[SMM Aluminum Flash] Although the marginal weakening of aluminum fluoride cost side slightly alleviated production pressure for enterprises, overall costs remained high, with enterprise profitability under continuous pressure. The current market saw sluggish trading and insufficient transaction volumes, with downstream aluminum enterprises mainly engaging in just-in-time procurement, showing a significant push for lower prices, further suppressing price rise. In the short term, stable downstream aluminum capacity provides a just-in-time procurement bottom for aluminum fluoride, but the cautious on-demand restocking pace remains unchanged. Coupled with the loosening support from raw material costs, under the interplay of multiple factors, aluminum fluoride prices will mainly fluctuate rangebound, with the possibility of being under pressure to decline. Subsequent close attention should be paid to the marginal changes in raw material cost dynamics and downstream procurement pace.
