China’s firmer domestic market drives up silicon export price

摘要

Chinese silicon exporters raised offer prices in the week to Friday August 21 because of the unavailability of cheap material from domestic producers given tight spot supply, but overseas consumers have found higher prices almost impossible to accept, Fastmarkets learned. Fastmarkets’ weekly price assessment for silicon export 98.5% Si min, fob China was $1,420-1,480 per tonne on Friday, up by $15 or 1% from $1,420-1,450 per tonne a week earlier. Most sellers made offers above the assessed range while reporting very limited deals concluded within the range.
