According to SMM statistics, the inventory of aluminum billets in major domestic consumption areas stood at 127,700 mt on June 3, a decrease of 600 mt from last Thursday, with inventory remaining firmly at a three-year low for the same period. After the holiday, aluminum prices pulled back sharply. In the morning session of today's aluminum billet market, there was an attempt to leverage the momentum for an upward adjustment, but due to poor performance in rigid demand, downstream buyers remained cautious in procurement. Suppliers showed discrepancies in their mid-session quotes, with those facing greater pressure to sell lowering their quotes to realize cash. Overall, transaction performance was mediocre. Today, the aluminum billet market in Foshan reported processing fees of 350/400 yuan/mt, up 50 yuan/mt; the Wuxi market reported processing fees of 320/400 yuan/mt, unchanged; and the Nanchang region reported processing fees of 300/350 yuan/mt, up 50 yuan/mt.
