[SMM Analysis] Southeast Asian aluminum scrap stops falling and rebounds, ADC12 remains under pressure, market watches latest progress of Section 232 policy.

This week, the Southeast Asian aluminum scrap market stopped falling and rebounded, with prices of major aluminum scrap varieties in Malaysia and Thailand all recording increases. The ADC12 market, however, remained under pressure due to the slow recovery of end-use demand. The SMM survey learned that although LME aluminum prices pulled back somewhat, tight aluminum scrap supply supported firm offer prices. Market transactions improved slightly compared with the earlier period, but overall remained dominated by just-in-time procurement. Meanwhile, the latest developments of the US Section 232 policy became the focus of attention for clients outside China, with market attention gradually shifting from price fluctuations to changes in policies and the trade environment.
