Spot aspect: the transaction of the holder is concentrated on the vicinity of 80 yuan / ton in the same month. Summary: the inventory of electrolytic aluminum in domestic social warehouses recorded a small decline yesterday, and the overall consumption of electrolytic aluminum is OK, especially in Guangdong. With the recovery of overseas economy, the import demand of electrolytic aluminum has recovered somewhat, but the possibility of extreme epidemic prevention measures taken by the United States cannot be ruled out. At present, the price of electrolytic aluminum is still supported by fundamentals, and it is expected that the price of electrolytic aluminum will fluctuate strongly at a high level in the short term. We still need to pay attention to the impact of the weakening of new orders on the downstream demand side on the price of electrolytic aluminum in the future.
