CHINA SILICON SNAPSHOT: Export price flat amid slow overseas demand

摘要

Key data from the Friday July 3 pricing session in Shanghai. - Export price stable with offers falling within the published range. - Market participants received sporadic inquiries from overseas buyers and noticed big discrepancies between the prices they offered and levels that consumers bid at. - Domestic price for grade-553 silicon inched down due to weak demand from the downstream aluminium alloy industry. But some sources told Fastmarkets that demand from the organosilicon industry was firm enough to prevent the silicon price from declining sharply.
