Last week, DMC market prices continued to rise. The price of silicon metal has experienced a narrow decline, while the price of methanol has fluctuated at a high level, and cost pressures continue to rise. Individual factories mainly rely on pre-sale orders for delivery, with tight supply of spot goods. The downstream mainly focuses on digesting inventory, with weak willingness to follow up on new orders, and the overall trading atmosphere is light. The current mainstream quotation for DMC is 14500-15600 yuan/ton. The actual average transaction price is around 14600 yuan/ton.
Last week, the price of DMC raw materials rose, and products such as 107 rubber, raw rubber, and mixed rubber saw a slight increase. Silicone oil prices have increased significantly due to the rise in both DMC and silicone ether prices. After the price increase, downstream and terminal wait-and-see sentiment has intensified, and it is expected that the price of organic silicon products will remain stable in the short term.
Last week, the black market for gas-phase white carbon operated steadily and positively, with increased cost support. Monomethyltrichlorosilane operated at a high level and supply was tight. In April, some companies may undergo maintenance, and they have a strong willingness to raise prices.
Last week, trading in the gas-phase silica market continued to heat up. The downstream price of silicone rubber has continued to rise, with a high acceptance of gas silicone prices and an increasing demand for it, resulting in stable supply in the gas silicone market. It is expected that the market for gas-phase silica will continue to improve in the short term.
