Today, SHFE aluminum futures slightly declined compared to yesterday's morning session, prompting traders holding goods in the central China market to actively raise their quotes. However, limited by weak actual purchasing sentiment among buying traders and downstream processing enterprises, transactions were poor, with sellers' transaction prices significantly deviating from their quotes. Ultimately, the actual transaction price range in the central China market was around a discount of 70-90 yuan/mt against the SHFE aluminum October contract.
