Report Summary 1. Investment Rating The report does not mention the industry investment rating. 2. Core Views - Alumina: The raw material end shows that the rainy season in Guinea is ending, and the subsequent import volume of bauxite may recover, but the current supply is still tight and port inventories are slightly decreasing. Supply may gradually converge as high - cost enterprises face losses and carry out maintenance and production cuts. Demand is expected to increase steadily as the electrolytic aluminum industry is in the peak season, with strong aluminum prices and high production enthusiasm. It is recommended to lightly go long on the alumina main contract at low prices [4][5]. - Electrolytic Aluminum: The supply of alumina, the raw material, is still abundant, with low prices. Aluminum prices are strong, increasing smelter profits and production enthusiasm. Domestic production capacity is approaching the industry limit, and supply is expected to remain stable. However, the traditional peak consumption season is ending, and downstream demand may decline, with inventory accumulating. It is recommended to lightly go short on the Shanghai Aluminum main contract at high prices [4]. - Cast Aluminum: The supply of scrap aluminum, the raw material, is tight, and the price of casting aluminum auxiliary materials is rising, providing strong cost support. Supply may slow down due to raw material shortages. High aluminum prices have led to weak downstream demand and inventory accumulation. It is recommended to lightly go short on the cast aluminum main contract at high prices [7]. - Options Market: Considering that aluminum prices may face pressure in the future and volatility may increase, a double - buying strategy can be considered to bet on increased volatility [74]. 3.
