Polysilicon market held steady this week, and price is stable and supply decrease before and after the Spring Festival (1.13-19)

1、 Price trend

 

According to the data in the business club’s bulk list, the trend of polysilicon in China this week (1.13-19) has not changed much compared with last week. After the market stopped falling, it did not usher in an increase. At present, the deadlock is mainly stable, and the purchase volume in the downstream before the Festival did not increase, mainly for the temporary Spring Festival. Before that, most of the enterprises have signed the bill. At present, there is no market and the supply pressure has eased slightly. As of January 19, according to the business The overall rise and fall of domestic polysilicon solar grade cycle is 0% as monitored by CCS, and the average price quoted by enterprises is 52000-56000 yuan / ton. The current price is about 20% lower than last year. At present, the domestic single crystal is still stable, and the price range of compact material is 680-700 million yuan / ton, and the price difference of single polycrystal is not much different from that of last week.

2、 Market analysis

 

From the perspective of market supply and demand, the supply pressure is OK. This week, 12 polysilicon production enterprises are operating normally, with partial load reduction. According to the production plan of each enterprise, at present, the enterprise inventory control is effective, and there is no huge social inventory pressure. In addition, the two enterprises in South Korea shut down production for maintenance in January and February, and the domestic import volume will be reduced accordingly, which also slowed down the domestic supply pressure to some extent. From the comparison of monocrystal and polycrystal, the performance of monocrystal silicon is slightly better than polycrystal silicon, which occupies part of the demand of polycrystal silicon. The growth of monocrystal production is still continuing, and the demand is increasing. According to the situation of manufacturers, in polysilicon enterprises, after the order signing year, the market purchase volume has increased slightly. Although the price remains low, the order has increased significantly. On the other hand, the single crystal inventory of silicon material enterprises has been consumed during the low price period of the market in the past few weeks, so there is no more supply pressure, so the price of single crystal has not been shaken, the downward pressure of polysilicon has also been eased, and the market is rigid and stable.

Let’s take a look at the demand situation: since 2020, polysilicon demand has remained rigid and stable, and the price has stopped falling and stabilized. Before the festival, most of the downstream orders have been placed in advance, and most of the orders have been signed in February. The transaction price of some enterprises shows slight signs of recovery. On the one hand, because the downstream demand is rigid, the purchasing base gas at the end of the lunar calendar year, and the polysilicon operation rate has increased to 100%, which also confirms the downstream The demand is getting better, but it can’t be entirely optimistic. This is inseparable from the Spring Festival procurement peak. After the completion of the downstream stock up, the possibility of enterprises gradually accumulating the stock is not ruled out.

 

3、 Future forecast

 

In the future, business analysts believe that the improvement of demand is the main reason for polysilicon market to stop falling and stabilize. From the current high operating rate of enterprises, enterprise inventory pressure is still under control, which also confirms the relative rigidity of market demand. However, there are also some variables in the mid-term of the supply side. Most of the enterprises start work at full load, which does not exclude the possibility that the inventory will return to a high level again after the festival, and the demand released in advance will be superimposed. After the Spring Festival, the demand may be discounted, and the market procurement may be reduced. Therefore, it does not exclude that the market will enter a new inventory removal cycle, and the price may be repeated.

2、 Market analysis

 

Product: the price trend of fluorite in China this week has been fluctuating. Recently, the supply of fluorite in China has decreased. However, the demand for fluorite in the downstream hydrofluoric acid and refrigerant industries has not improved significantly. The price of fluorite has been fluctuating with little change. The price of fluorite in the market is generally the same. The manufacturers and downstream companies are going to have holidays gradually near the Spring Festival. The price trend of fluorite in the market is stable. By the end of the week, the price of 97 fluorite wet powder in Inner Mongolia was 2700-3000 yuan / ton, that of 97 fluorite wet powder in Fujian was 2800-3000 yuan / ton, that of 97 fluorite wet powder in Henan was 2800-3100 yuan / ton, that of 97 fluorite wet powder in Jiangxi was 2800-3000 yuan / ton, and the price trend of fluorite was stable temporarily.

