SMM alumina morning comments: Shanxi initiates level III emergency response for major meteorological disasters, following up on the impact of heavy snow on goods transportation. On Wednesday, sporadic flat water transactions were seen in the spot market in the northern region, and the SMM alumina price index remained at 3354 yuan/ton. According to research, the recent rainfall and snowfall in the Shanxi and Henan regions have affected road transportation capacity from Shanxi to Xinjiang, resulting in increased freight rates. Upstream and downstream businesses are mainly focused on ensuring long-term supply, leading to sluggish spot transactions. Overall, the domestic alumina supply and demand pattern has not changed significantly before the holiday. SMM expects short-term domestic spot prices to mainly fluctuate within a narrow range, and further attention should be given to the expectations of alumina production resumption in Shanxi and Henan regions and the recent import situation of alumina. In terms of futures, alumina futures rebounded yesterday, closing up 2.48% during the day session. Considering that the resumption of alumina production by enterprises after the holiday is less than expected and the tight supply in the spot market, the fundamental factors provide some support to the market. Therefore, short-term volatility adjustment is expected to continue until there is no significant change in the fundamental factors.
