西南枯水期减产，工业硅供应过剩收窄 ——工业硅/多晶硅周度行情分析 海证期货研究所 2025年11月21日 1 硅产业核心观点： 价差套利：观望。 2 供应端：西南已进入枯水期减产，同时新疆产量仍在释放，增减相抵后，预计11月工业硅总产量下降至40万吨左右。另外需关注工业硅存量产 能优化相关正式文件，目前工业硅反内卷无进展。 需求端： 11月开始西南地区多晶硅产能受丰枯水期影响存在减产预期，预计多晶硅产量下降至12-13万吨，不过当前多晶硅利润较好，需要关 注西北复产量级变化。另外收储实际进度目前无正式文件公布（近期关于收储的表态一定程度打击市场信心），然多晶硅作为此次反内卷的标兵，做 空面临较大的政策风险。有机硅联合减产计划于12月1日起执行，据SMM预估12月对工业硅单月消费量影响在0.44万吨，铝合金产量预计仍处于高位， 目前估算11月工业硅仍处于过剩中，只是过剩幅度明显收窄（12月预估过剩程度较11月略收窄）。 多晶硅"反内卷"逻辑反复，期货价 格具有较强韧性，这对工业硅价格溢价有利好，但枯水期+收储落地后可能增加减产力度，导致工业硅在光伏板块需求有受冲击的风险。 综合看，对工业硅而言，西南枯水期来临 ...

Core Viewpoint - The photovoltaic market is experiencing a weak supply and demand situation, leading to a decline in polysilicon futures prices despite ongoing discussions about "stockpiling" policies [2][3][4]. Group 1: Market Dynamics - As of November 7, polysilicon futures for the main contract closed at 53,215 yuan/ton, reflecting a weekly decline of 5.51% [2]. - The repeated announcements regarding "stockpiling" have diminished their impact on the market, with analysts noting that the lack of substantial progress has led to a reversion to fundamental trading [2][4]. - The current market structure is characterized by weak fundamentals driving prices down, while expectations of "stockpiling" are exerting upward pressure [4]. Group 2: Supply and Demand Analysis - The polysilicon market is facing a dual weakness in supply and demand, with supply expected to decrease by 12.4% due to maintenance by two major producers [3]. - Demand is also weak, with November's production of silicon wafers and battery cells projected to decline, resulting in a year-on-year decrease in photovoltaic installations of 53.75% [3]. - Current polysilicon inventory stands at a high of 301,000 tons, indicating an ongoing oversupply situation [3]. Group 3: Future Outlook - Analysts suggest that if the "stockpiling" initiative does not progress, polysilicon prices will remain under downward pressure due to high inventory and weak demand [4]. - The future price trajectory of polysilicon will depend on the resolution of funding issues related to the "stockpiling" initiative and the ability of silicon material companies to control prices [4]. - Until there is substantial progress on "stockpiling," polysilicon prices are expected to fluctuate within a high range [4].

Group 1: Federal Reserve and Interest Rates - The core prediction from Bank of America is that the Federal Reserve will not lower interest rates again during Powell's term, which ends in May 2026 [1][2] - The Federal Funds Rate is expected to remain in the range of 3.75% to 4.0% until the second half of 2026, when a new chair may initiate rate cuts [2] - Powell's cautious remarks after the October rate cut indicate that the threshold for a December rate cut has been raised, requiring data to justify such a move [1][2] Group 2: Economic Impact of Government Shutdown - The ongoing government shutdown has lasted for 40 days, with estimates suggesting it has reduced the U.S. GDP by 1.5% [2] - If the shutdown continues, it could negatively impact consumer spending during the upcoming holiday season, potentially leading to a contraction in Q4 economic growth [2] - Treasury Secretary has indicated that prolonged shutdown could halve the economic growth forecast for Q4 [2] Group 3: Market Reactions and Predictions - The market is currently in a "data vacuum" due to the delay in key economic data releases, such as the October CPI [1] - Alternative data suggests a cooling labor market without severe deterioration, providing the Fed with justification to pause rate cuts [1] - The probability of a 25 basis point rate cut in December is estimated at 66.5%, while the likelihood of maintaining current rates is 33.5% [3] Group 4: Silicon Market Dynamics - The photovoltaic market is experiencing weak supply and demand dynamics, with multi-crystalline silicon prices under pressure [7][8] - Current inventory levels for multi-crystalline silicon are high at 301,000 tons, indicating an oversupply situation [8] - Analysts suggest that without substantial progress on "stockpiling" initiatives, prices will remain under pressure due to weak demand and high inventory levels [9]

Report Industry Investment Ratings No specific industry investment ratings are provided in the content. Core Views of the Report - Overseas, the federal government shutdown has disrupted official economic data, leading to average market demand and rising US bond yields. The weakening yen has strengthened the US dollar, cooling global risk appetite. The first - stage cease - fire in Gaza has reduced global risk - aversion. Domestically, poor US economic data during the National Day holiday has increased expectations of a Fed rate cut, causing global stock markets to rise. The central bank's large - scale MLF renewal has ensured market liquidity, and the introduction of multiple industry growth - stabilizing plans has increased policy support, potentially boosting domestic risk appetite. The short - term macro - upward drive has strengthened, and future focus should be on Sino - US trade negotiations and domestic incremental policies [3][4]. - Different asset classes have different trends: stocks are expected to oscillate strongly at a high level in the