Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content found Group 2: Report's Core View - On July 1, polysilicon fluctuated with a slight upward trend. The main contract 2508 closed at 32,700 yuan/ton, with an intraday decline of 2.39%. The position decreased by 5,137 lots to 61,196 lots. The price of SMM polysilicon N-type silicon material dropped to 34,500 yuan/ton, and the price of the lowest deliverable N-type silicon material also dropped to 34,500 yuan/ton. The premium of the spot over the main contract widened to 1,800 yuan/ton. Industrial silicon fluctuated with a downward trend. The main contract 2509 closed at 7,765 yuan/ton, with an intraday decline of 4.31%. The position increased by 5,325 lots to 361,000 lots. The reference price of Baichuan industrial silicon spot remained stable at 8,738 yuan/ton compared to the previous trading day. The price of the lowest deliverable 553 changed from a discount to a premium of 165 yuan/ton over the futures. The news of production cuts by large industrial silicon manufacturers in Xinjiang has been gradually digested by the market. After a rebound, both silicon products started to correct synchronously. Trump's tax policy targeting the new energy sector has affected the market. Due to the previous oversold situation of polysilicon, its recent futures performance has been slightly stronger than that of industrial silicon. In reality, the pace of industrial silicon warehouse receipts flowing back to the market has slowed down, and high-quality polysilicon warehouse receipts still need a significant price decline to relieve pressure. With high inventory levels, silicon prices are more likely to fall than to rise. Continuous monitoring of the price ratio between the two silicon products and news related to policies and industry capacity regulation is recommended [2] Group 3: Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1.
