ADC12 Market Prices Stable at 24,500 Yuan/mt; Tax Invoice Policies Impact Supply and Costs
[SMM Aluminum Alloy Flash] ADC12 market prices remained generally stable today, with SMM ADC12 prices holding steady at 24,500 yuan/mt from the previous trading day. Raw material prices saw limited fluctuations overall today, but as tax invoice policies are being enforced more strictly across multiple regions, enterprises face higher compliance requirements in procurement. The supply of invoiced aluminum scrap is relatively tight, keeping enterprises' comprehensive raw material procurement costs at elevated levels, with limited downside in the short term. Future price trends will require close attention to the progress of tax invoice policy implementation, changes in aluminum scrap supply, and downstream stockpiling ahead of the dual holidays.
