The price of big bars remained around 400 yuan / ton, while the price of small bars fell to 650 yuan / ton, while the price of motor transportation fell to 600 million yuan / ton.

Middlemen tend to receive goods at a low price, while small traders have little turnover between buyers and sellers, resulting in a stalemate. Downstream on-demand procurement, due to the aluminum base price rose for several days, the downstream wait-and-see attitude gradually, fear of heights is obvious, the receiving volume is not much. The overall transaction in East China is mediocre.

Summary: from a macro point of view, economic activities in some overseas areas have been restarted one after another, the domestic macro atmosphere has also continued to warm up, and the global trading atmosphere has eased somewhat; at home, the fundamentals continue to go to the warehouse to form a strong support for Shanghai aluminum. It is expected that Shanghai aluminum will still be dominated by strong shocks in the short term, and the price difference will remain strong the next month. Continuous attention should be paid to the recent downstream consumption and the marginal changes of internal and external strength.
