tons in production and a stockpile of 337 tons. However, there is a phenomenon of traders locking in inventory, and the inventories of smelters and downstream are at the lowest levels of the year, with the smelter inventory reaching a three - year low [1]. - **Technical Analysis**: From the perspective of overall capital sentiment, the lithium carbonate futures are still controlled by bulls. However, the position has been declining recently, and the risk of bulls taking profits and closing positions should be vigilant. The 5 - minute cycle of the main 2605 contract is a red line, blue ribbon, and red ladder. The overnight 2 - hour cycle is still a strong red ladder line, and the long - short dividing water level is 121,580 yuan/ton [1]. - **Strategy Suggestion**: In the context of "strong reality, strong expectation", the operation should still be mainly to go long on dips. Do not chase the high directly. Find good entry positions according to the "First K Breakthrough Method" or "Three - Line Resonance Method" intraday, and specific operations can be heard in the 8:30 morning live broadcast [1]. - **Follow - up Focus**: Follow - up attention should be paid to whether the exchange supervision intervenes, the recovery of new energy vehicle sales data after the subsidy continuation, and the actual impact of the geopolitical situation on lithium ore supply [2][3]. 3.2 Polysilicon - **Market Trend**: The polysilicon futures continued to decline today. The main 2605 contract fell 4.31% from the previous trading day's closing price, reporting 51,300 yuan/ton [5]. - **Core Logic**: It was confirmed today that the State Administration for Market Regulation interviewed the China Photovoltaic Industry Association and leading enterprises on January 6, requiring them not to make agreements on production capacity, capacity utilization, production and sales volume, and sales price, etc. Previously, the polysilicon futures were trading in a high - level range between 55,000 and 60,000 yuan. Now, the silicon material price can no longer be maintained at a high level through cooperation and will return to cost competition. Leading enterprises may squeeze out small enterprises by reducing costs through technology, and the price may continue to fall [5][7]. - **Technical Analysis**: The position of polysilicon futures still declined significantly today. The 5 - minute cycle of the 2605 contract is a green line, green ribbon, and green ladder, and the overnight 2 - hour cycle is a weak green ladder line. The long - short dividing water level is 59,365 yuan/ton [7]. - **Strategy Suggestion**: The polysilicon market may continue to be weak, and attention should be paid to the support level at 50,000 yuan [7]. - **Follow - up Focus**: The follow - up policy trend of "anti - involution" [7]. 3.3 Industrial Silicon - **Market Trend**: The industrial silicon futures fluctuated strongly today. The 2605 contract rose 2.11% from the previous trading day's closing price, reporting 8,715 yuan/ton [10]. - **Core Logic**: The interview of the photovoltaic association and leading enterprises by the State Administration for Market Regulation will cause the silicon material price to lose the coordinated support and return to cost competition. In the long run, polysilicon enterprises will reduce the purchase price and quantity of industrial silicon, directly putting pressure on the industrial silicon price. Coupled with the weak supply - demand situation and high inventory of industrial silicon itself, it lacks upward momentum [10]. - **Technical Analysis**: The overall position of industrial silicon futures declined significantly. The 5 - minute cycle of the 2605 contract is a green line, red ribbon, and green ladder, and the overnight 2 - hour cycle is a weak green ladder line. The long - short dividing water level is 9,000 yuan/ton [10]. - **Strategy Suggestion**: It is currently oscillating in the 8,500 - 9,000 yuan range. In the long term, attention can be paid to the impact of polysilicon returning to cost - based pricing on industrial silicon. Intraday operations can refer to the Band Winner indicator in the 8:30 morning live broadcast [12]. - **Follow - up Focus**: The follow - up policy trend of "anti - involution" [12].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The investment rating of manganese silicon/silicon iron is "Oscillating" [7] 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The ferroalloy industry will continue to face over - capacity in 2026, with planned new capacity additions. The industry's supply elasticity is high, and profit recovery will stimulate supply. Manganese ore cost provides some support for manganese silicon, and the demand for magnesium metal offers marginal support for silicon iron. With expected electricity price cuts in 2026, overall cost support will weaken, and ferroalloy prices are likely to remain weak [4] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1. 