Chart: Price Trends of Silicone Products

This week, domestic leading enterprises once again raised the prices of various silicone series products. DMC prices increased by another 500 yuan/mt this week. Against this backdrop, monomer enterprises maintained a highly consistent sentiment to stand firm on quotes, with other monomer enterprises raising their prices to 14,000 yuan/mt. SMM had previously anticipated this round of price increases, with specific reasons as follows: First, the domestic supply side has recently seen a continuous decline in operating rates, with maintenance plans of various monomer enterprises following one after another. The supply of products such as 107 silicone rubber and raw rubber has started to decrease, coupled with the fact that domestic monomer enterprises currently face low inventory pressure. Second, downstream demand for room-temperature adhesives and high-temperature adhesives has begun to rise due to the impact of peak season demand, providing certain support for market demand. Moreover, demand in March is expected to remain stable. Under the influence of weak supply and strong demand, the prices of DMC and raw material products have started to rise again.

Regarding future price forecasts, SMM believes that after this round of price increases, prices are expected to remain stable in the short term. The reasons are as follows: Recently, monomer enterprises have raised prices rapidly, which is expected to limit downstream sentiment to take orders. Additionally, the replenishment of raw material inventories by downstream enterprises will take time to digest. Short-term order-taking is expected to be moderate, but subsequent transactions are still likely to improve. Therefore, in the short term, monomer enterprises are expected to stabilize their quotes and focus on taking orders.

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.
