[SMM afternoon Review] Huadong Aluminum: the shippers are actively downstream and are not in stock near the weekend.

SMM7 March 24:

Aluminum futures fluctuated in the range after the pre-afternoon shock fell. The spot price of aluminum ingots in Wuxi area is between 14540 and 14560 yuan / ton, while the price in Shanghai is between 14520 and 14540 yuan / ton. The spot price is 10 yuan / ton lower than yesterday, and the spot water price is 120 yuan / ton. Compared with yesterday, the spot water price is slightly lower than yesterday, and the price in Hangzhou area is between 14540 and 14560 yuan / ton. Today's market supply is relatively relaxed, brand performance is relatively single, more Tianshan hope and Jiarun and other brands, holders actively ship goods, middlemen are generally willing to receive goods, the two sides can hardly say good trading. A large family buys normally today, and the quantity of goods received in East China is less than 10,000 tons. Downstream today's normal procurement, although close to Friday, but the enthusiasm of stock preparation is obviously less than expected. 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.
