Market Overview: Last week, DMC prices remained stable. The overall price of silicon metal remains stable, while the price of methanol has slightly decreased. There is no significant change in the cost of self-produced chloromethane manufacturers. The price of chloromethane has risen, and the cost pressure on external manufacturers has increased. The news of the production reduction of leading metal silicon has strengthened the upward sentiment of individual factories, weakened the bearish mentality of downstream, and shifted the focus of low-level transactions upward. The current mainstream DMC quotation is 12500-13500 yuan/ton. Last week, the price of DMC raw materials remained stable, but cost support was still weak. The prices of 107 rubber and mixed rubber fell, and the price of raw rubber fell locally. The overall price of silicone oil remained stable. The price of DMC raw materials is stable and improving, and there may be an increase in downstream stocking. It is expected that the silicone market will remain stable with small movements in the short term.
Market Overview: Last week, the Chinese gas-phase silica market operated weakly and steadily, with some companies slightly lowering their quotes. Affected by high monomer production, the supply of methyl trichlorosilane is sufficient, the weekly average price has decreased, and the price of silicon tetrachloride has remained stable. Last week, silicon gas companies operated smoothly with abundant market supply. Downstream enterprises such as room temperature rubber and mixed rubber maintain a strong demand for procurement and stable transactions. In the short term, the prices of methyl chloride and tetrachlorohydrin are consolidating narrowly, and the raw material side has limited support for the gas silicon market. Downstream demand is mainly stable, and it is expected that the gas silicon market will maintain stable operation.
