[SMM Silicon Daily Review: Silicon Metal Prices Remain Stagnant and Stable Recently] Silicon metal prices in east China remain stable. Standard #553 silicon metal in east China is priced at 10,600-10,700 yuan/mt, above-standard #553 silicon metal at 10,800-10,900 yuan/mt, and #421 silicon metal at 11,500-11,700 yuan/mt.

SMM, February 12: Silicon metal prices in east China remained largely stable. Standard #553 silicon metal in east China was priced at 10,600-10,700 yuan/mt, above-standard #553 silicon metal at 10,800-10,900 yuan/mt, and #421 silicon metal at 11,500-11,700 yuan/mt. The recent inquiry activity in the silicon metal market has been relatively strong, but actual new order transactions fell short of expectations. This is mainly due to the price divergence between silicon buyers and sellers. Most silicon plants reported that downstream silicon purchasers still have strong price suppression sentiment, while silicon plants currently prefer to maintain stable quotations and show low willingness to sign orders at reduced prices.

Before the holiday, the black chain is unlikely to see a trend-driven market [SMM Steel Industry Chain Weekly Report].

This week, ferrous metals were in the doldrums, with coking coal and coke staging a mid-week rise. At the beginning of the week, financial markets experienced sharp fluctuations, dragging down sentiment in the ferrous chain and leading to a pullback in futures. Mid-week, Indonesia's cut to coke production quotas drove coking coal and coke futures to lead the gains, though the impact was more pronounced on thermal coal, while coking coal's rise was largely sentiment-driven and short-lived. In the latter part of the week, finished products continued their seasonal inventory buildup, and support from the raw material side weakened, causing the entire ferrous chain to pull back. In the spot market, with the Chinese New Year holiday approaching, purchasing activity slowed down further, with end-users only making limited, as-needed purchases at low prices.
