The social inventory of silicon metal across three regions declined.

SHANGHAI, Nov 18 (SMM) - The social inventory of silicon metal across Huangpu port, Kunming city and Tianjing port declined 1,000 mt to 115,000 mt as of November 18. After the pandemic eased in Kunming, the shipment of warehouses resumed to the normal level and the orders placed in the previous stage were shipped. Coupled with the decline in arrivals, the inventory remained low. In Tianjing port, the inflow and outflow of goods were both weak, but the increase in arrivals was more significant, hence the inventory increased slightly. The inventory of Huangpu port remained stable and about 1,000 mt goods will be delivered this weekend.
