Spot: a small amount of spot prices in Wuxi, Shanghai, were between 13490 and 13510 yuan / ton on Thursday morning, with more inquiries and receivers in the morning, but the actual transaction was less, because the market performance was more and less.

In the case of the expansion of aluminum futures back structure, the spot water continued to rise. The market middleman's enthusiasm for receiving goods has not diminished, the holder's performance is high, and the market transaction is very active. Due to the sharp rise in aluminum prices, the mood of receiving goods downstream has been frustrated and there is not much to buy. Around 200 yuan / ton of spot water this morning, the liquidity adequacy of aluminum ingots rebounded due to the increase in shipments from some aluminum plants and the import of some aluminum ingots.
Conclusion: the two sessions of the whole country will be held this week, and the macro expectations are expected to give a boost to non-ferrous materials, and the continued removal of fundamentals will also support Shanghai Aluminum. It is difficult for Shanghai Aluminum to narrow rapidly in the first week after the change of the month, and it is expected that Shanghai Aluminum will still be dominated by strong shocks in the short term. Need to continue to pay attention to the release of macro signals.
