1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The report gives a "Bullish Oscillation" rating for the electrolytic aluminum industry [12] 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The electrolytic aluminum market in China will remain in a tight - balanced state in the fourth quarter, and the domestic and foreign visible inventories are at historically low levels. However, Sino - US trade confrontation has cast a shadow over domestic demand. Recently, the market may continue the high - level oscillation pattern, with the AI2512 range expected to be between 20,600 and 21,300 [5][12] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Mid - term Market Analysis - **Trend Judgment**: The market is expected to show a bullish oscillation. The core drivers of aluminum prices remain strong due to the tight - balanced state of domestic electrolytic aluminum in the fourth quarter, low visible inventories at home and abroad, and anti - involution. But Sino - US trade confrontation affects domestic demand. It is recommended to hold medium - term long positions below 20,000 [5] 3.2 Variety Trading Strategies - **Last Week's Strategy Review**: Not mentioned in detail - **This Week's Strategy Suggestion**: It is advisable to wait and see. Consider grid trading based on the recent fluctuation range. If the price reaches 21,300 during the week, appropriate short - term long positions can be added [8] - **Hedging Suggestion for Spot Enterprises**: Maintain an appropriate inventory. If the price is below 20,000 yuan, consider replenishing the inventory [9] 3.3 Overall Viewpoints Supply - **Bauxite Market**: The impact of the rainy season in Guinea is weakening, and the ore shipment volume is increasing. The supply of imported ore is expected to be abundant in the fourth quarter. Domestic mine governance policies will restrict domestic ore supply in the long term, and the supply is unlikely to improve significantly in the fourth quarter [10] - **Alumina Market**: As of October 17, the domestic alumina production capacity was about 112.55 million tons, and the operating capacity was about 96.8 million tons, with a capacity utilization rate of about 86.22%. Alumina plants are still profitable, and production will continue to increase, with the surplus expanding [10] - **Electrolytic Aluminum Production**: In September, the domestic electrolytic aluminum production was 3.6148 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 1.14% and a month - on - month decrease of 3.18%. The annual net increase in production is expected to be less than 0.5 million tons. In the fourth quarter, production may remain high but with limited growth [10] - **Import and Export**: The theoretical loss of electrolytic aluminum imports is about 2,340 yuan/ton. The export volume of unforged aluminum products decreased slightly in August and September, and the intensifying Sino - US trade confrontation may put pressure on exports from November to December [10] Demand - **Aluminum Profiles**: The weekly operating rate decreased by 0.1 percentage points to 53.5%. The photovoltaic profiles were significantly affected by the reduction in downstream component factory production. The operating rate is expected to be stable but weak in the short term [11] - **Aluminum Plate, Strip, and Foil**: The operating rate of leading aluminum plate and strip enterprises remained stable at 68.0%, and is expected to decline gradually. The operating rate of leading aluminum foil enterprises remained stable at 72.3%, but may weaken due to weakening demand [11] - **Aluminum Cables and Wires**: The operating rate remained stable at 64%, and is expected to remain weakly stable [11] - **Alloys**: The operating rate of primary aluminum alloys increased by 0.4 percentage points to 58.4%, and is expected to continue to be stable. The operating rate of recycled aluminum leading enterprises decreased by 0.3 percentage points to 58.6%, and is expected to decline slightly in October [11] Inventory - **Electrolytic Aluminum**: The social inventory of electrolytic aluminum ingots was 626,000 tons, a decrease of about 4% from last week and about 3% from the same period last year. The supply pressure of aluminum ingots is limited. The inventory of aluminum rods was 143,100 tons, an increase of about 2% from last week and about 8% from the same period last year. The LME aluminum inventory decreased by about 3% from last week and about 36% from the same period last year, and is expected to remain low [11][17] Profit and Market Expectation - **Alumina Profit**: The average full - cost of the domestic alumina industry is about 2,860 yuan/ton, and the profit is about 20 yuan/ton [12] - **Electrolytic Aluminum Profit**: The average production cost of domestic electrolytic aluminum is about 17,000 yuan/ton, and the theoretical profit is about 3,800 yuan/ton [12] - **Market Expectation**: The market is likely to continue the high - level bullish oscillation at the beginning of the week. However, the downstream's willingness to chase high prices is insufficient after "Silver October" is half over. There is a risk of the price rising and then falling [12] 3.4 Important Industrial Link Price Changes - The prices of bauxite remained stable overall. The price of alumina continued to decline in an oscillatory manner. The price of thermal coal increased due to safety inspections and early heating in the north. The prices of electrolytic aluminum and alloys were adjusted to some extent [13][14] 3.5 Important Industrial Link Inventory Changes - The inventory of imported bauxite at domestic ports increased slightly, and the supply is abundant. The overall inventory of alumina continued to accumulate. The inventory of electrolytic aluminum ingots decreased, and the inventory of aluminum rods increased. The LME aluminum inventory decreased [15][17] 3.6 Supply - Demand Situation - The operating rate of domestic aluminum downstream processing leading enterprises remained stable at 62.5%. The production of primary aluminum alloys was stable, while the procurement of aluminum plate and strip enterprises was cautious. The aluminum cable and wire industry was suppressed by multiple factors. The demand for aluminum profiles was weak, and the export of aluminum foil was affected by sanctions. The demand for recycled aluminum was weak [25] 3.7 Futures - Spot Structure - The current futures price structure of Shanghai aluminum is weak [31] 3.8 Spread Structure - The spread between aluminum ingots and ADC12 was about - 2,160 yuan/ton. The current spread between primary aluminum and alloys is at a relatively low level in recent years and has a moderately positive impact on electrolytic aluminum [38][39] 3.9 Market Capital Situation - **LME Aluminum**: The net long position continued to rise and is near the high level since April 2022. The long - position camp has been increasing positions since June, and the short - position camp has been on the sidelines since October [41] - **SHFE Electrolytic Aluminum**: The net long position of the main contract increased slightly. The long - position camp increased positions slightly, and the short - position camp remained stable. The net long position of funds mainly for financial speculation increased slightly [44]
