Last week, the price of metal silicon remained stable and declined slightly. From the supply side perspective, silicon factories in Xinjiang are gradually resuming work and production, while the operating rates in Gansu and Inner Mongolia have increased. The rainy season in Southwest China has ended, and electricity prices have increased. With the introduction of electricity restriction policies, some silicon factories have already ceased production. However, the current shutdown volume is relatively small, which has little impact on production and overall supply has increased. From the demand side, there has been no improvement in the operating rate of organic silicon manufacturers, and some individual factories have allowed profits to ship, but the transaction is average; Although the price of polycrystalline silicon has decreased, new orders have been completed and new production capacity is gradually being put in, maintaining an increasing demand for metallic silicon; Aluminum alloy enterprises normally purchase metal silicon on demand.
