Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Group 2: Core Viewpoints - The mainstream transaction price of Guinea's bulk bauxite decreased by $0.7 per dry ton to $73.3 per dry ton compared to before the holiday. The approaching end of the rainy season in Guinea and the weakening alumina price pressured the ore price down. The operating capacity of alumina remained stable at 98.55 million tons compared to before the holiday, and the national alumina inventory increased by 105,000 tons to 3.902 million tons on a weekly basis. The newly put - into - operation alumina capacity in the first half of the year has entered a stable production state, and the alumina industry is in a high - stable production situation. The operating capacity of electrolytic aluminum increased steadily, rising by 15,000 tons to 44.454 million tons compared to before the holiday. The second - phase 100,000 - ton capacity of the Baise Yinhai technical renovation project was restored, but the increase in the operating capacity of electrolytic aluminum in October was very limited. In terms of demand, the operating rate of domestic aluminum downstream processing leading enterprises decreased by 0.5% to 62.5% compared to before the holiday. Although the double - festivals affected the downstream start - up, the peak demand season remained unchanged, and the operating rates of various downstream processing sectors would continue to rise. In terms of inventory, the accumulation of aluminum ingot social inventory during the double - festivals was within the normal level and did not exceed expectations. For recycled cast aluminum alloys, the demand recovered rapidly after the holiday, leading enterprises had full orders, and the operating rate continued to rise. Trump's signal on China - related tariffs raised market panic, causing declines in the commodity and stock markets. The short - term aluminum price may continue to be under pressure and decline, and long - position holders should pay attention to risk avoidance. However, Trump may be adding bargaining chips for the China - US leaders' APEC meeting in October, and the progress of the event and market sentiment should be monitored [4]. Group 3: Summary by Directory 1. Macro Economic Indicators - The document presents data on the US Treasury yield curve (10 - year and 2 - year yields), the US dollar index, the US 10 - year inflation - adjusted yield, and the exchange rate of the US dollar against the RMB (including the on - shore and off - shore exchange rates) [7][8]. 2. Bauxite - The supply of domestic bauxite is tightening, and the prices in Shanxi and Henan are temporarily stable. Stricter safety production supervision, enhanced environmental inspections, and the rainy season have restricted bauxite mining activities. Since mid - August, after the gradual consumption of domestic ore inventory, it has become a common practice in the industry for alumina plants to increase the use of imported ores. The mainstream transaction price of Guinea's bulk bauxite decreased by $0.7 per dry ton to $73.3 per dry ton. The large Guinea mining enterprises' long - term order quotes for the fourth quarter were slightly adjusted, with the FOB price reduced by $1 per dry ton compared to the third quarter. The sea freight is adjusted according to the oil price fluctuations, and the estimated CIF price is around $73 per dry ton [11]. 3. Alumina - As of last Friday, the built - up capacity of alumina was 114.62 million tons, unchanged from before the holiday, the operating capacity was 98.55 million tons, also unchanged from before the holiday, and the operating rate was 85.9%. The weighted price of domestic alumina spot was 2,937.7 yuan per ton, down 25.3 yuan per ton compared to before the holiday. The national alumina inventory was 3.902 million tons, an increase of 105,000 tons on a weekly basis. Newly put - into - operation capacity in Shandong, Guangxi, and other regions has entered a stable production state [15]. 4. Electrolytic Aluminum - As of last Friday, the built - up capacity of electrolytic aluminum was 45.232 million tons, unchanged from before the holiday, and the operating capacity was 44.454 million tons, an increase of 15,000 tons from before the holiday. Although the operating capacity of electrolytic aluminum increased steadily, the increase in October was expected to be very limited. On September 29, the second - phase 100,000 - ton capacity of the 200,000 - ton electrolytic aluminum energy - saving renovation project of Baise Guangtou Yinhai was successfully restored [24]. 5. Inventory - The document shows the historical data of social inventories of aluminum rods, aluminum ingots, Shanghai Futures Exchange aluminum futures inventories, and LME aluminum inventories from 2021 to 2025 [30][31][32][33]. 