Recently, Baotou Aluminum successfully conducted a hot load test run for its 200,000 mt high-quality wrought aluminum alloy and secondary aluminum recycling project.

The successful extraction of the first 630×1600 mm slab from the furnace marked the entry of this key project into the continuous trial production and equipment defect elimination phase, laying a solid foundation for Baotou Aluminum to enhance its supply capacity of high-end aluminum alloy materials and promote the efficient recycling of secondary aluminum resources.

Upon reaching full production, the project will form a new production capacity scale of 200,000 mt for high-performance wrought aluminum alloy, simultaneously absorbing 70,000 mt of secondary aluminum. It will save 238,000 mt of standard coal, 980,000 m³ of water resources, and reduce carbon emissions by 980,000 mt annually, truly forming a dual-wheel-driven development model of "resource recycling + product upgrading". Its products are mainly targeted at the high-end wrought aluminum alloy sector, with wide applications in markets such as automotive lightweighting, can stock, battery foil, and high-end electronic device manufacturing, contributing to Baotou's efforts to build a 100 billion yuan aluminum industry cluster.

The US Fed has announced that it will maintain the capital levels of large banks unchanged during the upcoming stress test cycle (corresponding to the 2026 cycle). 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.
