SMM April 17 News: Today, prices of some specifications of silicon in east China continued to decline. Above-standard #553 silicon was at 9,800-10,000 yuan/mt, down 50 yuan/mt from the previous day, while 441 silicon was at 10,200-10,400 yuan/mt, unchanged from the previous day. In the past two days, the main futures contract 2505 continued its downward trend, with the low price falling below 9,000 yuan/mt. Traders mostly purchased spot cargoes, and silicon companies' quotations were basically stable, making transactions difficult. If calculated based on the futures prices, most silicon companies are in a loss-making state, and the long-term low prices are expected to further reduce the operating rate on the supply side. 》Order to view SMM metal spot historical prices
