All plants suspended from the end of April, for environmental probes. Just one plant has resumed operations.

SHANGHAI, Aug 23 (SMM) – Some silicon producers in Inner Mongolia plan to resume operation in early September, SMM learned. All plants have suspended from the end of April, for environmental probes.

After probes ended in late June, just one plant recovered production as low silicon prices eroded production enthusiasm across plants.

More time is also required for plants in Inner Mongolia to resume production, as producers have to apply for discounts on electricity.

The #553 silicon without oxygen refinery mostly traded at 11,600-11,700 yuan/mt at Tianjin port on Thursday August 23.

Operations at Chinese manufacturers of flat-rolled copper products slowed in April, as backlogged orders had been fulfilled and as the COVID-19 lockdown restrictions dealt a blow to the demand that have already been weak.

data analysis

Operating rates at Chinese copper sheet/plate, strip, foil producers fell to 68.3% in April

Operating rates of China silicon plants rallied to 33.3% in April as mills in south-west reopened

Resumption of production in Yunnan and Sichuan accounted for the rally in April’s operating rates. Silicon plants in Nujiang of Yunnan and Ngawa and Leshan of Sichuan reopened part of their capacity ahead of the arrival of rainy session, and this offset some capacity curtailment in Xinjiang and Chongqing due to losses and tight ore supply.

Silicon producers in Sichuan remain closed despite lower electricity costs

Southwest China’s Sichuan province lowered electricity tariffs to the normal season mode on Saturday. There were barely any silicon producers in the region stepping up production, SMM research found, due to weak silicon prices and limited power supply caused by continued drought.

Operating rates of China silicon plants fell to fresh 4-year low in March

Last month, the capacity in operation reduced in Xinjiang, Sichuan and Shaanxi. Continued raw materials shortage kept major silicon plants in Xinjiang from resuming the capacity that has been shut down since February. Meanwhile, falling silicon prices prompted some medium-scale producers to cut output or undergo maintenance in the second half of March.

Disrupted wood charcoal imports likely delay resumption of silicon plants in wet season

Chinese silicon plants may face difficulties to resume production as scheduled in the wet season starting from June as the global widespread COVID-19 has disrupted the supply chain and led to a shortage of raw material wood charcoal. SMM learned that most silicon plants have conducted maintenance and tried to secure feedstock for the preparation of resumption.

Lower inventories at end-March unlikely to reverse stainless steel fundamentals

Social inventories of stainless steel in China showed signed of declines at end-March, after the stocks hit the highest level on record last month. However, downstream demand has yet to recover sufficiently to support a sustained slide in the inventories, which may threaten lingering inventory pressure in April that will keep stainless steel prices under pressure.
