ADC12 Market Prices Stable at 24,500 Yuan/mt; Tax Invoice Policies Impact Supply and Costs

Published: Sep 21, 2026 13:49
[SMM Aluminum Alloy Flash] ADC12 market prices remained generally stable today, with SMM ADC12 prices holding steady at 24,500 yuan/mt from the previous trading day. Raw material prices saw limited fluctuations overall today, but as tax invoice policies are being enforced more strictly across multiple regions, enterprises face higher compliance requirements in procurement. The supply of invoiced aluminum scrap is relatively tight, keeping enterprises' comprehensive raw material procurement costs at elevated levels, with limited downside in the short term. Future price trends will require close attention to the progress of tax invoice policy implementation, changes in aluminum scrap supply, and downstream stockpiling ahead of the dual holidays.

SHFE Aluminum Futures Sideways, Central China Market Sluggish Amid Low Restocking Interest
Today, SHFE aluminum futures moved sideways with adjustments, while trading sentiment in the central China market remained sluggish. At the start of the week, downstream processing enterprises showed limited willingness to restock, having already made substantial purchases at previously low prices, which drove current market quotes lower. Additionally, with the holiday approaching, suppliers tended to reduce inventory and showed little inclination to hold prices firm, with only some major players maintaining high premiums. Ultimately, actual transaction prices in the central China market were around a discount of 70-100 yuan/mt against the SHFE aluminum October contract.
