Digitimes Research: Solar spot prices in Greater China freeze before final verdict of anti-dumping and anti-subsidy investigation
Jackie Chang, DIGITIMES, Taipei [Friday 11 May 2012]

Spot prices of solar products in Greater China remained flat this week (May 7-11). Stable demand and clear order visibility have been helping solar firms maintain high capacity utilization rates. Nevertheless, solar product prices in Greater China continued to be low.

A final verdict on the anti-dumping and anti-subsidy investigation by the US government against China-based solar firms will be announced on May 17. The magnitude of possible tariffs imposed on China-made solar products may cause fluctuations in solar spot prices in Greater China.
