铝产业链周报-20251110

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No industry investment rating is provided in the report. 2. Core View of the Report - The domestic aluminum market is in a transition from peak season to off - season. The supply and demand situation is complex, with changes in production capacity, consumption, and inventory. The recent sharp rise in aluminum stocks and the influx of funds into the Shanghai Aluminum market are based on expectations of supply shortages in the US, but there are risks of over - trading. Short - term observation is recommended [4]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1. Week - on - Week View - Fundamental Analysis: Domestic bauxite supply in Shanxi and Henan is expected to improve, while the price of Guinea bauxite has declined. Alumina production capacity has increased slightly, and inventory has risen. Electrolytic aluminum production capacity has decreased slightly, with some reduction due to technical upgrades and environmental protection. Domestic downstream processing enterprise operating rates have declined, and aluminum ingot inventory has increased slightly. In the recycled casting aluminum alloy sector, the production of leading enterprises has not been affected for the time being [4]. - Strategy Recommendations: For alumina, it is recommended to take profit on long positions and sold out - of - the - money put options. For Shanghai Aluminum and casting aluminum alloy, it is recommended to strengthen observation [5]. 3.2. Macroeconomic Indicators - The report presents data on US Treasury bond yields (10 - year and 2 - year), the US dollar index, inflation expectations, and the RMB exchange rate against the US dollar, but no specific analysis is provided [7][8]. 3.3. Bauxite - The prices of bauxite in Shanxi and Henan are stable, and the supply of domestic ore is expected to improve. The mainstream transaction price of Guinea bauxite has decreased by $1 per dry ton to $71.5 per dry ton. The end of the rainy season in Guinea and the weakening of alumina prices have put downward pressure on bauxite prices [11]. 3.4. Alumina - As of last Friday, the built - in production capacity of alumina remained unchanged week - on - week at 11,462 million tons, the operating capacity increased by 100,000 tons to 9,685 million tons, and the operating rate was 84.5%. The weighted price of domestic spot alumina decreased by 33.7 yuan/ton to 2,837.5 yuan/ton. National alumina inventory increased by 88,000 tons to 4.218 million tons. Some enterprises in the north have reduced production due to heavy pollution weather, while some have slightly increased production after stable operation [14]. 3.5. Important High - Frequency Data of Alumina - The report presents data on alumina basis, port inventory, north - south price difference, and transportation volume, but no specific analysis is provided [16][17][18][19]. 3.6. Electrolytic Aluminum - As of last Friday, the built - in production capacity of electrolytic aluminum remained unchanged week - on - week at 4.5232 million tons, and the operating capacity decreased by 10,000 tons to 4.4424 million tons. Some enterprises have reduced production for technical upgrades and environmental protection reasons, while new production capacity is expected to be put into operation [23]. 3.7. Important High - Frequency Data of Electrolytic Aluminum - The report presents data on aluminum import profit, Shanghai Aluminum forward curve, aluminum rod processing fee, and thermal coal price, but no specific analysis is provided [25][26][27]. 3.8. Inventory - The report presents data on aluminum rod social inventory, aluminum ingot social inventory, Shanghai Futures Exchange aluminum futures inventory, and LME aluminum inventory, but no specific analysis is provided [29][30][31][32]. 3.9. Casting Aluminum Alloy - The operating rate of leading recycled aluminum alloy enterprises remained stable at 59.1% week - on - week. The supply of scrap aluminum is tight and the price is high. The demand from the automotive end has resilience, but the high aluminum price has led to a decline in downstream purchasing enthusiasm. The production of leading enterprises has not been affected for the time being [37]. 3.10. Important High - Frequency Data of Casting Aluminum Alloy - The report presents data on the price of aluminum profiles, the forward curve of aluminum alloy futures, the price difference between ADC12 and A00 aluminum, and the import profit of ADC12 aluminum alloy ingots, but no specific analysis is provided [39][40][41][42][43]. 3.11. Downstream Operating Rate (First Part) - The operating rate of domestic aluminum downstream processing leading enterprises decreased by 0.6% to 61.6% week - on - week. The operating rate of aluminum profile leading enterprises decreased by 0.9% to 52.6%, with different performance in industrial and construction profiles. The operating rate of aluminum plate and strip leading enterprises decreased by 0.4% to 66%, affected by high aluminum prices and the transition to the off - season [49]. 3.12. Downstream Operating Rate (Second Part) - The operating rate of domestic cable leading enterprises decreased by 1% to 61.4% week - on - week, mainly due to heavy pollution weather control in some areas of Henan and slow order progress. The operating rate of primary aluminum alloy leading enterprises increased by 0.2% to 59.4%, with stable production and increased downstream demand [52].
