On the demand side, the production reduction and load - shedding of polysilicon have led to a decline in monthly output to around 110,000 tons. The operating rate of silicone enterprises has rebounded, and there is no sustainability in centralized and large - scale production reduction. However, the supply - demand pattern remains loose. The current industrial inventory has reached 460,000 tons, a year - on - year increase of 30.40%; the futures inventory is 45,100 tons, significantly lower than the same period last year. After the centralized cancellation of warehouse receipts, the futures price has weakened and is at a discount, resulting in insufficient motivation for inventory return. The fundamentals lack improvement expectations, the spot price remains weak and stable, the basis repair rebound has ended, and the resistance to the rebound is decreasing marginally. It is expected to maintain a weak and volatile pattern [4]. 3.4 Market News - On December 22, the number of industrial silicon warehouse receipts on the Guangzhou Futures Exchange was 9,019 lots, unchanged from the previous trading day. - In the third week of December, the industrial silicon inventory was 462,100 tons, a week - on - week decrease of 0.48% and a year - on - year increase of 28.25%. - The silicone DMC market remained stable, with the current DMC quotation at 13,500 - 14,000 yuan/ton. Although the terminal demand has not shown a substantial recovery, the mentality of middle and downstream enterprises has improved marginally, and moderate restocking in the market has provided support. It is expected that the silicone market will rise steadily in the short term. - The polysilicon spot price has generally stabilized, and enterprises are determined to support prices, with individual enterprises raising their quotations. The downstream's willingness to purchase polysilicon is low, and it is difficult to see an increase in demand in the short term. The polysilicon inventory continues to increase slowly, and the inventory pressure has further suppressed the trading activity in the现货 market. It is expected that the polysilicon spot trading price will probably remain stable in the short term [5].

The weekly output in the third week of December was 82,000 tons. If the polysilicon storage platform significantly reduced the industrial silicon production capacity/output, it would be a significant negative for the demand side. The operating rate of silicone was 69.56%, a decrease of 4.73 percentage points from the previous week. After the futures price broke through the support last week, funds concentrated on increasing positions and volume, and the price declined to test the 8,200 level. The basis quickly increased from being basically flat. On Friday, short - term short positions actively stopped losses and reduced positions, and the rebound of raw material commodities provided support, but the rebound resistance was also obvious. Overall, it was expected to operate in a bearish and volatile manner [5] Market News - On December 15, the number of industrial silicon warehouse receipts on the Guangzhou Futures Exchange was 8,743 lots, an increase of 124 lots from the previous trading day. The industrial silicon inventory was 446,400 tons, a week - on - week increase of 2.22% and a year - on - year increase of 30.40% [6] - The silicone DMC market remained stable.

On the fundamental side, supply is approaching the seasonal low, with the expected output in December around 350,000 tons. On the demand side, the weakening expectation is being realized. The establishment of the polysilicon storage platform is expected to limit the supply of silicon materials, but the short - term output remains stable. The average operating load rate of silicone monomers is 74.29%, a decrease of 2 percentage points from last week. In addition, alloy demand has entered the seasonal off - season. The basis continues to widen, but the industry's bearish driving force is weak. Futures prices should be treated with a bearish mindset and bottom - fishing is not advisable. The price has repeatedly tested the 8,230 level during the day and rebounded. Attention should be paid to the support near the previous low [5] 4. Market News - On December 10, the number of industrial silicon warehouse receipts on the Guangzhou Futures Exchange was 7,780 lots, an increase of 252 lots from the previous trading day [6] - The silicone DMC market remained stable.
