Domestic aluminum billet inventory maintained an upward trend. Over the past week, extrusion enterprises have gradually entered the holiday phase, leading to insufficient downstream demand and sluggish market activity. Today, aluminum billet processing fees in three regions remained stable overall. A small portion of buyers showed demand for low-price purchases, but overall market transactions were sparse, and processing fees showed no significant improvement. Processing fees in the South China market were reported at 90-140 yuan/mt, unchanged; Wuxi market processing fees were at 150-200 yuan/mt, unchanged; and Nanchang market saw weak buying sentiment, with processing fees at 160-220 yuan/mt, unchanged.
