- Report Industry Investment Rating - Unilateral: Aluminum: Cautiously bullish; Alumina: Cautiously bullish; Aluminum alloy: Cautiously bullish. Arbitrage: Neutral [9] 2. Core View of the Report - Powell's speech triggered market sentiment fluctuations, causing a rapid decline in aluminum prices. However, there is no need to worry about entering an interest - rate hike cycle. The price correction released the risk of the previous continuous rise and is beneficial for price transmission. Overseas, there are actual production cuts, and the situation is still favorable for aluminum prices. In China, the decline in the futures price has stimulated downstream purchasing enthusiasm, and an inflection point in aluminum ingot inventory is expected. In the long run, the price correction provides a good opportunity for buying hedging. For alumina, policy adjustments and oil - price fluctuations support the cost, and the center of alumina price may rise slightly [6][8] 3.
