Summary: From the macro perspective, the Fed's interest rate hike slowdown has been basically digested by the market, and the future pace of the Fed's interest rate hike remains to be seen. Fundamentally, domestic aluminum supply is still high, and demand is still sluggish. The high temperature weather in the Southwest has caused market concerns about the power supply in the Southwest. In addition, the cost of aluminum has also rebounded driven by alumina, which has brought some support to aluminum prices. SMM believes that the short-termSHFE aluminum may mainly fluctuate within a narrow range.
