【Secondary Aluminum Market Enters Holiday Mode, Transactions Sparse】Today, aluminum prices remained in a narrow adjustment range, with SMM A00 aluminum prices dropping by 10 yuan/mt from the previous trading day to 20,190 yuan/mt, while secondary aluminum prices remained largely stable. For domestic prices, large domestic secondary aluminum enterprises quoted at 20,800-21,100 yuan/mt, while small and medium-sized plants maintained quotes at 20,500-20,700 yuan/mt. On the import side, imported ADC12 overseas prices were in the range of 2,440-2,470 USD/mt, and real-time losses on imported ADC12 narrowed to within 100 yuan. As the Chinese New Year holiday approaches, most secondary aluminum plants have stopped taking orders and shut down for the holiday, with downstream stockpiling largely completed. Additionally, as downstream operations halt for the holiday, market transactions have become increasingly sluggish. ADC12 prices are expected to remain largely stable before the holiday.

South32 Shareholders Approve $5.6B Sale of Aluminum Assets to Alcoa
[SMM Aluminum Express News] South32 shareholders approve up to US$5.6 billion sale of aluminum assets to Alcoa. Australian mining company South32 announced on October 15 that shareholders approved the proposed sale of its aluminum value chain assets to Alcoa at its 2026 Annual General Meeting, marking a major milestone towards completing the transaction. The deal, valued at up to US$5.6 billion, covers South32's interests in Worsley Alumina and Hillside Aluminium, as well as Brazil's MRN bauxite mine, Alumar alumina refinery and aluminum smelter. The MRN stake transfer remains subject to pre-emptive rights held by its partners. The transaction will significantly expand Alcoa's exposure to bauxite, alumina and primary aluminum production, while South32 shifts its focus towards copper, zinc, silver, lead and manganese. Shareholder approval does not mean the transaction has closed, with remaining conditions still to be satisfied. The deal primarily represents a change in asset ownership rather than an immediate increase in global aluminum or alumina production.
