(bearish) 2) the recent aluminum price inner plate is stronger than the outer plate, according to the SMM import and export break-even table calculation, there is profit room for imports. However, in view of the fact that in the actual import process, the shipping time is delayed from two weeks to a month, and there is uncertainty about the change of aluminum price in the later stage, and the current shipping is blocked due to the impact of the epidemic, in fact, there is no significant import of aluminum ingots. (neutral) 3) because the processing fee of aluminum bar in Guangdong has risen to more than 1000 yuan in the early stage, which is obviously higher than that in Shandong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai and other places, more aluminum bars in China have flowed to Guangdong, and the local processing fee has now dropped to 650750 yuan / ton.

The actual closing situation is not early enough. Downstream on-demand procurement yesterday, due to rising aluminum prices and higher water, for the time being did not show a positive willingness to stock. Summary: at present, the domestic epidemic situation is basically under control, the macro atmosphere has improved, and the arrival and supply of aluminum ingots on the supply and demand side have decreased in the short term. Under the background of gradual improvement in terminal consumption, the demand for goods in advance of May Day has surged. It is expected that spot and futures aluminum prices will remain strong and fluctuate before the festival, and the scope for decline will be limited. Pay attention to the possible collection and storage related news in other provinces in the later stage.
