Published: Jun 9, 2026 09:14

Customs data show that China's cumulative PV product exports from January to April 2026 were up about 43% YoY, as foreign demand remained strong despite the cancellation of export tax rebates for PV products from April 1. Especially in the Southeast Asian market, in April this year, monthly module exports were up 267% YoY.

Industry insiders believe that global new PV installations will remain above 500 GW in 2026, and that, while seizing the global new energy transition, China's PV enterprises are accelerating technological upgrades and structural optimization to achieve a shift from scale expansion to quality and efficiency improvement.

[SMM Silver Weekly Review: Silver Retreats After Rapid Rise This Week, Up 3.29% on the Week; Futures Stay Firm While Spot Discounts Widen]Silver prices retreated after a rapid rise this week, gaining 3.29% on the week. Negative nonfarm payrolls and cooling rate-hike expectations pushed prices to a mid-week high, but the market turned cautious after the CPI release. Spot premiums gradually shifted to discounts, showing a divergence pattern in which futures were strong while spot was weak. Inventories saw a 74 mt buildup, and ETF holdings edged up. In the short term, prices are likely to consolidate; over the medium and long term, watch for upside opportunities after the rate hike path and geopolitical situation become clearer.

Precious metals fluctuated at highs overall this week, with spot gold rallying from $4,240 to above $4,440 and hitting a two-month high. The core drivers were a sharp downside surprise in July nonfarm payrolls and a mild pullback in CPI; expectations for a US Fed interest rate hike in September cooled significantly, the US dollar and US Treasury yields both pulled back, and central bank gold purchases accelerated. Watch for a rebound in oil prices, supply pressure in US Treasuries, and a short-term technical pullback.
