[SMM Aluminum News Brief] The fundamentals of the prebaked anode raw material market were under short-term pressure, and cost support for prebaked anode prices loosened somewhat but remained relatively firm. Cost support for prebaked anodes was solid during the April cycle, and SMM learned that prebaked anode prices continued their upward trend in May. Going forward, close attention should be paid to changes in the supply-demand pattern and price trends of prebaked anodes and upstream raw materials.
