Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints - The fundamentals of industrial silicon and polysilicon are currently average. For industrial silicon, the inventory increased in October, but the supply - demand situation may improve after the southwest region starts to cut production at the end of October. For polysilicon, the overall inventory pressure is high, the production reduction in October was less than expected, and the production in November may decrease, but the downstream production schedule may also weaken [3][7]. - The industrial silicon and polysilicon futures markets are mainly affected by overall commodity sentiment, policy - side news, and anti - involution policies. The market fluctuates greatly, and participants need to pay attention to risk management [3][7]. - The industrial silicon valuation is currently low. If there are relevant capacity - exit policies, the industrial silicon futures market may have room to rise. For polysilicon, it is suitable to layout long positions at low prices in the medium - to - long - term [3][7]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Industrial Silicon Market Analysis - On October 23, 2025, the industrial silicon futures price showed a strong and volatile trend. The main contract 2511 opened at 8,505 yuan/ton and closed at 8,705 yuan/ton, up 205 yuan/ton (2.41%) from the previous settlement price. The position of the main contract 2511 was 76,195 lots, and the number of warehouse receipts was 48,371 lots, a decrease of 367 lots from the previous day [1]. - The spot price of industrial silicon remained stable. The price of East China oxygen - containing 553 silicon was 9,300 - 9,400 yuan/ton, 421 silicon was 9,500 - 9,800 yuan/ton, Xinjiang oxygen - containing 553 silicon was 8,600 - 8,800 yuan/ton, and 99 silicon was 8,600 - 8,800 yuan/ton. The silicon prices in Kunming, Huangpu Port, the Northwest, Tianjin, Xinjiang, Sichuan, and Shanghai remained slightly stable, and the price of 97 silicon also remained slightly stable [1]. - As of October 23, the total social inventory of industrial silicon in major regions was 559,000 tons, a decrease of 3,000 tons from last week. Among them, the social general warehouse inventory was 123,000 tons, an increase of 3,000 tons from last week, and the social delivery warehouse inventory was 436,000 tons, a decrease of 6,000 tons from last week. Recently, some goods in Xinjiang warehouses have been transferred to Tianjin, resulting in significant regional inventory changes [1].

The mainstream transaction was concentrated at 11,000 - 11,100 yuan/ton, and the average market price decreased week - on - week. However, the quoted prices of Shandong monomer enterprises and other domestic monomer enterprises remained stable compared to last week [2]. Strategy - The current fundamentals are average. The recent increase in the start - up rate in the Northwest and the fact that the southwest region has not reached the dry season have led to a large increase in inventory in October. The intraday rebound was mainly driven by the sharp rise of commodities such as coking coal. Starting from the end of October, the southwest region will start to cut production, and the supply - demand pattern may improve. The industrial silicon futures market is mainly affected by overall commodity sentiment and policy - side news [3]. - Short - term: Operate within a range. For contracts during the dry season, consider going long on dips [3]. Polysilicon Market Analysis - On October 23, 2025, the main polysilicon futures contract 2511 showed a volatile trend, opening at 50,225 yuan/ton and closing at 50,760 yuan/ton, a change of 1.05% from the previous trading day.
