Traded price of low-grade silicon kept hiking this week, while that of high-grade silicon remained stable. The price difference between the two continued to erode. As of December 14, in East China, prices of standard 553# silicon were up 250 yuan/mt WoW at 14,500-14,600 yuan/mt, that of above-standard 553# silicon were up 200 yuan/mt WoW, at 14,800-15,000 yuan/mt, that of 441# silicon were up 150 yuan/mt WoW at 15,200-15,300 yuan/mt and that of 421# silicon were stable at 15,700-15,900 yuan/mt. Some downstream buyers and traders reported high offers and the tight high-quality silicon supply. Silicon plants kept offers firm.
Low-grade silicon prices are likely to hold firm or rise slightly in the short term. In terms of high-grade silicon, prices will lack upward momentum amid abundant supply.
