Influencing factors of silicon market in August

 

In early August, Chongqing Hunan silicon factory planned to resume production. In July, silicon price recovered and some manufacturers were willing to resume production.

 

2. Due to the impact of public health events, the transportation of raw materials and finished products in Xinjiang silicon plant was hindered. Some downstream customers switch to other regions for stock purchase.

 

3. Affected by the flood situation in Sichuan Province and the rainstorm, the operating rate of silicon plants in Southwest China has decreased slightly.

 

At present, transportation problems still exist in Xinjiang and Sichuan, some downstream cross regional replenishment reservoirs; although August is the wet season, the operating rate is not significantly increased due to the impact of production cut in some regions; domestic supply and demand is relatively stable, and the metal silicon export volume in import and export is relatively warm, and it is still low year-on-year.
