Fundamentals: (1) in China, Luoyang launched a red alert for heavy pollution weather, alumina and electrolytic aluminum enterprises implemented performance classification emission reduction, Luoyang area only one alumina plant, has stopped two roasting furnaces, one of which ultra-low baking furnace will be accepted on the 25th of this month; On October 22, Fujian property Rights Exchange Center listed 75000 tons of electrolytic aluminum production capacity index withdrawn from Fujian Nanping Aluminum Co., Ltd., Nanping Aluminum production Plant is located in Nanping City, Fujian Province, completed and put into production in 2004, approved production capacity of 75000 tons / year, in March 2019 shut down a series of 75000 tons electrolytic aluminum production line, a total of 112 electrolytic cells. In June 2019, all electrolytic cells and supporting facilities in a series of two workshops were dismantled.

Spot: the quotation of the two places in Shanghai Wuxi market yesterday was concentrated between 13920-13940 yuan / ton, and the spot price was 40 yuan / ton lower than that of yesterday. The price difference between next month and the current month is less than 20 yuan / ton, and the spot price in Hangzhou is 13930-13950 yuan / ton. Downstream manufacturers of a small number of goods, part of the downstream although there is a willingness to receive goods, but in view of the above invoice problems, the holder does not ship much, the actual transaction is not much. The overall transaction in East China is OK, although it is slightly deadlocked, but it is mainly affected by short-term financial settlement factors. Recently, in the morning, East China spot rose 90 yuan / ton near, the mood of receiving goods is high.

Summary: the contradiction between long and short in the short-term market still exists, although the supply increase is expected, but the actual growth rate is slow. With the recovery after the consumption holiday, the spot social inventory continues to go to the warehouse. At the present stage, the consumption can still go to the warehouse to continue to make the industry still need to give electrolytic aluminum a certain profit space, should not be too bearish, we should pay attention to the sustainability of consumption. Due to the increase in overseas alumina supply and weak demand, the internal and external positive sleeve will drag down the increased risk and can appropriately reduce the position. The monthly difference between SHFE contracts maintains a pattern of near strength and far weakness, which can be properly intervened.
