[Aluminum Prices Continue Weak Consolidation, Secondary Aluminum Prices Remain in Decline] Today, aluminum prices fell again, with SMM A00 aluminum prices dropping 130 yuan/mt to 20,660 yuan/mt compared to the previous trading day, and secondary aluminum prices generally declined.

Today, aluminum prices continued to fall, with many secondary aluminum smelters lowering their quotes by 100 yuan/mt, while some held steady and observed. Insufficient demand and weakening costs maintained a more likely to fall than rise pattern for short-term secondary aluminum alloy prices.
