[SMM Morning Comment on Alumina: Overseas Alumina Transactions Hit New Highs, Domestic Market Fluctuates at High Levels] Fundamentally, the weekly operating rate of alumina remained largely stable, and the operating capacity of aluminum also showed no significant changes for the time being. Both alumina supply and demand were largely stable this week. However, according to an SMM survey, some aluminum plants in south-west China are expected to undergo maintenance in the coming months, which may slightly reduce alumina demand and ease the tight spot supply situation. Overall, alumina inventory at aluminum plants in north-west China has not yet reached the levels of previous years' winter stockpiling, indicating that stocking demand may persist. However, spot alumina prices remain high, and downstream sentiment is also significantly affected by high prices. In the short term, spot prices are entering a phase of high-level fluctuations. Moving forward, it is necessary to continuously monitor the profitability of aluminum plants and the scheduling of maintenance plans.
