With the continuous weakening of silicon metal prices, the price of silicon metal (Si≥97%) also dropped. Currently, the price spread between silicon metal (Si≥97%) and standard silicon metal is very narrow, and the demand from downstream aluminum producers stays weak. In addition, with the rebound in ferrosilicon prices in June, some silicon metal (Si≥97%) manufacturers have over-signed ferrosilicon orders. Therefore, they switched to producing ferrosilicon and other products in June.
According to the SMM survey, the production of silicon metal (Si≥97%) in June was only 31,000 mt, a significant reduction of 6,000 mt compared to 37,000 mt in May. Some manufacturers in Ningxia underwent maintenance in June, and a manufacturer in Gansu carried out technical upgrades in June, switching to silicon metal production starting in July.
Currently, silicon metal (Si≥97%) manufacturers generally report subdued orders, and the prices have also entered a downward trend along with silicon metal. Manufacturers that switched to producing other products had no intention of returning to silicon metal (Si≥97%) production in July. It is expected that the scheduled production in July will decline compared to June.
Currently, the price of silicon metal (Si≥97%, 1.2%≤Fe<1.5%, Ca≤0.3%) is around 11,700-11,800 yuan/mt. Most manufacturers remain pessimistic about the future price of silicon metal (Si≥97%), with the price spread between silicon metal (Si≥97%) and standard silicon metal only around 200 yuan/mt, indicating a very low price advantage. Silicon metal (Si≥97%) prices still have a certain downward room.
