[SMM Aluminum Alloy Daily Review] Driven by the rebound in futures, the secondary aluminum alloy market saw quoted prices edge up today, with mainstream increases of 100 yuan/mt. Some enterprises raised prices accordingly to recover earlier losses, and market sentiment improved slightly from the previous period. However, transactions remained weak, with downstream buyers mainly purchasing as needed and showing limited acceptance of high prices, constraining upside room for prices. In the short term, ADC12 prices were expected to fluctuate rangebound, and further gains would still require substantive improvement on the demand side.
