Today, aluminum prices extended their decline, and premiums in central China remained in positive territory. Traders' willingness to purchase and stockpile fell from the previous two days. Although downstream processing enterprises showed some willingness to buy the dip, they still did not make large-scale concentrated purchases, and overall market purchase sentiment weakened. In the end, actual quotes and transaction prices in the central China market fell all the way, from a 50-yuan premium over the central China price before the opening to around parity with the central China price, while suppliers showed no clear willingness to hold prices firm. Today, the central China market shipments sentiment index was 2.63, up 0.01 MoM; the buying sentiment index was 2.48, down 0.03 MoM.
