Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core Viewpoint - Polysilicon is currently in an emotion-driven market dominated by policy expectations. The main polysilicon contract price has broken through the previous resistance level of 55,000 yuan/ton. Short-term sentiment may continue to ferment with increased volatility. Investors should control their positions and wait for new policy details [9]. Summary by Related Content Price Movement - On September 5th, the polysilicon futures broke through the upper limit of the 55,000 yuan/ton range. The core logic revolves around "anti-involution", and the market's expectation of capacity clearance has fermented again. The main contract closed above 56,700 yuan/ton [2]. - In terms of spot prices, the price of polysilicon N-type re-feeding material rose from 35,000 yuan/ton to 47,000 yuan/ton in July, and then to 49,000 yuan/ton at the end of August. As of early September, it broke through 50,000 yuan/ton, ranging from 49,200 - 54,000 yuan/ton [2]. - From early July to early September, the price of polysilicon re-feeding material increased from 34,000 yuan/ton to 51,500 yuan/ton (+51%), and the price of N-type 210mm silicon wafers increased from 1.22 yuan/piece to 1.6 yuan/piece (+31%) [4]. Production and Supply - In July, the monthly polysilicon output exceeded the 90,000 - 100,000 tons range of the first half of the year. In August, the output reached 131,000 tons, a 23% month-on-month increase. The output in September is expected to be in the range of 125,000 - 130,000 tons [6]. - Although there are expectations of production restrictions in the market, the actual monthly production reduction by enterprises remains to be seen due to annual production plans and rising prices. Capacity clearance news has a greater impact on market sentiment as it can directly reverse the current supply - demand imbalance [6]. Policy Factor - On August 1st, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology launched a special energy - saving inspection of polysilicon, requiring results to be reported by September 30th. This may provide guidance on energy consumption standards for subsequent capacity clearance, and the market is currently in a "policy vacuum period" [9].
