[Silicon Industry Branch: Production reduction expectations are clear Transactions in the polysilicon market improved this week] September 23rd, according to the Silicon Industry Branch of the China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association, Antaike statistics show that the transaction price range of n-type compound materials (rod silicon) this week was 43,000-43,000 yuan/ton, and the average transaction price was 43,000 yuan/ton; the transaction price range of n-type granular silicon was 40,000-41,000 yuan/ton, and the average transaction price was 40,300 yuan/ton. This week, the domestic polysilicon market sentiment has improved compared to last week, with the number of transaction companies at 3-4, and the actual transaction volume has increased. As the production adjustment plans of various enterprises are gradually clarified, the supply side of the industry is expected to shrink further. Starting from October, the overall operating load of the industry is expected to drop to about 35%. Affected by this, some downstream companies gradually began to replenish their inventories. At present, silicon material companies are resolute in raising prices and generally use full cost as their bottom line quotation. But overall, downstream companies still have raw material stocks in addition to urgent purchases, and large-scale centralized procurement has not yet started.
