Capacity Cut Rumor to Allow SHFE Aluminum Outperform LME Aluminum, SMM Expects

[SMM Aluminum Alloy Daily Review] ADC12 market quotes were broadly raised today, with SMM ADC12 prices up 200 yuan/mt from the previous day. The upward adjustments were mainly driven by stronger aluminum prices and futures, higher raw material costs, and improved market sentiment. The cost side is now providing stronger support for ADC12 prices, and enterprises, facing cost pressure and a firmer market, have shown a greater willingness to repair prices upward. Meanwhile, some enterprises hold certain expectations for a recovery in end-use demand going forward. Attention should still be paid to the recovery of end-user orders and further changes in aluminum prices and raw material costs.
