Domestic ADC12 Market Stable, SMM Price Unchanged at 23,850 Yuan/mt Amid Bearish Sentiment Easing

Published: Jun 26, 2026 13:26
[SMM Aluminum Alloy Daily Review] Domestic ADC12 market saw stable operation today, with the SMM ADC12 price unchanged from the previous day at 23,850 yuan/mt. The bearish sentiment caused by the steady decline earlier eased, and the market entered a phase of wait-and-see. Demand side, orders at downstream die-casting enterprises remained insufficient, with off-season features persisting, which to some extent constrained price rises. Cost side, procurement of compliant aluminum scrap remained challenging, tax invoice and raw material costs stayed high, squeezing profit margins at secondary aluminum enterprises but providing strong bottom support for ADC12 prices.

Coal Tar Pitch Market Sees Stagnant Prices, Supply Increase Amid Downstream Hesitation
[SMM Aluminum Brief] In the coal tar pitch market, coal tar raw material prices were stagnant. Deep-processing operating rates rose slightly, leading to a modest increase in supply. Downstream anode enterprises purchased on a just-in-time basis and pushed for lower prices while adopting a wait-and-see stance, intensifying the supply-demand tug-of-war. Next week, the market is expected to continue its weak consolidation: raw material prices will see no significant fluctuations, downstream players are unlikely to restock in a concentrated manner, and prices lack upward momentum, with a high probability of a slight decline.
