Core Viewpoint - The Guangzhou Futures Exchange (GFEX) has adjusted the trading rules for polysilicon futures contracts, limiting the daily opening position for non-futures company members or clients to 200 lots starting December 25, 2025, due to significant price fluctuations in the polysilicon futures market [1][2]. Market Dynamics - Since November 19, the price of the December polysilicon contract surged from approximately 53,130 yuan/ton to a peak of 62,200 yuan/ton on December 3, before settling at 59,100 yuan/ton on the delivery date of December 12, despite a significant divergence from the lower spot prices [3][15]. - The average spot price for N-type polysilicon on December 12 was 50,000 yuan/ton, indicating an 18% price gap between the delivery price and the spot price, which is considered unusually large [4][16]. Supply and Demand Analysis - The domestic polysilicon industry has an annual nominal production capacity exceeding 3.2 million tons, while domestic demand is only 1.3 million tons, leading to a supply-demand imbalance that has caused polysilicon prices to drop nearly 70% since the beginning of 2023 [5][17]. - Despite the overall decline, polysilicon futures prices began to rise from 31,000 yuan/ton in late June to around 55,000 yuan/ton, driven by various market speculations regarding production limits and industry consolidation [5][17]. Delivery Specifications - The GFEX has established a dual delivery system for polysilicon futures, allowing both benchmark and alternative delivery products, with 67% of industry products meeting the benchmark quality standards [6][19]. - Currently, there are 11 active polysilicon producers in the market, with GFEX having approved 10 registered brands, covering over 70% of the industry's production capacity [8][20]. Recent Market Trends - From December 8 to December 17, the main polysilicon contract price increased from 52,780 yuan/ton to 61,985 yuan/ton, reflecting a rise of over 17% in just a few days [8][20]. - Analysts suggest that the establishment of polysilicon platform companies and seasonal supply constraints are contributing to improved supply-demand dynamics, which may positively influence prices [9][21]. Regulatory Measures - To mitigate price volatility, GFEX implemented position limits and increased the number of delivery brands in early December [9][11]. - As of December 19, the number of polysilicon warehouse receipts had dropped to 3,640 lots (10,920 tons), indicating a low supply level that has led to futures prices trading at a premium over spot prices [9][21]. Future Outlook - The market is advised to monitor the potential decline in polysilicon demand, particularly as the dry season approaches and production capacity in the southwestern region decreases [12][25]. - Overall, while the demand for polysilicon is expected to marginally decline, the anticipated effects of regulatory policies may still support a relatively strong price trend in the short term [12][25].

Report Information - Report Date: July 02, 2025 [2] - Research Team: Energy and Chemical Research Team [3] - Industry: Polysilicon [4] 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No investment rating information is provided in the report. 2. Report's Core View - The polysilicon market is currently in a state of price range - bound oscillation. The market lacks a significant change in fundamentals, with supply - side production cuts difficult to implement, and the pressure of decreased installations gradually spreading upstream in the industry chain. The price of the polysilicon futures contract has rebounded with reduced positions due to the resonance of a sharp rebound in new - energy commodities, and after the basis repair, it has entered a phase of oscillatory adjustment [4]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Market Performance and Outlook - **Market Performance**: The price of the polysilicon main contract oscillated within a range. The closing price of the PS2508 contract was 32,700 yuan/ton, a decline of 2.39%. The trading volume was 261,490 lots, and the open interest was 61,196 lots, with a net decrease of 5,137 lots [4]. - **Outlook**: The average transaction price of N - type polysilicon re - feedstock was 34,400 yuan, and that of N - type dense material was 31,900 yuan, showing stable weekly prices. The fundamentals of polysilicon remained unchanged, with supply - side production cuts hard to implement. The pressure of decreased installations was spreading upstream, and there was obvious inventory accumulation in battery cells and components. The previous sharp price decline reflected overly pessimistic expectations, and recently, due to the resonance of a sharp rebound in new - energy commodities, the futures price rebounded with reduced positions (a reduction of 18,416 lots from the bottom). After the basis repair, the price entered an oscillatory adjustment phase [4]. 3.2 Market News - As of July 01, 2025, the number of polysilicon warehouse receipts was 2,600 lots, unchanged from the previous trading day [5]. - In May 2025, domestic photovoltaic installations were approximately 92GW, a year - on - year increase of 383.2% and a month - on - month increase of over 100%, reaching a record high for the same period. From January to May, the newly - added domestic photovoltaic installations were 197.85GW, a year - on - year increase of 150% [5]. - As of the end of May 2025, the cumulative national power generation installed capacity was 3.61 billion kilowatts, a year - on - year increase of 18.8%. Among them, the installed capacity of solar power generation was 1.08 billion kilowatts, a year - on - year increase of 56.9%. From January to May, the cumulative average utilization hours of national power generation equipment were 1,249 hours, a decrease of 132 hours compared to the same period last year.
