Silicon sales fail to pick up despite improved downstream consumption

‍‍Sales in the silicon metal market failed to pick up even as its downstream consumer, the organosilicon sector, began its high season.

While organosilicon monomer producers operated in high gear and maintained stable shipments, they remained cautious about purchasing silicon metal as they stockpiled before the dry season.

On Monday March 18th, prices of silicon metal changed little from the previous day. 553# products which undertook oxygen-refining traded at 11,600 CNY/MT at Tianjin port while 441# products traded at 12,200 CNY/MT.
