Improved consumption further lowers aluminium inventories

[SMM Aluminum Alloy Daily Review] Today, the ADC12 aluminum alloy spot market fluctuated downward, with mainstream enterprises generally lowering quotes by 200-300 yuan/mt, and the market showed strong follow-the-decline sentiment. On one hand, futures pulled back sharply, exerting strong downward pressure on the spot market, prompting enterprises to actively lower their quotes; on the other hand, sustained weakness in downstream consumption further undermined market confidence. In the short term, ADC12 prices still face certain downward pressure, and the market continues to remain in the doldrums.
