[SMM Aluminum Morning Meeting Summary: US Cancels 50% Tariffs on Canadian Steel and Aluminum, Overnight Aluminum Futures Rebounded]
Macro perspective, the US tariff policies on major trading partners have caused global market volatility and heightened concerns over economic growth. The US dollar index hit its lowest level since mid-October last year. The market will focus on the US Consumer Price Index on Wednesday and the Producer Price Index on Thursday. Traders currently expect the US Fed to cut interest rates in June.

Fundamentals side, domestic aluminum production resumption continues to advance. During the week, aluminum ingot social inventory maintained its destocking trend, making the destocking turning point increasingly clear. Coupled with the continuous rebound in operating rates of aluminum processing enterprises during the peak season, end-use consumption support has strengthened.

Overall, the macro level shows a tug-of-war between longs and shorts. Domestically, steady growth policies maintain a positive tone, while overseas trade barriers escalate market risk-aversion sentiment. On the fundamentals side, supply and demand are both increasing, with downstream operating rates rising driven by order recovery across multiple sectors. Combined with the ongoing destocking of social inventory, this provides support for aluminum prices. In the short term, aluminum prices are expected to hover at highs, with attention on the key resistance level of 21,000 yuan/mt.

Key focus ahead includes the evolution of tariff policies, US inflation data, and the pace of recovery in end-use consumption.
