[SMM Aluminum Daily Review] Today, ADC12 market quotations were generally stable. The SMM ADC12 price was unchanged from the previous trading day at 23,900 yuan/mt. Currently, end-use demand did not show significant improvement, and price increases still lacked sufficient transaction support. Meanwhile, the cost side still provided some support, limiting the room for further price declines. The market was in a state of difficulty moving up or down, with a strong wait-and-see sentiment. In the short term, ADC12 prices were expected to maintain a narrow sideways consolidation pattern. Going forward, the focus will be on changes in the cost side and improvement in end-use demand.
