Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In the electrolytic aluminum sector, recent alternative data indicate a weakening US labor market, and hawkish statements from some Fed officials have dampened market risk appetite. The outcome of the US government's reopening agreement is crucial as post - reopening data may influence market sentiment. Fundamentally, electrolytic aluminum production capacity remains stable, but the proportion of molten aluminum is expected to decline in November, leading to an increase in ingot production. In the consumption aspect, as November marks the transition between peak and off - peak seasons and with high aluminum prices, downstream procurement is mainly for essential needs. Additionally, environmental restrictions on some aluminum processing enterprises in the north have curbed consumption. The supply - demand situation is showing marginal weakness, and it is difficult for the social inventory of aluminum ingots to continue decreasing. Overall, with high macro uncertainty, tight overseas supply, and insufficient domestic supply - demand fundamentals, but high capital attention as evidenced by the record - high position in Shanghai aluminum futures, Shanghai aluminum is expected to perform well. [2][7] - In the cast aluminum sector, on the supply side, capacity release is constrained by uncertainties in raw materials and policies, and short - term cast aluminum operation remains stable. According to SMM, the output of ADC12 in October was 364,000 tons, a decrease of 9,000 tons. On the consumption side, the rapid price increase has made downstream buyers hesitant, leading to a short - term decline in提货 enthusiasm. However, the good growth in terminal automobile production and sales provides demand resilience. The supply of scrap aluminum in the raw material market remains tight, with the price center rising by 100 - 150 yuan/ton compared to last week, and the refined - scrap price difference of crushed primary aluminum in Foshan decreasing from 1,736 yuan/ton to 1,729 yuan/ton. With favorable supply - demand expectations and raw material cost support, cast aluminum is expected to fluctuate at a high level.

[4] - In terms of macro - economy, the US ADP employment in October increased by 42,000, significantly exceeding the expected 30,000, and the previous month's data was revised to a decrease of 29,000. The US ISM services PMI in October rose 2.4 points to 52.4, reaching an eight - month high and far exceeding the expected 50.8. The eurozone services PMI final value in October was 53%, better than the initial value of 52.6%, pushing the composite PMI final value to 52.5, the highest since May 2023. The US ISM manufacturing PMI index in October was 48.7, contracting for the eighth consecutive month and falling short of the expected 49.5.

In the first three quarters, China's service trade import and export volume was 5.93622 trillion yuan, a year - on - year increase of 7.6%. [4] - In the consumption of electrolytic aluminum, according to SMM, the domestic downstream aluminum processing industry's operating rate decreased by 0.6% to 61.6% month - on - month, mainly due to environmental protection affecting downstream operations and the transition from peak to off - peak seasons weakening consumption. The terminal automobile and power sectors have consumption resilience, which is expected to support consumption. It is expected that the aluminum processing operating rate will decline slightly and fluctuantly in November. [5] - In terms of electrolytic aluminum inventory, according to SMM, on October 23, the social inventory of aluminum ingots decreased by 9,000 tons compared to last Thursday, to 618,000 tons; the aluminum rod inventory was 145,000 tons, a decrease of 3,000 tons compared to last Thursday.

The refined - scrap price difference of Shanghai machine - made primary aluminum increased by 80 yuan/ton to 2,600 yuan/ton compared to last Friday. The operating rate of leading recycled aluminum enterprises remained stable at 59.1% week - on - week. On November 6, the social inventory of recycled aluminum alloy ingots in domestic mainstream consumption areas was 55,800 tons, an increase of 1,000 tons compared to last Thursday. The exchange warehouse receipt inventory was 55,000 tons, an increase of 4,662 tons compared to last Friday. [6] Market Outlook - Electrolytic aluminum: The market risk appetite is suppressed due to the weakening US labor market and hawkish Fed statements. After the US government reopens, the data may affect market sentiment. Fundamentally, production capacity is stable, but the molten aluminum ratio is expected to decline in November, and the ingot production will increase. Consumption is mainly for essential needs, and environmental restrictions in the north curb consumption. The supply - demand situation is weakening, and the social inventory of aluminum ingots is unlikely to continue decreasing. With high macro uncertainty, tight overseas supply, and insufficient domestic fundamentals, but high capital attention, Shanghai aluminum is expected to perform well. [7] - Cast aluminum: Supply capacity release is constrained by raw materials and policies, and short - term operation is stable. Downstream buyers are hesitant due to high prices, but terminal automobile production and sales support demand. The supply of scrap aluminum is tight, and prices are rising. With favorable supply - demand expectations and cost support, cast aluminum is expected to fluctuate at a high level. [8] Industry News - In October 2025, China's unprocessed aluminum and aluminum product export volume was 503,000 tons. From January to October 2025, the export volume was 5.02 million tons, a decrease of 8.60% compared to 5.49 million tons in the same period last year. [9] - According to SMM, due to significant inventory pressure of aluminum processed products, a southern aluminum plant restarted the electrolytic aluminum ingot business in November. The molten aluminum ratio is expected to drop from 100% to 75%, with the end time undetermined. Also, due to weak demand in the aluminum rod market and intensified regional competition, the enterprise adjusted the aluminum rod production line, with the daily output of aluminum rods decreasing by 70%, and the aluminum rod output also decreased. [9] - Rio Tinto's Bell Bay aluminum plant extended the temporary power agreement with the Tasmanian government and will operate until December 2026, gaining a 14 - month buffer for long - term operation negotiations. Currently, the federal government is promoting the negotiation of a 10 - year power supply agreement and a 2 - billion - dollar green aluminum production credit plan.
