In terms of aluminum, the International Aluminum Association recently released on its website the Evaluation report on the amount of Aluminum used in China's Automobile Industry (2016-2030), which it commissioned by CM Consulting Company. The report introduces the results of the comprehensive evaluation of aluminum used in China's automotive industry by CM Consulting, including passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles (passenger cars and trucks), special vehicles, two-wheeled vehicles and tricycles. The report argues that between now and 2030, China's auto industry is likely to undergo a huge shift from fuel-fueled vehicles to new energy vehicles. Aluminum, the preferred material for Chinese carmakers to reduce vehicle weight, has made good use of the shift. While the outlook for the number of fuel vehicles remains unchanged, weight loss measures are likely to boost consumption by increasing the unit use of aluminium in vehicle manufacturing. "the amount of aluminum used in cars in China will increase from 3.8 million tons in 2018 to 9.1 million tons in 2030.

On the crude oil side, crude oil continued to rise in the last period of the morning. Turkish armed forces launched a military operation against PKK and other forces in northern Syria yesterday, and Syrian media said Hasek province in northeastern Syria had been shelled by Turkish forces. Although neither country is an important oil producer, there are concerns that geopolitical tensions in the region will affect the safety of oil production and transport in oil-producing countries such as Iraq. On the supply and demand level, EIA inventory data are mixed. On the one hand, the continuous four-week growth of US crude oil stocks has depressed the market atmosphere; on the other hand, the demand for gasoline and distillates in the United States has increased, and refined oil stocks have decreased to a certain extent, easing the pressure to a certain extent. To sum up, crude oil has been supported in the short term under the influence of several geopolitical events, but the upper pressure is still high, focusing on the recent trade negotiations.
