Stocks across Huangpu port, Kunming, and Tianjin port barely changed from a week ago to stand at 42,000 mt as of Jun 28

SHANGHAI, Jun 28 (SMM) – Social inventories of silicon metal across Huangpu port, Kunming city, and Tianjin port barely changed from a week ago to stand at 42,000 mt as of Friday June 28, showed SMM data.

While southern producers ramped up operations in a rainy season and Xinjiang producers recovered from a silica shortage, poor trades kept cargoes from moving from producers to social warehouses.

SMM expects social inventories of silicon metal to expand in July.
