The following is an excerpt from the weekly report of SMM aluminum industry chain:

In the inner market, Shanghai aluminum fell continuously this week, and the bearish point from the fundamental point of view is that the market is not expected to be strong in the future "Golden Nine Silver Ten" peak season, and the supply side continues to release new and resumption production capacity, while imports of ingots have decreased, but they are still flowing in one after another, and SMM statistics show an increase in the weekly inventory of electrolytic aluminum in mainstream consumer places across the country; but the main reason is the withdrawal of long funds from large households and the conversion of market trading sentiment. Due to a precedent, aluminum prices in May-July all experienced "long soft crowding" caused by excessive positions in the month before delivery. judging from the trading rankings of the previous stock exchange, large long positions in the market dropped sharply this month, part of the speculative bulls withdrew, and some hedging positions also saw a trend to move their positions to the far month, resulting in a five-day reduction in positions in that month, with 2009 and 2010 contract aluminum prices both falling, and the price spread narrowed to around 100 yuan / ton in recent months.

Judging from the situation next week (09.7-09.11), consumption will pick up immediately after entering September, and inventory is still relatively low and has not decreased rapidly. It is expected that the aluminum price of the main 2010 contract will continue to decline within 200 yuan / ton, and there is still some support at the Wansi gate, but due to the possibility of falsification in the peak consumption season, and the pressure caused by the release of new Q3-Q4 capacity is expected to be obvious, and the upstream is expected to be under pressure. Generally speaking, there may be a small rebound in the low level next week, but the rebound space is limited, with an operating range of 14100-14600 yuan / ton.
