【SMM Alumina Morning Review: Slight increase in spot prices supported by limited downstream pre-holiday demand】On Monday, there were sporadic price increases in the spot market for alumina in northern China. As some electrolytic aluminum plants enter the final stage of pre-holiday stockpiling, downstream wait-and-see sentiment is growing. However, it cannot be ruled out that some small electrolytic aluminum plants may still have a small amount of pre-holiday stockpiling plans, combined with recent tight supply of ore and continued impact of energy supply issues such as natural gas on alumina enterprises' production. The alumina demand side is relatively stable at the moment. SMM expects that the tight supply situation in the short term will provide some support to domestic spot prices before the holiday. It is necessary to continue monitoring the impact of heavy snow in the northern region on enterprise production and goods shipment, as well as the recent situation of imported alumina arrivals.