short term; bonds will oscillate; among commodities, black metals will oscillate, non - ferrous metals will oscillate strongly, energy and chemicals will oscillate, and precious metals will oscillate strongly at a high level [3]. Summary by Related Catalogs Macro - Overseas: The federal government shutdown has disrupted economic data, resulting in average demand and rising US bond yields. The weakening yen has strengthened the US dollar, cooling global risk appetite. The Gaza cease - fire has reduced risk - aversion [3]. - Domestic: Poor US economic data during the National Day holiday has increased Fed rate - cut expectations, leading to a rise in global stock markets. The central bank's MLF renewal has ensured liquidity, and industry growth - stabilizing plans have increased policy support, potentially boosting domestic risk appetite [3][4]. Stock Index - Driven by sectors such as precious metals, industrial metals, and rare earths, the domestic stock market has risen significantly. Supported by factors like US economic data and domestic policies, the short - term macro - upward drive has strengthened. Short - term cautious buying is recommended [4]. Black Metals Steel - On Thursday, the domestic steel futures and spot markets rebounded slightly, with low trading volumes. The rise of overseas non - ferrous and precious metals during the holiday has boosted market risk appetite. However, real demand is weak, with a 127 - million - ton increase in the inventory of five major steel products during the holiday, exceeding the five - year average. After late October, demand may further weaken. Supply is expected to remain high as steel mills' profits are still acceptable, and the logic of compressing steel mill profits will continue. The steel market is likely to oscillate within a range [5]. Iron Ore - On Thursday, iron ore futures and spot prices continued to strengthen. The news of long - term contract negotiations has increased expectations of supply contraction. Ore demand remains strong as the daily average pig iron output is above 2.4 million tons. During the holiday, global iron ore shipments decreased by 1.96 million tons, while arrivals increased by 2.482 million tons, and port inventories increased by 1.69 million tons. Although the market's expectation of negative feedback in the industrial chain has increased, the short - term probability of actual negative feedback is low as the proportion of profitable steel mills is over 56%. Iron ore prices will oscillate within a range after the holiday, with negative feedback risks from late October to November [6][7]. Non - ferrous Metals and New Energy Copper - LME copper has broken through and risen due to concerns about tight global copper supply. An accident at the Grasberg mine has affected production by 270,000 tons, with a plan to resume production in mid - 2026 and fully recover in 2027. Domestic electrolytic copper production remains high, with a 11.62% year - on - year increase in September, but demand is facing challenges as previous demand - boosting factors weaken. Copper de - stocking has not met expectations, and the US economic situation needs to be monitored [8]. Aluminum - It was previously expected that SHFE aluminum would stabilize and oscillate within a 200 - 300 - point range, which has basically come true. During the holiday, the rise in copper prices has boosted aluminum prices, but on Thursday, SHFE aluminum underperformed, and the domestic - foreign price difference has decreased significantly. Domestic aluminum social inventories have accumulated during the holiday, exceeding expectations. With rigid supply and weakening demand, it is difficult for prices to rise significantly [8][9]. Tin - LME tin has soared due to the rise in copper prices and Indonesia's crackdown on illegal tin mining, but the upward space is limited. The price is supported by tight ore supply and low smelting operating rates due to maintenance at a large Yunnan smelter. However, smelters are expected to resume production in October, and ore supply will increase after November. Prices are expected to remain high in the short term but face upward pressure [9]. Carbonate Lithium - On Thursday, the main carbonate lithium 2511 contract rose 0.27%, with a settlement price of 73,700 yuan/ton. The weighted contract increased positions by 1,559 lots, with a total position of 677,900 lots. The supply and demand of carbonate lithium are both increasing, with strong seasonal demand, a slight reduction in social inventory, and a transfer of smelter inventory to downstream. The market is expected to oscillate, and the upper pressure range should be monitored [10]. Industrial Silicon - On Thursday, the main industrial silicon 2511 contract fell 0.29%, with a settlement price of 8,645 yuan/ton. The weighted contract increased positions by 8,057 lots, with a total position of 407,800 lots. The 2511 contract faces the pressure of digesting warehouse receipts at the end of November. The market is expected to oscillate, and the cash - flow cost support of large enterprises should be monitored [10]. Polysilicon - On Thursday, the main polysilicon 2511 contract had a 0% increase, with a settlement price of 50,185 