Overnight, LME aluminum and SHFE aluminum edged up slightly; aluminum prices remained under pressure at elevated levels in the short term [SMM Aluminum Morning Meeting Summary]

[Geopolitical Risks Compound Interest Rate Cut Expectations, Intensifying the Tug-of-War Between Longs and Shorts in the Aluminum Market] Continued destocking of LME inventory has provided bottom support for LME aluminum, but tightening funding liquidity and profit-taking by bulls have limited upward momentum, and the backwardation structure has somewhat weakened. China’s social inventory has risen to a high for the same period in nearly five years, and the inventory buildup cycle has yet to end. High inventory and weak spot fundamentals are jointly suppressing upward momentum. Divergence between domestic and overseas drivers continues, the SHFE/LME price ratio keeps weakening, and the market is expected to remain under pressure in the short term.

Aluminum Prices Stabilized but Failed to Change Wait-and-See Sentiment, Short-Term Fluctuations to Continue [SMM Cast Aluminum Alloy Morning Comment]

[SMM Cast Aluminum Alloy Morning Comment: Aluminum Prices Halted Their Decline, but Wait-and-See Sentiment Remained Unchanged; Rangebound Movement May Continue in the Short Term] Spot market, yesterday the overall ADC12 market continued to hold prices steady.

Against the backdrop of easing cost-side fluctuations and insufficient demand support, ADC12 prices may continue to fluctuate within a range and remain relatively stable in the short term, with relatively limited momentum for price adjustments. Further attention should still be paid to aluminum price trends and the recovery of end-use demand.