6. Cast Aluminum Alloy - The operating rate of leading recycled aluminum alloy enterprises increased by 2.3% to 58.9% compared to before the holiday. Four ministries and commissions jointly issued a notice to clean up local government's illegal tax rebates. The production arrangements of recycled aluminum enterprises during the holiday were relatively stable, and most enterprises did not stop production or only had a short - term shutdown of 1 - 3 days. The market demand recovered rapidly after the holiday, leading enterprises had full orders, especially for aluminum - water - based orders. However, downstream enterprises' procurement was still cautious, mainly focusing on consuming pre - holiday inventory and replenishing stocks as needed. Policy uncertainty and raw material shortage risks still restricted the start - up of some enterprises [38]. 7. Downstream Start - up - The operating rate of domestic aluminum downstream processing leading enterprises decreased by 0.5% to 62.5% compared to before the holiday. For aluminum profiles, the operating rate of leading enterprises decreased by 1% to 53.6%. The resumption of production of some enterprises in East and South China after the holiday was less than expected. In the industrial profile sector, some leading enterprises had good order arrangements for photovoltaic frames in early October; for automotive profiles, new orders remained stable. In the construction profile sector, the market demand was still weak. For aluminum strips, the operating rate of leading enterprises decreased by 1% to 68%. During the double - festivals, most leading enterprises maintained normal production. However, some enterprises producing building curtain wall panels had production line rotations or overhauls due to capital chain pressure and longer payment terms, while the demand for industrial plates such as automotive plates and battery shells was stable, and the production lines were basically operating at full capacity. For aluminum cables, the operating rate of leading enterprises decreased by 3% to 64%. Although leading enterprises maintained normal production during the holiday, most enterprises reduced their operating rates, and the restricted logistics during the double - festivals led to the backlog of finished product inventories. With the end of the holiday and the resumption of logistics, combined with the release of traditional rush - work demand in the fourth quarter, the operating rate is expected to rebound. For primary aluminum alloys, the operating rate of leading enterprises decreased by 0.4% to 58%. Some enterprises reduced their operating rates due to lower - than - expected downstream demand, and some enterprises maintained their original production rhythms due to unclear post - holiday order situations [51][55]. 8. Strategy Recommendations - Alumina: It is recommended to wait and see. - Shanghai Aluminum: Long - position holders should avoid risks. - Cast Aluminum Alloy: Long - position holders should avoid risks or go long on ADC and short on AL [5].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Aluminum is expected to experience a weekly - level consolidation, with the price center likely to move upward. The aluminum market has entered the "traditional consumption peak season", and downstream demand is a mixed bag. The overall aluminum price still needs to break through the convergent pattern, and both the unilateral direction and volatility tend to the long - side. [3] - For alumina, attention should be paid to the spot sales pressure, and there may still be room for the price to decline. The overall price center of alumina has moved down this week, and the spot sales pressure is increasing, which may still drag down the AO futures market. [4] 3.

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Ratings No investment ratings for the industry were provided in the report. 2. Core Views - The supply - demand outlook for domestic bauxite in August is expected to be loose, and the domestic social inventory of electrolytic aluminum has increased month - on - month [1]. - The rising prices of domestic and imported bauxite push up production costs. The decline in domestic alumina operating capacity cannot change the loose supply - demand outlook, limiting the upside potential of alumina prices. It is recommended that investors wait and see, focusing on the support level around 3000 - 3100 and the resistance level around 3300 - 3600 [2]. - With the increasing expectation of the Fed's interest rate cut in August, the transition from the traditional off - season to the peak season in the domestic market, and the low social inventory of domestic electrolytic aluminum, the Shanghai aluminum price is expected to be cautiously bullish. Investors are advised to go long on the main contract at low prices with a light position, focusing on the support level around 20200 - 20400 and the resistance level around 21000 - 21500. For LME aluminum, focus on the support level around 2300 - 2500 and the resistance level around 2700 - 2800 [2]. - With the increasing expectation of the Fed's interest rate cut in August and the tight supply of scrap aluminum leading to near - loss in recycled aluminum alloy production, the aluminum alloy price is expected to be cautiously bullish. Investors are advised to short the spread between electrolytic aluminum and aluminum alloy with a light position in the short term, focusing on the support level around 19800 - 20000 and the resistance level around 20300 - 20500 [2]. 3.

