Spot: yesterday morning, the trading price of Wuxi market in Shanghai was between 13840 yuan and 13850 yuan / ton, and the price fell by 40 yuan / ton in the afternoon compared with yesterday. The position of flat water to rise 10 yuan / ton was maintained on the plate surface. Yesterday, a large household still did not have a purchase notice on the wire. At the same time, from the point of view of the change of the month, the aluminum price was hung upside down and the rising water state remained unchanged. The holder was very active in shipping, and some middlemen tried to replenish the goods at a low price. Although the two sides inquire and quote actively, but the actual transaction is general. Conclusion: in the context of low alumina prices and weakening consumption, aluminum prices are relatively weak, paying attention to the progress of Sino-US relations in the short term and the accelerated storage forecast in the middle of the second consumption season.
