Today, aluminum prices were basically flat, down 10 yuan / ton to 12970 yuan / ton. Domestic recycled aluminum enterprises are stable in their quotations, but according to downstream feedback, consumption has not improved since May, and the acceptance of the price rise of aluminum alloy ingots caused by the rise in aluminum prices is low, and the rise of ADC12 prices is relatively weak. In terms of domestic prices, the quotation of mainstream large recycled aluminum enterprises is stable, concentrated in 13200 yuan / ton, and the quotation of imported waste aluminum enterprises is still below 13000 yuan / ton. In terms of small and medium-sized factories, although the quotation of a recycled aluminum factory in Jiangxi is flat, due to poor demand and the impact of imported aluminum alloy ingots, the psychological expectations of buyers and sellers for prices have increased. At present, the transaction price is concentrated between 13000 yuan and 13200 yuan / ton, and the transaction at the low price end has been reduced. On the other hand, due to the decrease in the arrival of imported aluminum alloy ingots in May and the rise of overseas quotations, the transaction price of spot imported ADC12 aluminum alloy ingots rose to 12600 yuan / ton.