yuan/ton. The weighted contract increased positions by 7,663 lots, with a total position of 234,000 lots. The number of warehouse receipts is increasing, and there will be concentrated cancellations in November. With high supply and low demand, the market is waiting for the implementation of state - reserve purchase news, and the support of spot prices should be monitored [11]. Energy and Chemicals Crude Oil - After Israel reached an agreement with Hamas on hostage release and implemented a cease - fire, crude oil prices have declined as OPEC+ increases supply and demand lacks new positive signals. The strengthening of the US dollar has also reduced the attractiveness of dollar - denominated commodities [12]. Asphalt - As crude oil prices decline again, asphalt shows signs of breaking through the lower limit. The peak - season demand is almost over, and the pressure of over - supply remains. The basis is still falling, and there is some pressure for social inventory accumulation, while factory inventory is slightly increasing. The profit has recovered recently, and the operating rate has increased significantly. The impact of OPEC+ production increase on crude oil prices and the support of crude oil prices should be monitored [12][13]. PX - The change in PX is limited. The previous changes in Xinjiang's facilities have little impact on the market. The cost support from crude oil remains, but the small positive impact of increased maintenance plans has been mostly priced in. The PXN spread has decreased to $218, and the external PX price has fallen to $804. PTA's short - term processing fee has been squeezed, and PX remains in a tight supply situation. With the decline of the polyester market, PX may oscillate weakly but has some support at the bottom [13]. PTA - The peak - season demand is lower than expected, with low terminal orders and low operating rates of looms. The rumor of production cuts by leading PTA manufacturers has been disproven, and there is a risk of inventory accumulation. There is also a possibility that the restart of maintenance facilities will be postponed. The market has some support at the previous low but faces long - term downward pressure [13]. Ethylene Glycol - The price of ethylene glycol continues to decline and oscillates at a low level. Similar to PTA, it faces challenges in downstream demand, with high short - term operating rates and new production capacity pressure. Although the current inventory is low, there is a risk of inventory accumulation, and the upward space for price rebound is limited in the medium term [13]. LLDPE - The polyethylene market price has adjusted. The LLDPE transaction price is 7,050 - 7,600 yuan/ton, with prices in the North and East regions falling. Supply is increasing, and the demand is in the peak season, but the post - holiday inventory accumulation suppresses prices. With new capacity coming on - line, the transition to the off - season, and the decline of crude oil prices, the price of PE is expected to decline [14]. Urea - The urea market is weakly declining. The supply - demand situation is under pressure. During the National Day holiday, most factories maintained stable prices, fulfilling previous orders. After the holiday, production is expected to remain above 190,000 tons per day. The agricultural demand recovery is slow due to rainfall, and industrial demand is weak. Although there is potential support from reserve demand and Indian tenders, the overall support is limited. The price may decline slightly in the short term, and the export policy after the holiday should be monitored [14][15]. Methanol - The methanol market in Shaanxi and Inner Mongolia has acceptable trading. The price in Inner Mongolia's northern line has decreased by 10 - 15 yuan/ton, and the southern line is stable. In Jiangsu, the methanol market has declined, and the basis has strengthened. After the holiday, methanol inventory has accumulated, and the high port inventory suppresses prices. There is no effective way to reduce inventory in the short term, but it is expected to oscillate weakly with support from domestic and foreign gas - restriction expectations. Opportunities for long - term long positions should be awaited [14]. PP - The market trading atmosphere is good, with the mainstream price of East China's drawn wire at 6,650 - 6,750 yuan/ton. The inventory of Sinopec and PetroChina's polyolefins has increased by 270,000 tons. With increasing supply pressure, average downstream demand, and increasing inventory pressure, combined with the weakening of crude oil prices, the price of PP is expected to decline [14]. Agricultural Products US Soybeans - The prospects of Sino - US soybean trade and the MFP program will be the main focus of the oil - and - oilseed market. After the holiday, the market may re - evaluate the possibility of China resuming US soybean imports. If a phased arrangement is reached in the coming weeks, the possibility of resuming trade will increase. The implementation of the MFP program will reduce farmers' holding costs and relieve the pressure of grain sales and storage, which is positive for CBOT soybeans [16]. Hogs - After the holiday, the demand for hogs will weaken, and