Global silicone network on October 18: according to the official media, stabilizing prices is an important goal of macro-control, and measures will continue to be taken to prevent the rise of commodity prices from transmitting to the downstream of the supply chain. The rising price of silicone raw materials began to cool down recently.


In August and September this year, the price of silicone rose sharply, and the transaction price of DMC once exceeded 64500 yuan / ton. The sharp rise of basic raw materials reflects the sharp increase of costs in the middle and lower reaches of the industrial chain, which brings great pressure to terminal enterprises. Since the national day, the price of silicone has become loose across the board.


According to the latest market freight index, at the close of yesterday afternoon, the lowest transaction price of DMC fell to 59.8 yuan / kg. The industry said that the recent decline in silicone prices was mainly due to the readjustment of the relationship between supply and demand. In the early stage, the situation of "one product is difficult to find" has improved, and the silicone price with continuous "high fever" naturally falls down with the decline of demand.


There are also different experts who believe that the price reduction is only a short-term impact. It is difficult to say the inflection point of the current price trend. It is expected that the silicone price may still operate at a high level. From a fundamental point of view, with the approaching of overseas Christmas holiday and the continuous economic repair of developed countries and regions such as Europe and the United States, the demand side of major silicone products at home and abroad is still resilient, and the future silicone price remains to be seen. Among them, the short-term influencing factors include the implementation strength and duration of the domestic power and production restriction policy and the global energy crisis. The former mainly affects the production capacity of domestic export enterprises, while the latter affects the global supply capacity; In the long run, if the global epidemic continues to ferment, the high price of silicone may remain for some time.
