Report Industry Investment Rating - Industrial silicon: Oscillating [6] - Polysilicon: Oscillating [7] - Lithium carbonate: Oscillating on the strong side [10] Core Viewpoints - The risk of supply disruptions in the new energy metals market persists, leading to high - level and wide - range oscillations. Although short - term negative impacts on supply - demand expectations have driven a sharp decline in lithium carbonate prices, supply - demand is likely to enter a phase of relative tightness, which supports lithium prices. In the medium - to - short - term, the expected contraction of supply and rising costs support new energy metal prices. For lithium, supply disruptions may continue to push up prices in the medium - to - short - term. Industrial silicon and polysilicon face high production capacity and output, with weakening supply - demand and limited upward price momentum, showing an oscillating trend. In the long - term, if there is no substantial contraction in supply or significant improvement in demand, silicon prices may decline, and high growth in lithium carbonate supply will limit the upside of lithium prices [1]. Summary by Directory 1. Industrial Silicon - **Market Situation**: As of August 21, the spot price of industrial silicon fluctuated. The latest domestic inventory decreased by 0.02% month - on - month. In July, the monthly output increased by 3.2% month - on - month and decreased by 30.6% year - on - year. The export volume in July increased by 8.3% month - on - month and 36.7% year - on - year. In June, domestic photovoltaic new installations decreased by 38.45% year - on - year [6]. - **Main Logic**: Supply is on the rise, with silicon plants in the southwest resuming production faster due to the wet - season advantage and price rebound, and some large enterprises in Xinjiang resuming production after maintenance. Demand has improved slightly, with polysilicon enterprises driving up demand, the organic silicon industry maintaining rigid procurement, and the aluminum alloy sector having stable demand. Inventory is expected to accumulate further, and market pressure needs attention [6]. - **Outlook**: In the short - term, silicon prices will continue to oscillate due to macro sentiment and coal prices. If large enterprises resume production intensively, prices may be further pressured [7]. 2. Polysilicon - **Market Situation**: As of a certain period, the成交 price of N - type re - feedstock polysilicon was in the range of 45,000 - 52,000 yuan/ton, with an average price of 47,900 yuan/ton, up 1.05% week - on - week. The number of warehouse receipts increased. In July, exports decreased by 3.92% month - on - month and 63.14% year - on - year, while imports increased by 5.11% month - on - month. From January to June 2025, domestic photovoltaic new installations increased by 107% year - on - year [7]. - **Main Logic**: Macroscopically, anti - cut - throat competition sentiment is fluctuating, and coal prices have declined, resulting in wide - range oscillations in polysilicon prices. In terms of supply, production capacity in the southwest has increased with the wet season, and production is expected to continue rising in August. In terms of demand, photovoltaic installations in the first five months had high growth, but it has weakened since June, and future demand may continue to decline. Overall, supply - demand is under pressure, and price fluctuations have increased [8]. - **Outlook**: Anti - cut - throat competition policies have significantly boosted prices. Future price trends depend on policy implementation, and if policy expectations fade, prices may reverse [9]. 3. Lithium Carbonate - **Market Situation**: On August 21, the closing price of the lithium carbonate main contract increased by 2.2% to 82,760 yuan, and the total open interest decreased. The spot prices of battery - grade and industrial - grade lithium carbonate decreased by 500 yuan/ton, and the average price of lithium spodumene concentrate was 950 US dollars/ton, equivalent to 79,800 yuan/ton of lithium carbonate. The number of warehouse receipts increased by 275 tons [9][10]. - **Main Logic**: The initial impact of the mine shutdown has subsided. The current trading focuses on actual supply - demand shortages and potential mine shutdowns. Fundamentally, a supply gap is emerging, with weekly production declining, especially for mica - based production. Imports declined significantly in July but are expected to recover in the fourth quarter. Demand is relatively stable in August and is expected to enter the peak season in September. Social inventory has decreased slightly, and warehouse receipts are gradually recovering. However, high prices may stimulate supply release. Market sentiment is volatile, and price extremes may occur [10]. - **Outlook**: The supply - demand gap caused by mine shutdowns is expected to keep prices oscillating on the strong side [10].

