Report Summary 1) Report Industry Investment Rating No specific industry investment rating is provided in the given content. 2) Core Views - For building materials (成材): Expected to move in a range with a downward - shifting center of gravity, and run in a weak and volatile manner. The market is in a situation of weak supply and demand, with pessimistic market sentiment, and this year's winter storage is sluggish, providing little price support. The view is for volatile consolidation [1][3]. - For aluminum ingots: The price is expected to run in a short - term range. In the short term, the fundamentals are stable, but macro - overseas interference events repeatedly affect market sentiment. The price is currently in a high - level shock, and future attention should be paid to the inventory - consumption trend [4]. 3) Summary by Related Catalogs Building Materials - Production suspension impact: Yunnan - Guizhou short - process building steel enterprises' production suspension during the Spring Festival is expected to affect a total of 741,000 tons of building steel production. In Anhui, 1 out of 6 short - process steel mills stopped production on January 5, and most of the rest will stop production around mid - January, with a daily production impact of about 16,200 tons during the suspension period [2][3]. - Real estate transaction data: From December 30, 2024, to January 5, 2025, the total transaction (signing) area of newly - built commercial housing in 10 key cities was 2.234 million square meters, a 40.3% decrease from the previous period and a 43.2% increase year - on - year [3]. - Market situation: The price continued to decline in a volatile manner yesterday, reaching a new low recently. The market is in a situation of weak supply and demand, with no significant highlights in the near term, and this year's winter storage is sluggish, providing little support for prices [3]. - Later focus: Macro - policies and downstream demand [3]. Aluminum - Supply - side situation: After entering October, due to the peak season of downstream processed materials demand, the proportion of direct aluminum water supply is expected to increase, resulting in low aluminum ingot production and reduced market supply, which supports the aluminum price [3]. - Demand - side situation: In early October, the overall performance of the aluminum processing industry was in line with seasonal characteristics, but there was obvious internal differentiation. The overall industry showed resilience, but the "Golden September and Silver October" in the demand side was lackluster, and the high aluminum price and order differentiation restricted the short - term upward space of the operating rate. High prices will gradually suppress downstream purchasing, leading to a marginal weakening of demand and limiting the upward space of aluminum prices [3]. - Inventory data: On October 13, the inventory of electrolytic aluminum ingots in domestic mainstream consumption areas was 650,000 tons, an increase of 1,000 tons from last Thursday and 58,000 tons from last Monday [3]. - Later focus: Macro - expectations, geopolitical crises, mine resumption, and consumption release [4].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided regarding the industry investment rating. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - After the holiday, the price of cast aluminum alloy fluctuated strongly, reaching a high of 20,775 yuan/ton during the week. However, the Sino-US tariff issue flared up again on Friday night, causing a decline in the night session. Although the market was relatively restrained, there is a possibility of further fermentation of negative sentiment, which requires dynamic tracking [6]. - From the supply side, the price of scrap aluminum generally increased around the holiday, and the price of raw aluminum is prone to rise and difficult to fall. Some enterprises' raw material inventories are at a historical low. From the demand side, the industry's operating rate continued to rise, and the market demand gradually recovered after the holiday. Overall, with the start of the year - end sales rush in the automotive industry, the seasonal performance in the fourth quarter may be stronger. Coupled with the implementation of the cancellation of tax rebates and the continuous tight supply of scrap aluminum, the cost - side increase logic will strongly support the price. Based on the judgment of the unilateral price of electrolytic aluminum, the medium - to - long - term outlook is bullish, and it is advisable to look for buying opportunities on dips [6]. - As of October 10, the combined inventory of aluminum alloy ingot factories and social warehouses increased by 0.57 million tons to 13.72 million tons compared with the previous week, and the inventory pressure remains high. In the downstream, in the fourth week of September (September 21 - 27), domestic automobile sales reached 585,000 units, a year - on - year increase of 26.62%. Overall, the effect of the trade - in policy is prominent, and the fourth batch of funds was advanced at the end of September, which helps to stabilize consumer confidence and continuously boost automobile consumption.
