Spot side: yesterday, the spot price in Shanghai was between 14410 and 14420 yuan / ton, while the price in Wuxi was between 14430 and 14450 yuan / ton, which was slightly higher than that on Friday, and the rising water fell sharply to 50 yuan / ton of rising water. The supply tension in Wuxi market increased yesterday, and the price quoted by the holder was very strong, but relatively speaking, the supply in Shanghai area was more relaxed, and the price was 20 yuan / ton lower than that in Wuxi area. A large family normally announced its purchase plan, but the actual receipt of goods in Shanghai area was on the high side. Although the middleman is willing to accept the goods, it is more difficult to reach an agreement with the holder on the price, and the two sides have reached a stalemate. In addition, imports of aluminum increased significantly yesterday, suppressing the decline of rising water. From the downstream point of view, normal delivery is the main, procurement enthusiasm is not high. The overall transaction in East China was poor yesterday. Afternoon aluminum to maintain a range of shocks, the holder quoted price at 14450 Mel 14460 yuan / ton, on the disk surface rise water 50 Mel 60 yuan / ton around, the transaction is very light.
Conclusion: from a macro point of view, the rebound trend of foreign economic recovery is obvious, but the threat of the epidemic continues, and economic uncertainty still brings greater risks. From a fundamental point of view, the decline in social inventory of aluminum ingots further narrowed yesterday, with a strong willingness to stand price at the supply end, and downstream on-demand procurement, which was in line with the previous short-term aluminum price forecast, and electrolytic aluminum prices maintained a volatile upward trend in the short term.
