In terms of organic silicon, last week's DMC price was mainly stable, with a narrow decline in transaction prices. Last week, individual factories showed a strong willingness to stand up for prices, resulting in weaker downstream terminal demand. They were cautious in buying goods at high prices and had an increased wait-and-see attitude. As the actual transaction price of a single factory in Shandong province fell by 200 yuan/ton, some individual factories followed suit moderately, while DMC overall remained stable and declined; Silicon metal prices remain stable and weak, while methane chloride prices remain stable. Methanol prices have slightly declined, and DMC cost support remains strong. The mainstream quotation in the domestic DMC market is 14500-15000 yuan/ton. The prices of raw materials are relatively stable, with some cost support. At the same time, downstream rigid demand procurement is the main focus, while the prices of 107 rubber, raw rubber, mixed rubber, and silicone oil are generally stable. Overall, the cost side support is still strong at present, with a large number of pre-sale orders arranged by major factories and other individual factories. The overall inventory pressure of other individual factories is not high, but there are not many pre-sale orders anymore. With the continuous stability of prices in major factories, it is expected that the organic silicon market will continue to operate smoothly in the near future, with limited downward space.
