Aluminum Sheet and Strip Industry Stabilizes, But High Prices and Future Uncertainties Loom

Publicado: Oct 12, 2024 17:33
According to SMM research and statistics, the operating rate of leading aluminum sheet and strip enterprises this week stabilized at 72.8%. Although aluminum prices continued to rise this week, the boost to the enthusiasm of downstream customers to pick up goods was no longer significant. Some sheet and strip enterprises reported that high aluminum prices had led to some downstream hesitation and indecisiveness in placing orders. Some regions in Henan Province this week faced environmental inspections, but they have not yet caused any disruptions to local aluminum sheet and strip enterprises. However, if environmental protection issues become more severe in the future, or if downstream demand weakens subsequently, the aluminum sheet and strip industry may start transitioning to the off-season ahead of schedule, with corporate order volumes and operating rates potentially weakening as a result.
