This week, the price of silicon metal at Tianjin Port slightly declined. Middle traders
and the end user still mainly purchased goods based on the demand. At present,
there is no obvious contradiction between supply and demand in the silicon market.
It is expected that the market trend will remain stable with a slight weakness.
This week, the market price of metallic silicon raw materials remained stable. Due to
the frequent fluctuations in raw coal prices recently, the price is likely to slightly decline
next week, with little room for reduction. The production costs of industrial silicon
manufacturers will not change significantly. The raw material inventory of factories is
still mainly based on essential demand. The resumption time of most silicon factories
in Sichuan and Yunnan regions is unknown, so there has been no centralized
procurement of raw materials recently.
