[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.
