SHANGHAI, Feb 6 (SMM) - According to Guangzhou Futures Exchange, as of the close of trading on February 2, the total number of industrial silicon futures warrants was 45,917 lots, up by 1,934 lots on a week-on-week basis, an increase of 4.4%. In terms of regions, Kunming, Shanghai, and Tianjin occupy the top three positions in terms of the number of warrants, accounting for 31%, 20%, and 15% respectively. The increase in warrants mainly came from Kunming, Jiangsu, and Shanghai, with a week-on-week increase of 480 lots, 395 lots, and 336 lots respectively.

In the penultimate week before the CNY holiday, the weekly growth rate of industrial silicon futures warrants rebounded slightly by 2.2%. The increment of warrants in Kunming increased significantly compared with a week earlier. The increase in warrants in Guangdong and Sichuan delivery warehouses exceeded 100 lots, and the number of warrants in Xinjiang increased by 24 lots. As freight transportation gradually stops before the holiday, it is expected that it will be difficult for goods to enter and exit the delivery warehouse in the short term.

[SMM Silicon-Based PV Morning Meeting Summary] Polysilicon: N-type recharging polysilicon was quoted at 33-35.7 yuan/kg. Polysilicon prices remained generally weak, with sluggish market transactions. Previous order signing had concluded, and the current focus was primarily on shipments, with market participants watching for subsequent policy developments. Wafer: Market prices for 18X wafers were 0.88-0.9 yuan/piece, 210RN wafers were priced at 0.98-1.00 yuan/piece, and 210N wafers were priced at 1.18-1.2 yuan/piece. Top-tier players continued to hold prices, and improving quality to justify price increases had become the most pressing task in the wafer segment.

[SMM PV Flash News: SEG Solar's Third Manufacturing Facility Bringing Annual Manufacturing Capacity to 10.6 GW] SEG Solar, a US-based solar module manufacturer, has announced plans to build its third US module manufacturing facility in Texas, with an annual production capacity of 4.6GW, bringing the company's planned total capacity to 10.6GW. SMM believes that SEG Solar's continued capacity buildout aims to deepen US localization not just at the module assembly level, but progressively upstream as well, as SEG has already initiated planning for an ingot and wafer facility in Indonesia. That said, near-term supply chain resilience will therefore likely continue to depend on a hybrid model combining domestic module capacity with strategically diversified upstream sourcing outside China.
