Today, aluminum prices remained high. To cash in at elevated levels, suppliers significantly reduced their quotes in the aluminum billet market on Friday. Faced with the continuously rising base price, downstream buyers adopted a wait-and-see attitude, and buying sentiment hit rock bottom. Suppliers further lowered their quotes during the trading session. In some regions, the phenomenon of "negative processing fees" even emerged for aluminum billet.
