[SMM Morning Comment on Alumina: Increased Low-Price Transactions Domestically and Internationally, Short-Term Alumina Prices Expected to Decline] Recently, the weekly operating rate of alumina has continued to increase slightly, with no significant changes on the demand side. Low-price spot transactions have frequently occurred in the market, with a larger decline compared to earlier periods. In Henan, the spot transaction price was 4,050 yuan/mt on Thursday this week, down 830 yuan/mt from 4,880 yuan/mt on Thursday last week. However, as of now, alumina capacity has not yet entered a state of large-scale losses. Alumina supply is expected to maintain a high operating rate in the short term, with the supply and demand fundamentals remaining in a slightly surplus state. Overall, spot alumina prices are expected to continue their downward trend in the short term. Close attention should be paid to bauxite transaction prices, alumina costs, and overseas spot alumina prices in the near term.
