  1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The investment rating for the alumina industry is "Oscillation" [1] 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Alumina prices continue to decline, and the industry is facing cost - profit pressure. However, with the reduction in operating capacity and potential demand recovery, the price may gradually enter a bottom - grinding stage [13][15] - The supply of bauxite is affected by policies and market factors, with domestic prices in a downward trend but limited downside space, and overseas supply facing uncertainties [2][12] 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Alumina Industry Chain Weekly Overview Raw Materials - Domestic ore prices are in a downward channel. Shanxi 58/5 bauxite is priced at 730 yuan/ton, Henan 58/5 at 668 yuan/ton, and Guizhou 60/6 at 596 yuan/ton. The short - term price is in a downward range but with limited downside space [2][12] - For imports, large bauxite enterprises are signing long - term contracts, with prices ranging from 88 - 95 dollars/dry ton.
