1.The price of raw materials necessary for the production of ferrosilicon.
Because ferrosilicon is processed and synthesised from silicon, iron and coke as raw materials for ferroalloys, its price is naturally affected by the price of iron, silicon, coke and other raw materials. So the production of ferrosilicon raw material prices fluctuate up and down will affect the price of ferrosilicon up and down.
2. Ferrosilicon production.
Ferrosilicon production also has a certain impact on the price of ferrosilicon, determines the supply of ferrosilicon on the market, when production is greater than the market demand, the price of ferrosilicon will fall; when production is less than the market demand, the price of ferrosilicon will rise.
3. Import and export volume.
Ferrosilicon import and export volume of how much, will also affect the price of ferrosilicon high and low.
4. Electricity price factor.
Each production of 1 tonne of ferrosilicon to consume about 9,000 degrees of electricity, and the production of ferrosilicon ninety per cent is also the cost of electricity, electricity prices fluctuate up and down one point per tonne of ferrosilicon cost fluctuations of 100 yuan or so, so China's various regions of the difference in electricity costs and the fluctuation of electricity costs will have a direct impact on the price of ferrosilicon changes.
5. National policies.
A series of related policies introduced by the state will also affect the price of ferrosilicon, such as environmental protection policies, ferrosilicon import and export tariffs.
