(Beijing Daily)Wafer factory "bargains for orders"? Insiders: It's not so exaggerated that there is no need for drastic price reduction at present. Recently, some industry media reported that the Chinese mainland wafer foundry has overflowed its capacity and is striving for more IC design factory orders to return at a low price discount. A manager of Chinese mainland Head Wafer Factory told reporters that the actual situation was "not as serious as reported by the media, and not so exaggerated". The source said that since the fourth quarter of this year, the quotation of its wafer factory has been "stable at present". In the fourth quarter, product orders from display drivers, power management and other categories were "not bad", and the market demand was similar to that previously publicly disclosed. The independent control of the mainland market is still the main theme. It is understood that the fourth quarter is usually the "off-season" of the wafer foundry industry, and downstream customers will review the sales plan at the beginning of the year, and they are not willing to stock up and receive goods. A person from a consumer chip company in Chinese mainland said, "Fab factories generally adjust prices according to market supply and demand." Yang Shengxin, a senior analyst of Sigmaintell's semiconductor business unit, said in an interview that according to the observation of Sigma Intell, Chinese mainland's wafer factory decreased by about 5% in the fourth quarter of 2024, and concentrated on 12-inch products; The price of China Taiwan Province Wafer Factory has not changed significantly. (science and technology innovation board Daily)Antaike: The global nickel industry surplus is expected to narrow, and the nickel price may decline. The Antaike report shows that the nickel price will rise and fall in the first half of 2024, because the supporting cost below is still there. After the price reached a staged low in late July, the whole price showed a pattern of bottoming out and falling resistance, and the upward and downward momentum was not strong. Returning to the fundamentals itself, oversupply and the staged improvement of downstream consumption have limited room for price rise. On the whole, the price of nickel basically fluctuated within a narrow range this year. The highest nickel in Shanghai was 160,000, and the lowest was 119,000, mainly in the range of 120,000-140,000. Looking forward to the next year, it is expected that the upward and downward momentum of nickel price is not strong, and the main contradiction is still on the supply side. In 2025, it is expected that the price difference between products and inside and outside will further converge, and the price center of gravity will move down. It is expected that the nickel will be in the range of 14,500-18,500 US dollars/ton; The range of Shanghai nickel is 120,000-170,000 yuan/ton.
