analysis of influencing factors
In terms of supply and demand: Currently, the overall supply and demand performance of the metal silicon market is weak. Due to poor demand performance, the overall production capacity construction of industrial silicon in the north has led to a reduction in supply, while some silicon enterprises in the southwest have resumed production in a small scale, resulting in a slight increase in supply. However, with the reduction in demand in the north, the overall supply has decreased. The downstream transactions of silicon metal are cautious, with a strong wait-and-see attitude towards stocking up, and purchases are mainly for essential needs. The transmission between supply and demand in the silicon metal market is slow.
Market analysis in the future
At present, the overall trading and inquiry atmosphere in the metal silicon market is light, and the mentality of industry players is average. There is a certain level of concern in the market. The metal silicon data analyst from Shengyi Society predicts that in the short term, the domestic metal silicon market will mainly focus on weak consolidation and operation, and specific changes in supply and demand information need to be closely monitored.
