电解铝期货品种周报-20250623

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. 2. Core View of the Report - The market for electrolytic aluminum is expected to show a large - range oscillation, with a bullish trend in July. The near - term bullish sentiment is based on the short - squeeze behavior induced by the continuous decline of overseas inventories and the expectation of the implementation effect of domestic economic - stabilizing policies. Before the major negative factor of Sino - US trade confrontation further intensifies, the market may continue to show a relatively strong oscillatory performance. The range for the Shanghai Aluminum 2508 contract in the coming week is expected to be between 20,400 and 20,900 [5][12]. - The overall downstream aluminum processing industry is in a strong off - season atmosphere. High aluminum prices, weak off - season demand, inventory pressure, and cost - side losses are the main suppressing factors, and the weekly operating rate of downstream aluminum processing is expected to continue to decline slightly on a week - on - week basis [25]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Mid - term Market Analysis - Trend Judgment: The market shows a large - range oscillation, with a bullish tendency in July. The basis for the near - term bullish view is the short - squeeze behavior caused by the continuous decline of overseas inventories and the expectation of the implementation effect of domestic economic - stabilizing policies. Before the Sino - US trade confrontation further intensifies, the market may continue the relatively strong oscillatory performance [5]. - Strategy Suggestion: Consider increasing inventory allocation around 20,000 [5]. 3.2 Variety Trading Strategy - Last Week's Strategy Review: The fluctuation range of the Shanghai Aluminum 2507 contract in the coming week was expected to be between 20,200 and 20,800 [7]. - This Week's Strategy Suggestion: The market may continue the relatively strong oscillatory performance. The range for the Shanghai Aluminum 2508 contract in the coming week is expected to be between 20,400 and 20,900, and it is recommended to hold long positions and wait and see [8]. - Hedging Suggestion for Spot Enterprises: Consider moderately allocating virtual futures inventories at low prices [9]. 3.3 Overall View - Supply - side: The shortage of domestic bauxite supply is difficult to break, and there is an expectation of further tightening. The supply of alumina has decreased but is expected to recover by the end of the month, with a gradual small surplus. The supply of electrolytic aluminum is relatively stable, but the ingot output has declined due to some aluminum plants increasing the proportion of aluminum water. The global primary aluminum production growth rate is only 1.9% [10]. - Demand - side: The operating rates of various downstream aluminum products such as profiles, plates, foils, cables, and alloys have declined to varying degrees, with weak demand. The operating rate of downstream aluminum processing has decreased by 0.6 percentage points to 59.8% this week, and it is expected to continue to decline slightly next week [11][25]. - Inventory: The social inventory of aluminum ingots is at a low level since 2017, with a decline of about 3% compared to last week and about 41% compared to the same period last year. The inventory of aluminum rods has increased by about 5% compared to last week and is at a relatively low level in the range since 2016. The LME electrolytic aluminum inventory has been continuously declining slightly since May 2024 and is currently at a low level since 1990 [11]. - Profit: The average cash cost of the domestic alumina industry is about 2,640 yuan/ton, with a profit of about 550 yuan/ton. The average production cost of domestic electrolytic aluminum is about 17,600 yuan/ton, with a theoretical profit of about 3,000 yuan/ton, at a relatively high level [12]. - Market Expectation: Domestically, during the policy window period, market expectations are generally positive, providing stable support for commodities. It is expected that the aluminum price will continue to oscillate at a high level next week, with the mainstream range likely to be between 20,400 and 20,800 yuan [12]. 3.4 Important Industrial Link Price Changes - The prices of most important industrial links have changed to varying degrees. For example, the price of Henan's first - grade alumina has decreased by 3.35% week - on - week, and the domestic electrolytic aluminum production cost has decreased by 0.96% week - on - week [13]. 3.5 Important Industrial Link Inventory Changes - The inventories of various products such as bauxite, alumina, electrolytic aluminum, and aluminum rods have changed. For example, the port inventory of imported bauxite has decreased by 0.95% week - on - week, and the LME aluminum inventory has decreased by 2.92% week - on - week [15]. 3.6 Supply - demand Situation - The overall downstream aluminum processing is in the off - season, with the operating rate decreasing by 0.6 percentage points to 59.8% this week. High aluminum prices, weak off - season demand, inventory pressure, and cost - side losses are the main suppressing factors, and the operating rate is expected to continue to decline slightly next week [25]. 3.7 Futures - spot Structure - The current Shanghai Aluminum futures price structure remains relatively strong [29]. 3.8 Spread Structure - The spread between aluminum ingots and ADC12 this week is about - 1,490 yuan/ton, compared to - 1,700 yuan/ton last week. The current spread between primary aluminum and alloys is at a relatively high level in recent years, which may drag down the electrolytic aluminum price [36][37]. 3.9 Market Capital Situation - LME Aluminum: The net long position has slightly rebounded in the past 6 weeks. In the latest period, the long - position camp has remained stable while the short - position camp has reduced positions. The market may mainly show a relatively strong oscillatory performance in the near term [38]. - SHFE Electrolytic Aluminum: The net short position has remained stable this week. Both the long and short camps have significantly increased positions for two consecutive weeks, and market divergence is increasing. The net long position of financial - speculation - based funds has continued to increase slightly, and the net short position of funds from mid - and downstream enterprises has remained stable. The market may be stable with a slightly upward trend next week [41].