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content Core Viewpoints - In July, the global economic data still showed resilience, but there were still pressures in domestic monthly economic data. The A-share market was strong on August 18, with the Shanghai Composite Index reaching a near 10-year high, and the Shenzhen Component Index and ChiNext Index breaking through last year's highs. The bond market tumbled, and commodities were divided. Attention should be paid to the impact of "reciprocal tariffs" and the progress of "anti-involution" [1]. - The current tariffs are still in a "stagnant" stage, which will bring certain drag to commodities greatly affected by external demand. After the July interest rate meeting, Powell did not give guidance on a September rate cut, emphasizing the uncertainty of tariffs and inflation [2]. - For commodities, the black and new energy metal sectors are most sensitive to the domestic supply side, the energy and non-ferrous sectors benefit significantly from overseas inflation expectations, and the "anti-involution" space of some chemical products is also worthy of attention. The short - term fluctuation space of agricultural products is relatively limited [3]. - For strategies, it is recommended to allocate more industrial products on dips in commodities and stock index futures [4]. Summary by Directory Market Analysis - In July, China's official manufacturing PMI dropped to 49.3, non - manufacturing remained in expansion, exports increased by 7.2% year - on - year in US dollars, monetary supply exceeded expectations, but financing and loan data were still weak, and investment data had obvious pressure. In the US, the July non - farm payrolls data was below expectations, but the service PMI improved significantly, and the "Great Beauty" bill might support subsequent consumption. On August 18, the A - share market was strong, with the total market turnover exceeding 2.8 trillion yuan, the third - highest in history. Market hotspots focused on AI hardware stocks, brokers, and fintech, while the bond market tumbled and commodities were divided [1]. Tariff Impact - On July 31, the White House re - set "reciprocal tariff" rates. From August 12, 2025, the implementation of a 24% tariff was suspended for 90 days until November 10. On August 15, the Trump administration expanded the scope of a 50% tariff on steel and aluminum imports and might announce a semiconductor tariff of up to 300% within two weeks. Current tariffs are in a "stagnant" stage, dragging down some commodities [2]. Commodity Analysis - The black sector is still dragged down by downstream demand expectations, and the non - ferrous sector's supply constraints have not been alleviated. The medium - term supply of the energy sector is considered to be relatively loose, with OPEC+ accelerating production and increasing production by 548,000 barrels per day in August. The "anti - involution" space of some chemical products is worthy of attention, and the short - term fluctuation of agricultural products is relatively limited. Since the "anti - involution" market started in July, major varieties have retreated to varying degrees [3]. Strategy - For commodities and stock index futures, it is recommended to allocate more industrial products on dips [4]. To - do News - On August 18, the market was strong, with the Shanghai Composite Index reaching a near 10 - year high, over 4000 stocks rising, and the trading volume reaching 2.81 trillion yuan. Trump will meet with Zelensky and European leaders on the 18th. The European Council President emphasized the importance of trans - Atlantic unity, and the EU will introduce the 19th round of sanctions against Russia in early September [5].

