The rainy season across Sichuan and Yunnan provinces, two major production regions of silicon metals, appeared to set in later this year.
Prices of low-grade silicon continued to climb on Thursday May 23, bolstered by limited spot supplies. Some producers without spot cargoes raised their port quotes for #5-series to 10,800 yuan/mt.
