Changes in silicon social inventories diverge in north, south

SHANGHAI, Apr 19 (SMM) – Social inventories of silicon metal across Huangpu port, Kunming city, and Tianjin port held unchanged from a week ago and stood at 58,000 mt as of Friday April 19, SMM data showed.

While stocks at Huangpu port in the southern province of Guangdong declined on the week, greater arrivals grew inventories at Tianjin port as operating rates across silicon producers in the north and south varied. Spot trades remained sluggish last week.