the supply - demand pressure remains high. Attention should be paid to farmers' reluctance to sell at low prices, local pork purchase - and - storage dynamics, and the rhythm of passive production reduction [17]. Soybean and Rapeseed Meal - The expected supply - demand gap of domestic soybeans in the first quarter of next year will shrink, which is negative for soybean meal. In the short term, the phased replenishment of soybean meal may increase, and the cost support for near - month soybean meal will strengthen as the pressure of concentrated US soybean listing eases. The spread between near - and far - month contracts may widen. For rapeseed meal, the seasonal impact on imported rapeseed meal has significantly shrunk, and domestic rapeseed inventory is running out. Before the arrival of Australian rapeseed, the supply - demand of rapeseed meal is weak, and its market is mainly led by soybean meal [18]. Oils - Oils may oscillate strongly, with the order of strength being rapeseed oil > palm oil > soybean oil. Rapeseed oil inventory will be depleted rapidly before the arrival of Australian rapeseed, providing support. Palm oil is mainly driven by cost, with low inventory in the producing areas, stable crude oil prices, and strong related oils providing additional support. Soybean oil may experience seasonal inventory accumulation after the holiday and may perform relatively weakly [18]. Corn - The room for the price decline of new corn in the Northeast after the holiday may be limited. The increase in corn prices in Shandong provides support, as deep - processing enterprises unexpectedly raised prices during the holiday, and the demand for acquisition has increased. More acquisition entities will enter the market after the holiday. In addition, the rapid rebound of wheat prices in October will also support the corn market [18].

Group 1 - The core viewpoint highlights the increasing attention on silicon material "stockpiling," with the market considering a price of 60,000 yuan/ton as reasonable based on supply-demand matching assumptions [3] - The convertible bond price of JA Solar has been adjusted down to a lower level of 11.66 yuan, enhancing its value and leading to a price increase, with expectations of more solar companies following suit [3] - The performance of stocks related to "anti-involution" themes will be determined by policy support for prices, the feasibility of "stockpiling" plans, and the downstream power station's acceptance of prices [3] Group 2 - The Yarlung Tsangpo River downstream hydropower project is set to officially commence on July 19, 2025, with a total investment of approximately 1.2 trillion yuan, indicating high short-term investment enthusiasm for turbine projects [4] - The GIL (Gas Insulated Transmission Line) segment is highlighted as a key area of focus, with its investment scale comparable to that of turbines, especially following the successful operation of the world's first 550 kV C4 environmentally friendly GIL [4] Group 3 - Wind power is expected to benefit from "anti-involution" policies, with significant performance elasticity anticipated in the wind turbine assembly sector, driven by larger units and cost reductions in components [4] - The 136 document is reshaping the logic of new energy installations, with expectations of a recovery in wind power development and power station sales due to favorable output curves [4] Group 4 - Solid-state batteries are viewed positively for future trends, with recent weak performance attributed to prior high gains; focus is on all-solid-state battery equipment and advancements in semi-solid batteries [4] - The short-term introduction of pricing policies for large-scale electrochemical storage in Gansu is expected to improve independent storage IRR, with other provinces likely to follow suit [5] - The current high demand for domestic storage bidding is driven by consumption pressure and improved business models, while overseas storage remains robust [5]

Summary of Conference Call Records Industry Overview - The records primarily discuss the polysilicon and industrial silicon markets, focusing on price fluctuations, supply-demand dynamics, and macroeconomic policies affecting these industries [1][5][24]. Key Points and Arguments Polysilicon Market Dynamics - In the first half of 2024, polysilicon prices fluctuated significantly due to production cuts by industry leaders and inventory sales, dropping from 9,500 CNY/ton to 7,000 CNY/ton, then recovering by 1,000 CNY due to further production cuts [1]. - The cash cost of polysilicon initially was around 36,000 CNY, with recent price fluctuations causing it to rise to over 45,000 CNY, while transaction volumes remained low [6][7]. - The current inventory of polysilicon is approximately 400,000 tons, equivalent to four months of industry consumption, with a monthly production close to 100,000 tons [9]. Industrial Silicon Market Trends - In the first quarter of 2025, industrial silicon prices initially hovered around 10,000 CNY/ton but fell to about 7,000 CNY due to expectations of abundant water supply and insufficient polysilicon production [2]. - The total inventory of industrial silicon, including hidden stocks, reached