Report Industry Investment Rating - Aluminum: Neutral [5] - Alumina: Cautiously Bearish [5] - Aluminum Alloy: Neutral [5] Core Viewpoints - The increase in the Fed's interest - rate cut expectation has led to a drop in the US dollar index and a rise in Shanghai aluminum prices. The alumina spot price has slightly weakened, and the smelting profit has expanded to 4,000 yuan/ton during the consumption off - season. Although the overall consumption shows a marginal weakening trend, the inventory increase is limited, and the absolute inventory value remains at a historically low level, with long - term attention to delivery risks [3]. - For alumina, the cost is stable, but the alumina plants are relatively pessimistic about the future price, resulting in low enthusiasm for bauxite procurement. The weekly production and inventory are both rising significantly, and the supply pressure at home and abroad remains unchanged in the long term. Currently, the delivery risk has been alleviated [4]. - The aluminum alloy is in the consumption off - season, with limited price increase space in the spot market. The supply of scrap aluminum is still tight, and the cost supports the price. Attention should be paid to cross - variety arbitrage opportunities [4].
