I. Market Conditions: Post-holiday stabilization with slight recovery in futures.
Recent market performance indicates that the price trend for metallurgical-grade silicon has remained largely stable. According to monitoring data from industry-specific websites, as of February 25, metallurgical-grade silicon prices continued to hold steady. Following the holiday period, prices showed no significant fluctuations for consecutive days, though futures prices experienced a series of minor upward swings. Analysts suggest that while the recovery in futures sentiment has boosted market confidence, its impact on the spot market remains limited for now. The overall market continues to be characterized by a tug-of-war between weak supply and weak demand.
