Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - At the end of the year, the market's policy expectations for supply - side reform are rising, and the change in the number of delivery warrants has attracted high attention, leading to increased volatility in polysilicon prices. The polysilicon price at the end of the year still shows a wide - range oscillation pattern [2][4] Group 3: Summary by Relevant Catalogs Latest Dynamics and Reasons - On December 1st, the spot price of polysilicon rebounded rapidly, with the main contract rising by over - 5% at the maximum, reaching 50,200 yuan/ton, breaking through the previous high and reaching a new stage high. The recent strength of polysilicon prices is mainly driven by two factors: the rising expectation of clear policy signals from supply - side reform at the end of the year, and after the concentrated cancellation of warrants in November, the change in delivery warrants has attracted market attention. The number of warrants on the GZEX polysilicon platform has rapidly dropped to 1,330 lots, and the market is worried that the short - term warrant registration progress is slow, which drives the significant increase of near - month contracts [2] Fundamental Situation - **Supply**: In the context of the pressure on photovoltaic terminal installation, the overall situation of polysilicon remains weak, with a "double - weak" supply - demand pattern. In November, due to the dry season in the southwest region, the increase in hydropower costs led to continuous production cuts of local polysilicon capacity. SMM data shows that the polysilicon output in November was 115,000 tons, a month - on - month decrease of 14.5% and a year - on - year decrease of 2.7%. From January to November, the cumulative production of polysilicon was 1.19 million tons, a year - on - year decrease of 28.1%. With the continuation of production cuts in the dry season, the polysilicon supply in December is expected to be in the range of 100,000 - 110,000 tons, and the phased supply pressure has been alleviated [3] - **Demand**: Affected by the market - oriented reform of new - energy electricity price grid - connection, the profitability of photovoltaic installation is under pressure. Coupled with the off - season of downstream production at the end of the year, the demand has further weakened. The production schedules of battery chips and modules have been continuously declining since October, and the production of silicon wafers has also decreased significantly. SMM data shows that the silicon wafer output in November was 8.4 GW, a month - on - month increase of 10.4% and a year - on - year decrease of 26.4%. From January to November, the cumulative production of silicon wafers was 608.2 GW, a month - on - month decrease of 0.4%. The weakness of terminal installation has gradually spread to the mid - stream, and the prices of battery chips and silicon wafers have slightly fluctuated recently. There may be a further decline in short - term demand [3] - **Inventory**: The polysilicon industry inventory remains at a high level. However, due to the recent concentrated cancellation of warrants, along with higher requirements for delivery products, supply contraction in the dry season, and industry sales control, the market is somewhat worried about the speed of warrant re - registration. The progress of warrant registration needs to be followed up [3] Summary and Strategy - Polysilicon manufacturers can conduct hedging operations on rallies; institutional investors can consider selling out - of - the - money put options and continue to hold them. In addition, pay attention to the subsequent progress of warrant registration. After the warrants return, consider gradually deploying the near - far month reverse spread strategy [4]