Report Industry Investment Ratings - Industrial Silicon: Expected to fluctuate within a positive or negative one - standard - deviation range in the future 2 - 12 weeks, rated as "oscillating" [7][52] - Polysilicon: Subject to price fluctuations. If the anti - involution policy expectation fades, there is a risk of reverse price movement. The current assessment is based on the impact of policy implementation, and no specific rating is clearly given, but the price is in a state of wide - range fluctuation [10][11][12] - Lithium Carbonate: Expected to have a 1 - 2 standard - deviation increase in the future 2 - 12 weeks, rated as "oscillating and bullish" [13][52] Core Viewpoints of the Report - The trading logic of new energy metals is that the Central Financial Work Conference mentioned the orderly elimination of backward production capacity, strengthening investors' expectations of supply - side contraction for silicon. There are also disruptions in domestic lithium supply, such as the shutdown of a large lithium mine in Jiangxi and a production accident in a lithium carbonate production line in Chile, which boost lithium prices, making lithium lead the rise among new energy metals. In the short and medium term, the expectations of supply - side contraction and cost increase support new energy metal prices, and lithium supply disruptions may push up lithium prices in the short term. However, there is an extreme risk of rising lithium prices. For silicon, the current supply and demand are weak, and the upward momentum of silicon prices is slowing down. In the long term, if there is no substantial supply - side contraction or obvious improvement in demand, silicon prices may decline, and the high growth of lithium carbonate supply will limit the upside of lithium prices [2] Summary by Related Catalogs I. Market Views 1. Industrial Silicon - **Viewpoint**: Market sentiment fluctuates, and silicon prices continue to be volatile. The medium - term outlook is "oscillating" [7] - **Information Analysis**: As of August 12, the spot prices of industrial silicon fluctuated. The domestic inventory decreased by 0.9% month - on - month, with factory inventory down 1.5% month - on - month. In July 2025, the monthly output increased by 3.2% month - on - month and decreased by 30.6% year - on - year. From January to July, the cumulative production decreased by 20.0% year - on - year. In June, exports increased by 22.8% month - on - month and 11.6% year - on - year. From January to June 2025, cumulative exports decreased by 6.6% year - on - year. In June, domestic new photovoltaic installations decreased by 38.45% year - on - year, and from January to June, cumulative installations increased by 107.07% year - on - year. The Guangzhou Futures Exchange adjusted the trading limits for some industrial silicon contracts [7] - **Main Logic**: The supply of industrial silicon continues to recover. In August, the supply pressure may increase. Demand shows some improvement, but the increase in demand from the aluminum alloy sector is limited. Inventory is expected to accumulate further, and there is a risk of market pressure [7] - **Outlook**: In the short term, silicon prices will continue to oscillate under the influence of macro - sentiment and coal prices. The resumption of production by large factories will be the key factor. If there is concentrated resumption of production, prices may be further suppressed [8] 2. Polysilicon - **Viewpoint**: Market sentiment is volatile, and polysilicon prices fluctuate widely. The medium - term outlook is not clearly rated but is in a state of wide - range fluctuation [8][10] - **Information Analysis**: The average transaction price of N - type polysilicon increased by 0.21% week - on - week. The number of polysilicon warehouse receipts increased. In June, exports increased by 5.96% month - on - month and decreased by 39.67% year - on - year. From January to June 2025, cumulative exports decreased by 7.23% year - on - year. Imports in June increased by 40.3% month - on - month, and from January to June 2025, cumulative imports decreased by 47.59% year - on - year. From January to June 2025, domestic new photovoltaic installations increased by 107% year - on - year [8] - **Main Logic**: Macro - economically, the anti - involution sentiment is volatile, and rising coal prices boost polysilicon prices. In terms of supply, production is expected to continue to increase in August. In the long term, it is necessary to pay attention to whether anti - involution policies will restrict supply. On the demand side, the high growth of photovoltaic installations in the first five months has overdrafted the demand for the second half of the year, and there is a risk of weakening demand [11] - **Outlook**: The anti - involution policy has a significant impact on polysilicon prices. It is necessary to pay attention to the implementation of the policy. If the policy expectations fade, prices may fluctuate in the opposite direction [12] 3. Lithium Carbonate - **Viewpoint**: Market sentiment has subsided, and lithium prices retreated in the late trading session. The medium - term outlook is "oscillating and bullish" [12][13] - **Information Analysis**: On August 12, the closing price of the lithium carbonate main contract increased by 1.88% compared to the previous day, opening high and closing low. The total position increased by 52,662 lots. The spot prices of battery - grade and industrial - grade lithium carbonate increased, and the average price of lithium spodumene concentrate was equivalent to 79,200 yuan/ton of lithium carbonate. The warehouse receipts increased by 1,440 tons [12] - **Main Logic**: The reduction of production at Ningde Times' Jiaxiawo Mine will be the focus of market games. Fundamentally, there is not much change. Weekly production has rebounded, and the formal shutdown of the Jiaxiawo Mine will reduce weekly ore supply by more than 2,000 tons of LCE. Current demand is not significantly exceeding expectations, and social inventory is slightly increasing. In the future, there will be a large supply - demand gap in the domestic market, but high prices may stimulate supply release. Currently, call options can be held, and attention should be paid to the opportunity of positive spreads between months [13] - **Outlook**: The supply - demand gap caused by the shutdown is expected to keep prices oscillating and bullish [13] II.
