Shanghai Aluminum's main 2010 contract fluctuated upwards this week, recording a long positive line on Monday to recover the decline in the first four days, and then tested the upper resistance level in the next few days, reaching a high of 14675 yuan / ton on Friday, but continued to rise weakly. Lun Aluminum maintained a range of fluctuations this week, with the price difference between high and low only within $15 / ton.

In terms of internal trading, the trend of aluminum prices this week is tangled, and the room for going up and down is relatively limited. Short-sellers still come from the pressure of new electrolytic aluminum production capacity in southwest and northern regions, and the 1.08 million tons of production capacity of Yunnan Hongtai Phase I, which the market focused on this week, began to be put into production. The long-term supply pressure remains.
