[Aluminum Scrap Daily Review: Aluminum Prices Show Strong Trend, Aluminum Scrap Actively Follows the Rise]

SMM, February 7:

Spot aluminum prices continued to rebound today, with primary aluminum spot prices rising by 240 yuan/mt compared to the previous trading day. SMM A00 spot aluminum closed at 20,470 yuan/mt, and aluminum scrap market quotations remained on an upward trend. Today, baled UBC aluminum scrap increased by 100 yuan/mt to 14,850-15,800 yuan/mt (excluding tax), while shredded aluminum tense scrap was quoted at 16,450-17,100 yuan/mt (liquid aluminum, excluding tax). Currently, most aluminum scrap traders have not resumed operations, and downstream scrap-consuming enterprises are primarily digesting inventory and have not yet returned to normal procurement activities, resulting in limited overall market transactions. Under weak supply and demand, the short-term price difference between primary metal and scrap is expected to remain volatile.

Fed to Keep Large Banks' Capital Levels Unchanged, Postpones Stress Test Reforms Until 2027

At the same time, the US Fed is planning multidimensional reforms to this annual test, aiming to enhance its transparency. The US Fed's Vice Chair for Supervision, Bowman, revealed that adjustments to the stress capital buffer requirements for large banks will be postponed until 2027.
