In domestic market, the prices of metallurgical silicon metal 5-5-3 increased evidently in the 1st half of July, and they drove the prices of higher grade silicon metal to go up relatively slowly
. The pandemic of COVID-19 in Xinjiang stimulated producers' confidence to lift the prices, but the market saw fewer deals . For chemical grade silicon metal, because of transportation restriction in Xinjiang, the spot stocks became less sufficient soon. Therefore, producers in Southern China lifted the prices by over RMB500/t (USD70/t), and some downstream consumers accepted the prices . In export market, the export prices increased massive due to increased purchase cost, but the market didn't become active as expected.
