Key Views
Polysilicon dynamics dominate focus: Trump announced additional tariffs on polysilicon and derivative products; the State Administration for Market Regulation issued price compliance guidance to the photovoltaic industry; and eight major polysilicon producers pledged to sell at no less than cost. Yet fundamentals diverge—August downstream production schedules show no clear increase and inventories are not materially declining (factory inventory 289,000 t, up 6,000 t; warehouse receipts 22,020).
Outlook
Industrial silicon should trade range-bound pending a downstream peak-season recovery; polysilicon faces high volatility amid verify-or-disprove news flow, and caution is advised. Watchpoints: August end-user output, substantive destocking, and confirmation or refutation of tariff and price-guidance news. Delivery-rule changes: the industrial silicon #421 substitute-delivery premium was cut from RMB 2,000/t to RMB 800/t, while the polysilicon substitute premium is RMB 2,000/t.
