[SMM alumina morning review: holders reluctant to sell, trading turns light] Influenced by macroeconomic sentiments and the sanctions on Russian metal products by the UK and the US, alumina futures prices surged on Monday, opening up an arbitrage opportunity between futures and spot markets. In the short term, the demand for delivery goods has boosted the prices of alumina in the northern spot market. It is crucial to continue monitoring the transmission of futures prices to the spot market. According to SMM research, holders of delivery goods have a strong reluctance to sell recently. However, due to the tight storage capacity in Xinjiang's delivery warehouse, traders are also cautious in receiving goods. On the other hand, there are expectations of some alumina factories in Shanxi resuming production, which may add supply in the short term. In the southwest region, the first batch of electrolytic aluminum production resumes in Yunnan is still ongoing, and current water supply in Yunnan is good. The spare production capacity in the province needs to be monitored, but the stable demand in the short term provides some support for the spot prices of alumina in the southwest region.
