High energy prices in Europe push up aluminum prices and domestic profits on electrolytic aluminum will increase.

On the 7th, LME aluminum rose about 4%, breaking through 4000 US dollars per ton in intraday trading, a record high. In terms of upstream costs, one-month electricity futures in Germany rose 19%, while natural gas wholesale contracts in the Netherlands rose 7.3% in April, both reaching record highs.

Comments: the continuous rise in natural gas prices in Europe has led to a rise in electricity prices, corresponding to serious losses in European aluminum and zinc production, while China's domestic electrolytic aluminum smelting profits are rising, and due to relatively strong consumption, aluminum rod inventory has been in storage for three consecutive weeks. Guosheng Securities believes that under the overseas high premium market, the demand for export orders for aluminum processing products may increase significantly. In the environment of difficult supply recovery, sustained recovery of demand, low inventory and large premium of overseas aluminum prices, domestic aluminum prices will also catch up with the rising market.

Nanshan Aluminium Industry: Indonesia alumina project is put into production by stages to increase the guarantee of resources;

Tianshan aluminum industry: thanks to the rich coal resources and energy location advantages in Xinjiang, the power supply is guaranteed;

Chinalco: it is the only large aluminum company in China that integrates the whole industry chain of energy, bauxite, alumina, electrolytic aluminum and aluminum processing.

Comments: with the comprehensive and continuous infiltration of digital technology into all fields of economy and society, the demand for numeracy in the whole society is very urgent, and it is expected that it will continue to grow at a rapid rate of more than 20% every year. The cluster planned by "East and West" will carry the construction of large and super-large data centers in the computing hub, which will play a positive role in the investment of related industries.
