Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints - The price of finished steel is expected to move in a volatile and consolidating manner, with the price center shifting downward and showing a weak trend. Attention should be paid to macro - policies and downstream demand [1][3]. - The aluminum price is expected to fluctuate within a range in the short term. Low inventory and high aluminum - water ratio provide support, but the off - season demand restricts the upside. Follow - up attention should be paid to the inventory - consumption trend, macro - sentiment, and downstream start - up [4]. Summary According to Related Contents Finished Steel - Yunnan and Guizhou short - process construction steel enterprises' shutdown time during the Spring Festival is mostly in mid - to late January, with a resumption around the 11th to 16th day of the first lunar month, and the shutdown is expected to affect a total production of 741,000 tons. In Anhui, 1 out of 6 short - process steel mills stopped production on January 5, and most of the others will stop around mid - January, with a daily production impact of about 16,200 tons during shutdown [2][3]. - From December 30, 2024, to January 5, 2025, the total transaction (signing) area of newly built commercial housing in 10 key cities was 2.234 million square meters, a 40.3% decrease from the previous period and a 43.2% increase year - on - year [3]. - The price of finished steel continued to decline yesterday, reaching a new low. In the context of weak supply and demand and pessimistic market sentiment, the price center continued to shift downward, and winter storage was lackluster this year, providing limited price support [3]. Aluminum - On June 20, the weekly arrival volume of domestic port bauxite was 4.2009 million tons, a decrease of 38,000 tons from the previous week; the weekly departure volume of bauxite from major ports in Guinea was 3.0638 million tons, a decrease of 1.0108 million tons from the previous week. The impact of the rainy season in Guinea on shipments is expected to gradually emerge in late June [3]. - If the Strait of Hormuz is blocked, it may affect the import of alumina and bauxite from the Middle East. However, few of China's imported bauxite passes through the Strait of Hormuz, and China's alumina exports to the Middle East are small, accounting for 13% of the total exports from January to May 2025 [3]. - In June, the overall off - season atmosphere in the downstream aluminum processing industry was strong, with the weekly start - up rate dropping 0.6 percentage points to 59.8% from the previous week. On June 23, the inventory of electrolytic aluminum ingots in domestic mainstream consumption areas was 464,000 tons, a decrease of 6,000 tons from the previous Monday. The de - stocking rate weakened, but the low inventory still supported the market, while the spot premium gradually declined. The proportion of aluminum water remained high, and the market ingot production was still tight [3]. - Overseas macro - instability persists. Low inventory and the expectation of a high aluminum - water ratio support the aluminum price, but the inventory trend has been volatile. The impact of the rainy season in Guinea on ore prices is gradually emerging, and the off - season demand pressure limits the upside space [4].
