[SMM afternoon Review] Huadong Aluminum: fear of height in the lower reaches obviously does not receive much goods. The overall transaction in East China is mediocre today.

SMM5 March 28:

In the early afternoon, the aluminum shock mainly fluctuated in a narrow range after the upstream. The spot price in Wuxi area of Shanghai is between 13440 and 13460 yuan per ton, and the price of rising water is between 120 yuan and 120 yuan per ton, which is 100 yuan higher than that of yesterday, and the spot price in Hangzhou area is between 13460 and 13470 yuan per ton. Today, large households are relatively active in receiving goods, and the quotation is in line with the market psychological price, and the holders are active in shipping to them. after the end of the purchase, the heat of the market transaction decreases, the holders continue to ship but at a higher price, and the middlemen tend to receive the goods at a low price. small traders seldom have much trading volume between buyers and sellers, resulting in a stalemate. Today, the downstream is mainly purchasing on demand, as the aluminum base price has risen for several days, the downstream wait-and-see attitude is gradually rising, fear of heights is obvious, and the receiving volume is not much. The overall transaction in East China is mediocre today.

Rio Tinto Secures Bell Bay Smelter Operations Through End-2031
Rio Tinto announced on October 1 that it had reached agreements with the Tasmanian Government, the Australian Commonwealth Government and Hydro Tasmania to extend electricity supply to the Bell Bay aluminium smelter through the end of 2031. The two governments will also provide a combined A$200 million support package over five years, contributing A$100 million each. Commercial terms of the power agreement were not disclosed. Bell Bay produces around 190,000 tonnes of primary aluminium annually, while its existing electricity contract was due to expire at the end of 2026. The agreement removes the smelter’s immediate operational uncertainty. Bell Bay is the third major Australian aluminium smelter to receive government-backed support in 2026, following Boyne and Tomago, highlighting continued pressure from high electricity costs and international competition.
