Market Overview - The market experienced a strong rebound yesterday, with the Shanghai Composite Index rising nearly 1% to reclaim the 4000-point level. The total trading volume in the Shanghai and Shenzhen markets reached 2.06 trillion yuan, an increase of 182.9 billion yuan compared to the previous trading day. The Shanghai Composite Index rose by 0.97%, the Shenzhen Component Index by 1.73%, and the ChiNext Index by 1.84% [1]. Aluminum Supply and Demand - CITIC Securities indicated that the global supply and demand for electrolytic aluminum will remain balanced over the next three years, contingent on China's full production and the timely release of new overseas electrolytic aluminum capacity. Any supply disruptions could lead to a supply shortage. The high price and profit margins create a foundation for price increases, especially as the AI investment race in Europe and the U.S. faces electricity supply constraints, potentially threatening over 4 million tons of existing supply and accelerating aluminum prices upward [1]. Power Grid Equipment Performance - Huatai Securities reported significant performance differentiation in the power grid equipment sector for Q3. The revenue growth rates for various segments were as follows: non-UHV main grid at 38.2%, UHV main grid at 5.2%, distribution at -23.6%, and electric meters at -28.4%. The non-UHV main grid performed well due to strong overseas demand and ongoing domestic construction needs, with projected bidding amounts for 2024 and 2025 showing year-on-year increases of 8.2% and 19.5%, respectively. In contrast, the distribution segment faced challenges from domestic price reductions and weakened demand, while electric meter companies struggled with declining prices and increased competition in overseas markets [2]. Quantum Computing Development - CICC noted that quantum computing is transitioning from experimental validation to commercial application, marking a critical turning point. With advancements from global tech giants like Google, IBM, and Microsoft, and China's progress with prototypes, the global quantum computing market is expected to grow from $5 billion in 2024 to over $800 billion by 2035, with a CAGR exceeding 55%. The hardware segment is anticipated to benefit first, with core devices like measurement control systems and dilution refrigerators entering mass production soon [2].
