CITIC Securities Research said that the profit improvement of aluminum has become the main line in the near term, driving the restart of the sector's upward trend. Looking forward, electrolytic aluminum capacity is limited and disturbances are frequent, and supply is under continuous pressure; demand has strong resilience in the short term and high certainty in the long term. Under the tight balance, aluminum prices are expected to remain high, coupled with the lack of upward support for energy and raw material prices in the year, aluminum profits are expected to remain high, supporting the sector's subsequent upward trend. We are optimistic about the layout opportunities of the aluminum sector and maintain the rating of "stronger than the market" for the sector.
