Lun Aluminum closed at a small shade line near the cross, slightly down $0.50 / ton to close at $1804.5 / ton.

Macro: (1) the eurozone July Sentix investor confidence index is-5.8, the previous value is-3.3, and the expected value is 0.1, the lowest level since November 2014, mainly due to market investors' concerns about trade frictions between the European Union and the United States; (2) China's foreign exchange reserves in June 3.11923 trillion, up 0.6% from the previous month; and (3) the scale of China's social finance for June will be announced today.

Fundamentals: cost side, SMM Australian alumina FOB price continued to drop 1 US dollars / ton, the domestic quotation is stable than last Friday, but the actual transaction in the north has been in 2600 to 2650 yuan / ton; Inventory, Monday SMM statistics domestic electrolytic aluminum social inventory of 1.022 million tons, down 6000 tons from last Thursday, the decline is significantly narrowed, mainly reflected in Shanghai, Wuxi, Gongyi region, Tianjin, Chongqing, Linyi inventory increased compared with last Thursday, do not rule out the possibility of July-August phased accumulation.

Summary: the range of domestic electrolytic aluminum storage has narrowed, the consumption off-season has arrived, July-August may be phased accumulation, we maintain the previous point of view, the previous aluminum prices unilateral weakness, but extrapolated to the September consumption season brought about by the accelerated storage market, you can try in 13500 to 13800 yuan / ton waiting for a single layout.
