Silicon plants in north China, especially in Xinjiang, are now keener to destock after a week of slow transactions

SHANGHAI, Mar 28 (SMM) – Silicon plants in north China, especially in Xinjiang, are now keener to destock after a week of slow transactions grew inventories, SMM learned. All grades of silicon products saw lower offers as of Wednesday March 28.

If prices continue to decline, maintenance works scheduled for May-June are likely to be brought forward. A lower operation rate will provide some support to silicon prices.

China Weekly Inventory Summary and Data Wrap (Oct 15)

Silicon prices surged amid extensive power rationing

The silicon metal prices surged broadly by over 120% in September from the previous month, with 553# silicon with oxygen leading the gains. As of September 30, 553# silicon with oxygen in east China stood at 59,000 yuan/mt, up 154% on the month. The short supply of spot amid extensive power rationing in Yunnan and Sichuan was the main reason for the short-term surge of prices. While the production costs also increased on the back of rising prices of raw materials such as clean coal, supporting the silicon metal prices as well.
