Alumina - In Guangxi, 5,000 tons of alumina were traded at a spot - cash price of 3,180 yuan/ton. The rainy season affects the import of Guinea ore and domestic ore mining.

Aluminum Alloy - The supply of scrap aluminum is tight, but the production profit is significantly repaired, and the price difference between the spot price and aluminum ingots shows a seasonal repair trend, indicating actual consumption recovery. The increase in social inventory is mainly due to the transformation of invisible inventory to visible inventory. Attention can be paid to the spread arbitrage of the AD2511 - AL2511 contract [7]. 3.
