“Although the latest slump of the #polysilicon #price is pretty heavy (concurrently with that of #wafers), it will likely come to a halt in the second half of January when customers replenish their inventories ahead of the Chinese New Year holidays.
 
After that, we could even see a short-term price rebound if #demand grows more rapidly than #supply in the first half of 2023.”
