Last week, market trading sentiment was sluggish, and cell inventory continued to grow.

Last week, market trading sentiment was sluggish, and cell inventory continued to grow. The price of 18X series photovoltaic cells remained largely stable, while the price of 210N series cells saw a slight decline. Cell makers faced significant inventory pressure, with some reducing their operating rates to deplete stock. As both direct sales and OEM markets are currently suffering losses, the market is hoping for a sentiment boost during the exhibition period, but the demand increase in June is limited. Last week, cell prices stabilized. With stable upstream prices, cell prices are unlikely to fall further. Affected by a slight increase in upstream silicon wafer transactions, cell prices received further support.
