[Daily Review of Aluminum Scrap: Aluminum Scrap Prices Drop Back Slightly, Market Maintains Purchasing as Needed] In the short term, domestic supply of new aluminum scrap has improved to some extent. However, constrained by moderate downstream demand and the high-level operation of primary aluminum and aluminum scrap prices, downstream and end-use demand remain weak. Aluminum scrap prices may fluctuate rangebound following primary aluminum.

Spot primary aluminum prices dropped by 60 yuan/mt compared to the previous trading day, with SMM A00 spot aluminum closing at 20,710 yuan/mt. Aluminum scrap market quotes slightly pulled back following aluminum prices. Downstream alloy plants maintained purchasing as needed due to lackluster demand.

Aluminum scrap prices are expected to fluctuate rangebound following primary aluminum prices.