over 1.5 million tons, sufficient for more than five months of consumption [9]. Supply and Demand Imbalance - The polysilicon market is currently oversupplied, with total production capacity at 3.65 million tons and monthly production around 100,000 tons, while total demand is only 120,000 to 130,000 tons [3][16]. - The industry is experiencing a significant inventory buildup, particularly in July and August, where production is expected to increase to 110,000 tons per month [16]. Macroeconomic Policies - Current macroeconomic policies aim to stabilize the market by preventing sales below production costs and promoting healthy industry development through joint pricing and acquisition of outdated capacities [5][24]. - The policies are designed to enhance overall competitiveness and ensure that product prices do not fall below costs, as discussed in various industry meetings [5]. Cost and Pricing Variations - There are significant differences in cash costs among polysilicon producers, affecting the overall market cost structure. For instance, the reduction efficiency of different production methods can lead to cost differences of 4,000 to 5,000 CNY per ton [20]. - The production cost for large furnace industrial silicon has decreased due to improvements in labor, waste heat power generation, and efficiency, impacting smaller furnace operations negatively [19]. Future Outlook - The market sentiment remains cautious, with expectations of price adjustments needed for downstream acceptance of higher polysilicon prices. The downstream industry is currently reluctant to accept prices above 40,000 CNY [17][24]. - The potential for production cuts exists, but the feasibility is challenged by varying production costs among companies, making unified agreements difficult [29][23]. Technological Developments - Advances in battery technologies, such as perovskite and n-type batteries, are influencing polysilicon demand, with n-type batteries requiring slightly less polysilicon compared to p-type [18]. Additional Important Insights - The acceptance of standard delivery products in the downstream market is low due to quality concerns and cost implications, leading to a preference for mixed package materials [8]. - The overall market is characterized by a significant amount of hidden inventory and a cautious approach to purchasing, with many companies prioritizing inventory reduction over new purchases [26][27]. This summary encapsulates the critical insights from the conference call records, highlighting the current state and future outlook of the polysilicon and industrial silicon markets.

Core Viewpoint - The recent surge in polysilicon futures is attributed to the acceleration of the "anti-involution" policy, making it the hottest commodity in the futures market [1] Group 1: Market Performance - On July 10, polysilicon futures rose by 5.5%, surpassing the 40,000 yuan mark, closing at 41,345 yuan/ton, reaching a near three-month high with a trading volume of 1.015 million lots, setting a historical record [2][7] - Since July, polysilicon futures have seen a cumulative increase of over 23% [7] - The trading volume for all polysilicon contracts reached 1.557 million lots, with an open interest of 326,000 lots, indicating a strong bullish sentiment in the market [8] Group 2: Supply and Demand Dynamics - The polysilicon market has experienced significant volatility this year due to supply-demand mismatches and policy adjustments [4] - Earlier in the year, polysilicon prices stabilized due to increased demand for N-type technology, but a subsequent drop in demand led to prices falling to around 31,000 yuan, even below the industry cost line [5] - The "anti-involution" policy has catalyzed a sudden price surge in polysilicon futures, with notable price increases on July 2 and 8 [6] Group 3: Price Adjustments and Market Sentiment - The SMM polysilicon price index on July 10 was 44.8 yuan/kg, with N-type polysilicon prices ranging from 43 to 49 yuan/kg, reflecting a significant recovery in spot prices [9] - Some companies have raised their quotes to 49 yuan/kg, driven by the need to align prices with comprehensive cost calculations, which have increased due to depreciation costs [10] - The recent price hikes are primarily due to polysilicon companies operating at a loss for over a year, leading to a need to clear inventory and comply with pricing regulations [10] Group 4: Regulatory Measures - In response to the rising volatility in polysilicon futures, the Guangxi Futures Exchange announced a margin adjustment policy on July 10 to cool down the overheated market and mitigate risks [3][14] - The new margin requirements for speculative trading have been set at 11%, while hedging transactions require a margin of 10% [13] Group 5: Industry Outlook - Despite the rapid increase in polysilicon prices, other key commodities like lithium carbonate and industrial silicon have only seen slight increases, indicating potential oversupply issues in the photovoltaic industry [11] - The high concentration of the industry and unexpected joint production cuts have led to a quicker turnaround in supply-demand dynamics, resulting in greater price volatility for polysilicon [11]