2025 Ferroalloy Market Review - **Manganese Silicon**: The market showed a rise - then - fall pattern in 2025. In Q1, manganese ore price increases drove up costs and prices, followed by a decline due to increased supply and weak demand. In Q2, there was a rebound and then a fall. In Q3, prices strengthened with cost support, and in Q4, the market entered a weak - oscillating phase [14] - **Silicon Iron**: The market trended downwards in 2025. In Q1, weak demand and supply contraction led to a lack of price support. In Q2, cost reduction and weak demand pushed prices down. In Q3, cost increases drove up prices, and in Q4, the market declined again due to cost weakening and supply pressure [17] 2. Manganese Silicon: Continuous Capacity Expansion, Weakening Cost Support 2.1 Manganese Ore Support Limited, Electricity Price Declining - **Manganese Ore Supply Recovery, Limited Price Support**: In 2025, manganese ore prices first rose, then fell, and finally oscillated. The increase in Q1 was due to reduced Gabonese ore arrivals and concentrated cargo rights. After Q2, supply increased, and prices stabilized. China's manganese ore imports increased by 11% in 2025. In 2026, the supply increase will mainly come from South32's recovery, with an expected net import increase of 300,000 - 400,000 tons [25][26][35] - **Port Manganese Ore Inventory Rising from Low Levels**: In 2025, port inventory decreased in H1 and increased in H2. In 2026, inventory accumulation is expected to be limited. High ferromanganese slag production also affected inventory [41] - **Other Costs Weakening**: In 2026, coking coal prices are expected to have a bottom - up but limited - upside trend. Electricity prices are likely to decline due to the increase in new energy capacity, with a potential reduction of 2 - 3 cents per kWh in Northwest China [56] 2.2 New Capacity Coming into Operation - The manganese silicon industry is over - capacity, but low - electricity - price regions like Inner Mongolia have cost advantages, leading to continuous capacity expansion. In 2026, the planned new capacity is about 2.8632 million tons, and supply will increase [58] 2.3 Manganese Silicon Supply - Demand Summary and Balance Sheet - **Supply**: Supply will increase in 2026 due to new capacity in low - cost regions [72] - **Cost**: The cost - reduction pressure mainly comes from electricity prices, with a possible 2 - 3 cent per kWh reduction in Northwest China [72] - **Demand**: In 2026, steel demand is expected to be flat, and manganese silicon demand will be under pressure due to weak building material demand [72] - **Overall**: The 2026 manganese silicon market will have "increasing supply and stable demand", with a price range of 5,200 - 6,300 yuan/ton [73] 3. Silicon Iron: Increasing Supply, Weak Demand Support 3.1 Over - Capacity, Reduced Supply in High - Cost Regions - In 2025, silicon iron production decreased, with a "high - then - low" pattern. High - cost regions like Qinghai and Gansu reduced production. In 2026, new capacity of about 1.038 million tons is expected, mainly in cost - advantage regions [77][78] 3.2 Cost Reduction - In 2026, electricity prices are expected to decline by 2 - 3 cents per kWh in Northwest China. Lanthanum coke prices may also fall, leading to a lower cost center for silicon iron [83] 3.3 Steel Demand Stable, Export Declining, Magnesium Metal Supporting - **Export**: In 2025, silicon iron exports were high. In 2026, exports may decline due to high tariffs and potential competition from Ukraine [92] - **Magnesium Metal**: In 2026, the demand for magnesium alloy is expected to increase, providing some support for silicon iron, but the proportion is small [92] - **Steel**: In 2026, steel demand is expected to be stable, having a neutral impact on silicon iron demand [93] 3.4 Silicon Iron Supply - Demand Summary and Balance Sheet - **Supply**: New capacity will be concentrated in cost - advantage regions, with an expected increase in 2026 [96] - **Cost**: Electricity and coal prices are expected to decline, weakening cost support [96] - **Demand**: Exports may decline, and magnesium metal demand will provide limited support. Steel demand will be stable [96] - **Overall**: In 2026, the silicon iron market may have increasing supply and demand, with a price range of 5,000 - 6,000 yuan/ton [97]
