Shares in Chinese manufacturers of polysilicon, a key material in solar components, extended a sharp rally on expectations the government will move to curb production to tackle a massive glut.

The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology may publish rules to limit polysilicon manufacturers’ energy consumption, Daiwa Capital Markets said in a note on Wednesday, without citing specific sources for the information. The ministry couldn’t be reached for comment.
