Last week, the price of DMC was stable and rose locally. Last week, DMC prices of manufacturers in Shandong rebounded, with a cumulative increase of 500 yuan/ton. Downstream replenishment is appropriate, the pre-sale and order scheduling of monomer plants are improved, and the phenomenon of closing of monomer plants is increased; The price of silicon metal continued to fall, the price of methanol and methyl chloride rose, and the cost of DMC fluctuated little. At present, mainstream DMC offers 16800-17300 yuan/ton. Last week, the price of raw materials stopped falling and rebounded slightly, and the cost side was supported. In addition, as the Spring Festival approached, there was an appropriate amount of replenishment in the downstream, 107 rubber, raw rubber and mixed rubber rose with each other, and the price of silicone oil remained stable. It is expected that the price of silicone will be stable in the short term.


Last week, China's fumed silica market continued to make weak adjustments, and corporate offers decreased. In terms of raw materials, the price of silicon tetrachloride remained stable last week; The price of methyltrichlorosilane has declined. Last week, near the Spring Festival, downstream enterprises had limited stock and fewer orders for delivery; Some gas-silicon enterprises stopped production for maintenance, and the offer of gas-silicon enterprises decreased, but the overall inventory situation was still high; The price of raw materials fell slightly, but the impact on cost was limited. It is expected that the volatile fumed silica market will be dominated by weak fluctuations in the short term.


The price of domestic industrial silicon continued to fall last week. Recently, the market of downstream organic silicon and aluminum alloy is relatively low, the demand for industrial silicon is relatively weak, the performance of domestic industrial silicon market is poor, and the market is in a downward trend. As of this week, there is no obvious sign of recovery in market transactions, and the silicon price continues to decline. In addition, this week is the Spring Festival. Since last week, various industries have entered the holiday in succession. Downstream transactions tend to be flat, and the industrial silicon market is mainly closed. Therefore, under the situation that market transactions tend to stagnate, some factories and traders sell industrial silicon at reduced prices in order to withdraw funds before the festival, and the metal silicon market is affected by this and operates weakly and stably.
