The National Energy Administration released on July 18 the remaining quotas for residential solar qualifying for a 2019 subsidy

SHANGHAI, Jul 19 (SMM) – Potential strength in demand for photovoltaic-use (PV-use) aluminium extrusion is expected in the second half of the year, as the National Energy Administration (NEA) released on Thursday July 18 the remaining quotas for residential solar qualifying for a 2019 subsidy, which stood at 1.27GW.

The NEA said on its website that some 2.23GW installed capacity of PV projects was eligible for national subsidies in the year to end-June, with the total approved quotas of 3.5GW for 2019.

The rooftop market performed steadily in the first half of this year, recovering from a slowdown after China announced its plan to curtail central subsidies, on May 31 of 2018.

Customs data showed that China’s export of PV modules in June increased by 5.6% on the month and by 95.9% on the year, to stand at 5,974.36MW.

Rate Hike Lands, Platinum and Palladium Consolidate; Spot Market Supply Tight, Deals Near Parity [SMM Platinum and Palladium Weekly Review]

Platinum and palladium prices opened lower with a gap this week, consolidated at lows, and moved sideways after the rate hike landed, with both metals closing lower for the week. In the spot market, after futures opened sharply lower early in the week, spot platinum and palladium discounts narrowed notably. Orders from most downstream buyers recovered, as they actively inquired and purchased near short-term price lows following the futures market. Cargoes at deep discounts were cleared, and suppliers held prices firm on shipments. In the near term, platinum and palladium are likely to consolidate on a subdued note. Going forward, close attention should be paid to US Fed officials' remarks, US September inflation and employment data, and the policy path from the meeting.

Fed Unanimously Votes for Rate Hike, Precious Metals Face Downward Pressure

**SMM News, September 17:** Overnight, Federal Reserve members voted unanimously in favor of an interest rate hike, a rare outcome, and further consecutive rate hikes remain possible. Precious metals have been under sustained downward pressure on the back of the rate hike news, triggering a sudden pullback in rhodium prices following their earlier rally.
