SMM ADC12 Price Drops to 24,100 Yuan/mt Amid Weak Aluminum Market and Tight Scrap Supply

[SMM Aluminum Alloy Daily Review] The SMM ADC12 average price was reported at 24,100 yuan/mt today, down 100 yuan/mt from the previous trading day. During the day, both aluminum futures and aluminum prices weakened, dragging on the ADC12 price to some extent. However, structural issues such as tight tax invoices and difficulties in purchasing compliant aluminum scrap have not eased, keeping enterprises' production costs under continuous pressure and providing some support to spot ADC12 prices. Overall, the current ADC12 market presents a pattern of "strong cost support, weak demand follow-up". In the short term, the downside room for prices is limited, but there is also a lack of sufficient driving force for an upward breakout. Prices are expected to move sideways.