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core View of the Report - Alumina is expected to maintain a narrow - range oscillation in the short - term, with a mid - term oversupply situation. It is advisable to go short at high prices in the mid - term, with a short - term operating range of 3000 - 3300 yuan/ton [2][7]. - Electrolytic aluminum prices are likely to oscillate in the short - term, with a reference range of 20000 - 21000 yuan/ton. There is a risk of the price rising and then falling if demand does not improve [7]. - Cast aluminum alloy prices are predicted to maintain a narrow - range oscillation. The spot price is expected to remain firm, and the price difference with aluminum is likely to converge, with a reference operating range of 19600 - 20400 yuan/ton [7]. Summary by Directory 1. Market Review (8.18 - 8.22) - Alumina prices were weak this week due to inventory accumulation and rising warehouse receipts. With narrowing profits, cost support is strong, and the price is expected to oscillate narrowly next week [10]. - Electrolytic aluminum prices oscillated narrowly. Overseas interest - rate cut expectations cooled, while domestic policies provided support. Supply increased slowly, costs decreased slightly, and demand was the core issue. High prices restricted short - term purchases, but inventory accumulation slowed down [10]. - Cast aluminum alloy prices also oscillated narrowly. The market improved marginally, with social inventory decreasing for the first time since mid - April. Tight scrap aluminum supply supported costs, and some factories reduced production due to tax policy adjustments. Demand was structurally differentiated, and orders showed signs of improvement [10]. 2. Macroeconomic and Terminal Demand - US employment data in July was worse than expected, and previous data was revised down significantly. The labor market cooled significantly. The probability of a September interest - rate cut increased to 93.4% due to relatively mild inflation pressure [13][17][18]. - China's core CPI in July increased year - on - year to 0.8%, indicating continuous recovery of domestic demand. The PMI in July was 49.3%, a 0.4% decrease from the previous month, mainly affected by the traditional off - season and extreme weather [24][30]. - Real estate sales weakened on a weekly basis. From January to July, the floor area under construction of real estate development enterprises decreased by 9.2% year - on - year. New construction and investment are expected to continue to decline in 2025 [36][40]. - China's automobile production and sales data in July were strong. From January to July, production and sales increased by 12.7% and 12% respectively year - on - year. The inventory warning index improved, indicating better market sentiment [41][45]. 3. Industry Supply - Demand Fundamentals Aluminum Bauxite - In July, imports increased by 10.7% month - on - month. The impact of the rainy season in Guinea on imports will gradually emerge. Domestic production is relatively stable, with limited short - term supply increase [47][50]. - Domestic bauxite prices remained stable this week, while the import bulk market had few transactions. Port inventory continued to accumulate, and the pressure of barge transportation is expected to appear at the end of the month [51][61]. Alumina - In July, the profitability improved, and production increased by 5.4% month - on - month. The operating capacity is expected to increase slightly in August. The market is in a stock - piling trend, with inventory accumulating in factories and warehouse receipts increasing [62][66][68]. Electrolytic Aluminum - In July, production increased by 3.1% month - on - month, and the proportion of molten aluminum decreased significantly. The operating capacity in Yunnan increased due to capacity replacement. Net imports increased in July but are expected to decline slightly in August [72][76][84]. - This week, the operating rate of aluminum processing enterprises showed signs of recovery, mainly due to new orders in the automotive and photovoltaic sectors. The short - term inventory still has the expectation of accumulation, and the weekly social inventory increased by 0.8 tons, with a slower rate of accumulation [85][91][94]. - From January to July, the cumulative export of unwrought aluminum and aluminum products decreased by 8.5% year - on - year [96]. Cast Aluminum Alloy - In July, scrap aluminum production increased by 3.4% month - on - month, and the prices of domestic and imported scrap aluminum were firm. The industry's operating rate was 53.0% this week, with increased differentiation. The import volume in July reached a four - year low and is expected to remain low in August [99][109][110]. - The weekly inventory accumulation of cast aluminum alloy slowed down. The price is expected to maintain a narrow - range oscillation, with cost support and marginal improvement in demand during the off - peak to peak season transition [117][121].