 

Industry chain: the market price of hydrofluoric acid in the downstream of fluorite is stable this week. As of the end of the week, the ex factory price of hydrofluoric acid is 10240 yuan / ton. The price trend of hydrofluoric acid in the downstream is stable this week. The stability of the market price of hydrofluoric acid in the downstream is a good factor in the fluorite market, and the market price of fluorite in China remains volatile. In the near future, the trading trend of the downstream refrigerant market of the terminal is stable, mainly because the quota of enterprises at the end of the year is limited, the supply is tight, and the market is out of stock, most manufacturers do not accept new orders basically, and the orders before the main supply, the price is high and stable. The transaction price of bulk water market of traders is chaotic, and the supply of goods in their hands is tight. The terminal’s demand for refrigerant R22 has not been improved, and the main price of domestic large enterprises is 15500-18500 yuan / ton. The price trend of domestic R134a market remains high, and the unit operating rate of production enterprises remains low. At present, the air conditioning industry has entered the cycle of goods preparation, and the demand for R134a has slightly improved. At present, the supply of R134a in the market is a little tight, and the price trend remains high, the downstream is still on-demand procurement, and the price trend of fluorite market is mainly stable.

2、 Market analysis

 

In the near future, copper has maintained a narrow range of shock trend. The supply of raw materials is tight, Codelco may not renew the agreement of supplying copper concentrate to a smelter in Shandong Province in 2020, which causes the market’s concern about the supply of refined copper. There are too many fundamentals in the copper market, and the support under the copper price remains.

3、 Future prospects

 

According to the above situation, copper analysts of nonferrous branch of business agency think that: near the Spring Festival, processing enterprises are gradually on holiday, trading enterprises are clearing inventory and settling accounts, and the transaction is increasingly weak. The comments of the US Treasury secretary made the market cautious about the trade prospect between China and the US, and the copper price was blocked in the upward direction. However, the fundamentals are still supported, and the space below is limited. In the short term, the copper price may fluctuate.

2、 Market analysis

 

Product: stable operation of domestic alcohol market. Henan’s market is stable with stable price; Northeast’s market is weak with stable price; Shandong’s short-term logistics has little impact on the price; East China’s current supply is small with high market price supported by the supply. The downstream demand in Guangxi continues to slow down, the enterprise quotation is stable, a small number of customers just need to maintain procurement; the market price in Guangdong before the Spring Festival is still dominated by high price consolidation; the enterprise quotation in Anhui is still relatively stable, the overall market performance is light, and the enterprises in other regions have little change.

 

Industry chain: corn: the price of corn has been slightly adjusted during the stabilization. Before and after the lunar new year, the grain sales of grass-roots growers will be finished, and the marketable time of the market will be tightened again, so it is difficult for the spot mainstream market to fluctuate substantially. The period of grain sales before the festival is shortened, farmers are faced with the demand of cash realization and loan repayment before the festival, and the grass-roots grain sales in the main production area have increased. Some processing enterprises will end their periodic stock preparation, and the purchase and sale will turn to light. The spot price is still in the weak adjustment stage, but the signs of bottoming have been shown. We still believe that the probability of corn prices continuing to be weak in the short term is on the high side, and this prediction will not change for the time being. Due to the pulling effect of stock up demand before the Spring Festival, it is expected that corn prices will be stable around the first and middle of January.

Ethyl acetate: the domestic market of ethyl acetate continued to be stable, the raw material acetic acid rose and then stabilized, and the cost of ethyl acetate was dispersed. The substantial demand for ethyl acetate in the downstream is weak, but the falling price does not attract the downstream purchase. The market is passive and the transaction is light and stalemate. Some ethyl acetate manufacturers stop during the Spring Festival, and the overall social inventory growth is slow. It is expected that the market of ethyl acetate will be stable next week.

 

3、 Future forecast

 

Business alcohol analysts expect that the short-term domestic ethanol market finishing operation. Large factories in Northeast China have low inventory and stable shipment; however, small factories have high inventory, positive shipment mentality and weak market price due to the limitation of transportation; East China’s arrival in Hong Kong in January is not large, production enterprises start less, market supply is limited, and downstream demand is limited, so it is expected that the short-term market will remain in order; Henan Province’s production enterprises will be loaded due to the reduction of liquor and chemical industry Under normal operation, short-term market weakness is expected to be consolidated. At present, the production of existing devices in Guangxi is stable, but the Spring Festival is approaching, and the downstream rigid demand is slightly insufficient. Some enterprises have low inventory price before the festival, and it is expected that the short-term market will be weak and stable. At present, the production enterprises in Guangdong Province have less startup of devices, the downstream maintains rigid demand procurement, and the supply side is favorable for the market price, and the market price is expected to be high. Hubei has enterprise parking plan, and the market is expected to be high The price is high and stable; the downstream demand in Anhui and Sichuan is close to the end, the inventory of enterprises is not high, and the market price is expected to be stable.
