Summary: Shanghai aluminum prices have risen as a whole, and the Shanghai aluminum market has fluctuated greatly in the past two days. SMM believes that the main reasons are 3.1, the current capital market liquidity is active, macro sentiment is high. 2. fundamental electrolytic aluminum social inventory is at a low level and tight spot supply leads to strong support for aluminum prices, which continues the spot-driven futures logic. 3. Low inventory at the same time makes the futures market more sensitive, the recent volatility of aluminum prices is mainly to reduce positions, reflecting the lack of confidence between the long and short sides and the fierce game between the two sides. It is expected that the trend of aluminum prices in the short term is still strong and volatile.
