SHANGHAI, Nov.1 (SMM)-Since September many aluminium enterprises have raised operative capacity based on optimistic anticipation on upcoming peak season of end consumption. While purchase volume of die-casting enterprises is not desirable despite peak season, with increasing inventories of some aluminium alloy companies. In order to guarantee circulating fund turnover, some aluminium alloy enterprises say they will mainly consume raw materials inventories and will not purchase a large amount of raw silicon.

SHFE Aluminum Prices Decline, Casting Alloy Resilience Narrows Futures Spread
[SMM Aluminum News Flash] Recently, SHFE aluminum prices have accelerated their decline, and casting aluminum alloy futures have also weakened. However, supported by factors such as tight aluminum scrap supply, tax invoice constraints and high costs, casting aluminum alloy prices have shown strong resilience, clearly outperforming primary aluminum in downside resistance. As a result, the price spread between the AL and AD futures has continued to narrow, hitting a new low since the contracts were listed. In the spot market, the positive price spread of ADC12 over A00 aluminum has widened in tandem.

ADC12 Prices Decline Amid Futures Weakness, Cost Support Limits Drop
[SMM Aluminum Alloy Daily Review] Today, ADC12 market quotes continued to decline overall. SMM ADC12 price fell by 150 yuan/mt from the previous day to 23,800 yuan/mt. SHFE aluminum and cast aluminum alloy futures weakened, putting pressure on spot quotes, and enterprises followed suit. At the same time, the decline in aluminum scrap procurement costs was relatively limited. Coupled with tight tax invoices and persistently tight spot supply, cost support remained in place, and sentiment of holding back from selling at low prices was evident. Overall, although current ADC12 prices pulled back under the drag from futures, cost support and tight spot supply limited the decline.
