Report Industry Investment Rating - No specific industry investment rating is provided in the report. Core Views - The price of finished steel is expected to move in a range-bound manner, with its center of gravity shifting downward and showing a weak performance. The price of aluminum ingots is expected to fluctuate strongly in the short term, supported by low inventory and the impact of the rainy season in Guinea, but limited by the off-season pressure on the demand side [1][2][3]. Summary by Relevant Content Finished Steel - Yunnan and Guizhou short - process construction steel producers will mostly shut down for maintenance from mid - to late January, with a resumption of production expected between the 11th and 16th day of the first lunar month, affecting a total of 741,000 tons of construction steel output during the shutdown. In Anhui, 1 out of 6 short - process steel mills stopped production on January 5, and most of the rest will stop around mid - January, with an estimated daily output reduction of about 16,200 tons for some steel mills [1][2]. - 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 week and a 43.2% increase year - on - year [2]. - The price of finished steel continued to decline yesterday, reaching a new low. In the context of weak supply and demand, market sentiment is pessimistic, leading to a continuous downward shift in the price center. The winter storage this year is sluggish, providing little support for prices [2]. Aluminum Ingots - According to data on June 20, the weekly arrival of bauxite at domestic ports was 4.2009 million tons, a decrease of 38,000 tons from the previous week. The weekly departure of bauxite from major ports in Guinea was 3.0638 million tons, a decrease of 1.0108 million tons from the previous week. The impact of the rainy season in Guinea on shipments is expected to gradually emerge in late June [2]. - In early June, the off - season atmosphere in the downstream aluminum processing industry was strong, with the weekly operating rate dropping 0.6 percentage points to 59.8% from the previous week. As of June 19, the inventory of electrolytic aluminum ingots in domestic main consumption areas was 449,000 tons, a decrease of 9,000 tons from Monday and 11,000 tons from last Thursday. Year - on - year, it decreased by 307,000 tons compared to last year and 69,000 tons compared to 2023, remaining at a near - three - year low [2]. - There is a slight expectation of an increase in the proportion of molten aluminum in June. The overall low domestic ingot casting volume is expected to maintain the inventory decline trend. However, due to the expectation of some aluminum plants to increase ingot casting, there has been a slight increase in supply and shipments in the northwest, and due to price differences, inter - regional transfers have increased the arrival volume this week, relieving the tight supply of marketable goods to some extent [2]. - The high - level and strong operation of aluminum prices will inevitably suppress domestic demand during the off - season, and the outbound volume is expected to weaken, resulting in a slowdown in the overall domestic inventory decline in the second half of the month [2]. - Overseas macro instability persists. The current low inventory and the expectation of a higher proportion of molten aluminum provide strong support for aluminum prices. The impact of the rainy season in Guinea is gradually reflected in ore prices, but the off - season pressure on the demand side limits the upward space. Aluminum prices are expected to fluctuate strongly in the short term [3].

Report Investment Rating - The report does not provide an overall industry investment rating. Core Views - The finished steel is expected to be in a state of shock consolidation [2]. - The aluminum ingot price is expected to run in a short - term range, and attention should be paid to macro - sentiment and downstream start - up [3]. Summary by Related Content Finished Steel - During the Spring Festival, short - process construction steel enterprises in Yunnan and Guizhou regions will stop production and overhaul from mid - January, and the resumption time is around the 11th to 16th day of the first lunar month, with an estimated impact on the total construction steel output of 741,000 tons. In Anhui, 6 short - process steel mills, 1 stopped production on January 5, and most of the rest will stop around mid - January, with an estimated daily output impact of about 16,200 tons [1][2]. - From December 30, 2024, to January 5, 2025, the 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 week and a 43.2% increase year - on - year [2]. - The finished steel continued to decline in shock yesterday, reaching a new low. In the pattern of weak supply and demand, the market sentiment is pessimistic, and the price center of gravity continues to move down. This year's winter storage is sluggish, and the price support is weak [2]. Aluminum Ingot - Overseas data shows that the better - than - expected employment growth in the US in May indicates that the Fed may wait longer to cut interest rates. After the data was released, the financial market bet that the Fed would not cut interest rates until September and would cut them twice in 2025, reducing the bet on a third rate cut [1]. - As of this Thursday, the total built - in production capacity of metallurgical alumina in China is 110.82 million tons/year, and the total operating production capacity is 87.27 million tons/year. The weekly start - up rate of alumina increased by 0.54 percentage points to 78.75% compared with last week [2]. - In June, the off - season atmosphere of downstream aluminum processing is strong, and the weekly start - up rate decreased by 0.4 percentage points to 60.9% compared with last week. The aluminum cable and wire sector is weak, and attention should be paid to the next delivery cycle and market segment orders [2]. - On June 5, the inventory of electrolytic aluminum ingots in domestic mainstream consumption areas was 504,000 tons, a decrease of 15,000 tons from the beginning of the week and 7,000 tons from last Thursday. The post - holiday inventory accumulation is controllable, and the inventory is expected to continue to decline in the short term [2].
