Silicon Industry Association: Cost and supply provide dual support, industrial silicon prices fluctuate slightly upward

This week, the industrial silicon market saw a slight increase in the linkage between futures and spot prices, with the main contract 2601 closing at 9,390 yuan/ton, up from 9,145 yuan/ton. The national comprehensive price of industrial silicon is 9,250 yuan/ton, an increase of 43 yuan/ton compared to the previous period. The supply side is tightening, with electricity price increases in the southwest region leading to higher production costs, while high social inventory suppresses prices. Demand remains weak, with low procurement demand and limited improvement in end consumption. Overall, industrial silicon has seen a slight increase amid the interplay between cost support and weak demand with high inventory
