On Wednesday, the silicone market once again saw new changes. According to market monitoring, some individual factories in Shandong raised the price of DMC by 300 yuan/ton yesterday, bringing the quoted price of DMC to 13500 yuan/ton. This price adjustment not only reflects the cost pressure of individual factories, but also indicates that the silicone market is about to usher in new fluctuations.
Under the influence of the single plant production reduction strategy, DMC's output significantly decreased last week. This production reduction measure not only affects the supply capacity of individual factories, but also makes the spot supply on the supply side more tight. At present, devices in multiple regions are operating at reduced loads, resulting in significant changes in the supply pattern of the market.

Faced with a market situation where supply exceeds demand, midstream and downstream enterprises have shown a certain degree of caution when accepting high priced orders. However, with the gradual digestion of low-priced raw materials in the previous round, the order volume began to steadily increase. Meanwhile, due to tight supply, the market is expected to once again stimulate the drive to chase after price increases and stock up. Individual factories strictly control supply and adjust pricing strategies in a timely manner based on market conditions and downstream orders to maintain market supply-demand balance.
At the same time, the raw rubber market is also showing an upward trend. Against the backdrop of reduced production in upstream monomer units, the raw rubber unit has also implemented corresponding reduction layouts. The stable growth of terminal silicon product orders provides strong support for the raw rubber market. This has led to an overall increase in the price level of the raw rubber market, forming a parallel trend with the DMC market.
In the current supply-demand game, individual factories still have the upper hand. Due to tight supply, DMC prices are expected to remain stable in the short term. The raw rubber market is driven by leading enterprises, and the overall price level continues to rise. This brings more opportunities and challenges to market participants. At the same time, it is also necessary to closely monitor market dynamics and changes in supply and demand in order to develop reasonable market strategies.
