1. Report Industry Investment Rating There is no information provided regarding the report industry investment rating in the given content. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Macroeconomic factors: The China-US trade negotiation has been postponed. China's anti-involution and stable growth policies have significantly boosted the sentiment in the industrial product market. In July, China's manufacturing PMI decreased seasonally, and the decline in industrial enterprise profits narrowed. The Ministry of Finance emphasized increasing fiscal counter-cyclical adjustment, supporting traditional industry transformation and the growth of emerging industries, promoting consumption, and expanding domestic demand [3]. - Supply side: The operating rate in Xinjiang dropped below 50%, and the output growth in Sichuan and Yunnan during the wet season was limited. The supply side showed a passive contraction, with social inventory declining from a high level and warehouse receipt inventory decreasing due to the monthly decline in domestic production [3][56]. - Demand side: The spot price of polysilicon rebounded significantly, but a large increase in production volume was expected. Silicon wafers could not cover the high costs, but battery orders were good due to export tax rebates, driving consumption. However, battery prices had limited upward space due to the drag of centralized demand. Component markets had high quotes but low transactions because of the weak demand for domestic distributed projects. In traditional industries, silicone monomer enterprises were reluctant to lower prices, but the cost support in the future would weaken. The aluminum alloy production remained stable due to continuous orders from the automotive sector. Overall, industrial silicon was expected to maintain a pattern of weak supply and demand in August [3][57]. - Market outlook: The futures price of industrial silicon was expected to enter a pattern of volatile rebound [3][57]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 2025 July Industrial Silicon Market Review - **Futures price**: In July 2025, the industrial silicon futures showed a trend of rising first and then falling. The main 2509 contract fluctuated between 7705 - 10060 yuan/ton. The price center rebounded compared to the previous month, and the volatility increased.

Industrial silicon was expected to maintain a pattern of weak supply and demand, and the futures price was expected to enter a pattern of volatile rebound [56][57].

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core View of the Report The industrial silicon price has declined, while the polysilicon price has remained high and stable. The supply of industrial silicon is expected to increase significantly in August due to the increase in furnace openings by silicon enterprises. The polysilicon production is also expected to rise, but the demand for silicon wafers may decline. The organic silicon industry has a certain price increase and strong price - holding intention, while the aluminum - silicon alloy industry has weak demand and declining prices. [3] Summary by Directory 1. Industrial Silicon - **Cost and Profit**: In the southwest production area, the power cost has decreased during the wet season, while the prices of silicon coal, petroleum coke, and electrodes have rebounded. Overall, the cost side has weak support for the silicon price. The average profit of industrial silicon 553 and 421 in June was - 2,361 yuan/ton and - 2,049 yuan/ton respectively, showing a month - on - month recovery [3][37]. - **Supply**: The number of furnace openings of silicon enterprises has increased. In Xinjiang, the previously reduced - production enterprises have recovered; in Yunnan and Sichuan, the operation has increased steadily. It is expected that more silicon enterprises will increase furnace openings in August, with a significant overall increase in supply [3]. - **Demand**: The incremental demand mainly comes from the polysilicon sector. In July, the output of polysilicon is expected to increase to around 110,000 tons, and there will still be some growth in August. The organic silicon industry has a weak purchase of industrial silicon due to an accident in an individual enterprise, and the demand for silicon - aluminum alloy is weak [3]. - **Inventory**: The futures price has remained high, and the warehouse receipts have stopped decreasing and started to increase. As the price rises, part of the factory inventory has transferred to the intermediate link and futures - cash traders, and the social inventory has decreased [3]. - **Market Outlook**: Recently, with the weakening of macro - sentiment and the increase in enterprise operation, the silicon price support has weakened, and it is expected to maintain a weak consolidation in the short term, with the operating range referring to 8,000 - 10,000 yuan/ton [3]. 2. Polysilicon - **Supply**: In July, some enterprises increased production, mainly in the southwest and Qinghai regions, and some enterprises carried out maintenance. After offsetting the increase and decrease, the monthly output is expected to increase to about 110,000 tons. In August, the wet season and high prices will further stimulate the start - up of polysilicon bases, and the monthly output is expected to increase to about 130,000 tons [3]. - **Demand**: The price of downstream silicon wafers has continued to rise, but the silicon wafer quotation cannot cover the full cost. It is expected that the production schedule in July will drop to about 52GW. The battery orders are short - term positive, and the component end has shown a situation of rising first and then falling [3]. - **Inventory**: As of July 31, the total polysilicon inventory was 229,000 tons, and the silicon wafer inventory was 18.15GW. As of August 1, the total polysilicon futures warehouse receipts were 3,200 lots [3]. - **Market Outlook**: Last week, with the weakening of macro - sentiment, the polysilicon price has declined after reaching a high. Fundamentally, the supply side of silicon materials has a strong expectation of incremental supply, and the demand side has no major changes. It is expected that the price will maintain a high - level consolidation in the short term, with the operating range referring to 40,000 - 55,000 yuan/ton [3]. 3. Organic Silicon - **Supply**: In July, the DMC start - up rate was 67.73%, a month - on - month decrease of 3.22 percentage points, and the output was 199,800 tons, showing a month - on - month decline [92]. - **Price**: The organic silicon price has rebounded.
