This week, the price of metallic silicon fell sharply (7.22-7.29)

441 * silicon price trend

 

As of July 29, according to the price monitoring of the business agency, the average market price of 441 × metal silicon in China was 17990 yuan / ton, down 0.72% from last week. Metallic silicon showed signs of declining this week. Although the quotations of some silicon factories remained firm, the prices of metallurgical grade silicon were loosened and lowered under the pressure of downstream aluminum alloy users.

On the 22nd, the prices of 441# silicon in various regions are as follows:

 

The price range of #441 metallic silicon in Huangpu port area is 17900-18100 yuan / ton, with an average price of 18000 yuan / ton; The price range of #441 metallic silicon in Tianjin port is 17900-18100 yuan / ton, with an average price of 18000 yuan / ton; The price range of #441 metallic silicon in Kunming is 17700-17800 yuan / ton, with an average of 17750 yuan / ton; The price range of #441 metallic silicon in Sichuan is 17500-17700 yuan / ton, with an average of 17600 yuan / ton; Shanghai #441 metal silicon price range is 18500-18700 yuan / ton, with an average price of 18600 yuan / ton.

 

Influencing factors of metal silicon price fluctuation

Supply side

At present, the production cost of silicon plant is high, the contradiction between power supply is prominent, and the electricity price is higher than that in previous years. At the same time, the price of silicon coal and electrode remains high. The price of silicon coal is about 2100 yuan / ton, and the price of electrode is about 16000 yuan / ton. Therefore, the cost side support of metal silicon is strong.

 

Demand side

 

The price of organosilicon DMC fell weakly, with the mainstream price falling by 20000 yuan / ton, the price of aluminum alloy falling by 800 yuan / ton, and the mainstream quotation of 17000 yuan / ton. The overall order shortage of the two downstream products led to the reduction of enterprise profits and the weakening of operating rate, thus suppressing the price of metal silicon.

 

The market price of polysilicon is 278333.34 yuan / ton, which is the same as last week. The future production capacity has been basically realized on the silicon price.

 

Aftermarket forecast

 

The price of silicon is obviously supported by the cost side, and the willingness of silicon manufacturers to support the price is also strong. However, the poor performance of downstream aluminum alloy and silicone has led to weak demand for metallic silicon, and there are serious differences between upstream and downstream. It is expected that the trend of returning home in the short term will show a game situation.
