The downstream consumption of silicon metal changed

1.Aluminum market.  Aluminum industry itself due to terminal consumption decline, market weak.  After entering the low season of high temperature production in July and August, the operation rate of many small and medium-sized aluminum factories continued to decline. Large aluminum factories also said that their operation rate was not high due to the impact of the epidemic, and only maintained at present.  Recently, the price of aluminum has fallen to around 18000 yuan/ton. The aluminum factory says it is difficult to produce, ship and lose money.  

2. silicone market.  Silicone production is also facing a challenge. Summer is not only high temperature and rainy, which brings many risks to the safety of silicone factory production.  In its terminal consumption capacity is not good, silicone products to raise prices slightly weak.  The recent downstream market replenishment temporarily came to an end, will enter the consumption of inventory stage, the volume of new orders decreased compared with last week.  

3. polysilicon market.  The price of polysilicon is still on the rise, the factory must not reduce production, the new factory is stepping up production arrangements, part of the new project has been put into production, but it takes some time for consumption to grow steadily, and some original factories have production reduction maintenance, overall, the recent polysilicon market for silicon metal consumption increment is still limited.  

4. Export market.  Silicon metal exports volume are reducing year to year, the price changes with the domestic market.
