其次，大摩还指出，供应面临挑战。在新的供应方面，大摩预计2026年全球产量将达到约140万吨。印 度尼西亚是一个重要的新供应来源国，它拥有铝土矿、煤炭和氧化铝，因此是铝的理想产地。然而，中 国在2021年承诺不会在境外新建任何火力发电设施，以实现碳中和目标。中国企业将需要找到当地的合 作伙伴为其提供电力。电力建设可能需要相当长的时间，即18至24个月。因此，尽管印度尼西亚有大量 铝产能的建设规划，但实际产量却相当缓慢。大摩估计2026年印度尼西亚的新增供应量仅为70万吨。此 外，由于电力问题导致了供应风险，今年全球范围内出现了几次生产中断事件，约70万吨的产能。因 此，大摩预计2026年全球将出现供应短缺。 此外，库存也非常低。目前中国铝的库存仅为60万吨，与过去五年的历史水平相比相对较低。此外，政 府鼓励将熔融铝的比例从目前的约77%提高到2027年的90%，这可能会导致期货市场上可交付的铝锭减 少，从而支撑铝价。 首先，大摩表示，中国铝的需求将因ESS及其他消费电子产品而实现显著增长：随着ESS的增长速度大 幅加快，其使用的铝量也在增加。6月份，ESS在中国整体电池装机量中的占比仅为25%，但此后已增 长 ...

智通财经APP获悉，摩根士丹利发布研报，认为铝业的前景已有所改善，这得益于储能系统(ESS)带来 的需求远超其预期，以及电力问题带来的供应挑战。因此，大摩目前预计中国宏桥(01378)盈利将有更 大的增长空间。在此基础上，大摩将中国宏桥目标价从30.6港元上调至44.7港元，并重申为首选股与"增 持"评级。 其次，大摩还指出，供应面临挑战。在新的供应方面，大摩预计 2026 年全球产量将达到约 140万吨。 印度尼西亚是一个重要的新供应来源国，它拥有铝土矿、煤炭和氧化铝，因此是铝的理想产地。然而， 中国在 2021 年承诺不会在境外新建任何火力发电设施，以实现碳中和目标。中国企业将需要找到当地 的合作伙伴为其提供电力。电力建设可能需要相当长的时间，即 18 至 24 个月。因此，尽管印度尼西亚 有大量铝产能的建设规划，但实际产量却相当缓慢。大摩估计 2026 年印度尼西亚的新增供应量仅为70 万吨。此外，由于电力问题导致了供应风险，今年全球范围内出现了几次生产中断事件，约70万吨的产 能。因此，大摩预计 2026 年全球将出现供应短缺。 此外，库存也非常低。目前中国铝的库存仅为60万吨，与过去五年的历史水平相 ...
