Group 3: Supply and Demand Dynamics - The supply side remains stable, but some factories are limited in production due to profit losses and environmental policies, leading to pressure on casting aluminum prices [2]. - Demand is weak as the end market is in a low season, with alloy plant operating rates declining and the automotive sector also slowing down [2]. - The price of scrap aluminum remains high, increasing costs for recycled aluminum alloy producers, while downstream die-casting enterprises are struggling to accept high prices, further impacting demand [2]. Group 4: Market Outlook - Overall, the casting aluminum market is expected to maintain a weak supply-demand balance, with prices likely to experience fluctuations and adjustments due to the current economic conditions [2].
