1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - For aluminum, it maintains a convergent oscillation pattern with volatility at a historical low. There is no bearish view on industrial metals currently, and the core strategy for aluminum is to wait for buying opportunities on price dips, unless subsequent inventory accumulation is excessive. The market lacks a smooth trading logic, leading to a decline in overall market positions and extremely low volatility. Attention should be paid to the duration of low volatility, and there will be opportunities to re - enter long - volatility positions in the future [3]. - For alumina, there are obvious differences in market views. Although some expect a significant relaxation of available spot goods around mid - August, there may be uncertainties. The market is also waiting for potential short - term production cuts in northern capacities in late August. It is believed that alumina may reach a certain balance at the current price level in the short term, but caution is needed if the spot price confirms an inflection point [4]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Trading End: Spreads, Volume, and Positions 3.1.1 Term Spreads - This week, the spot premium of A00 aluminum weakened.

As of August 8, the total operating capacity of national alumina was 95.8 million tons, with a week - on - week increase of 1.2 million tons in weekly operating capacity. This week, the domestic metallurgical - grade alumina output was 1.851 million tons, a week - on - week increase of 4,000 tons, remaining at a high level in recent years. The short - term supply - side loosening pattern of alumina has not been reversed, and alumina prices may continue to be under pressure [71]. 3.3.3 Electrolytic Aluminum - As of July, the operating capacity of electrolytic aluminum remained at a high level, and the capacity utilization rate remained high due to profit recovery. As of August 7, the weekly output of electrolytic aluminum under the Steel Union data was 845,900 tons, a week - on - week increase of 50 tons, maintaining a high level in the past six years. With the terminal consumption entering the off - season, the aluminum - water ratio has a seasonal decline, and the ingot - casting volume of aluminum ingots is expected to continue to increase month - on - month, potentially increasing supply pressure [76]. 3.3.4 Downstream Processing - This week, the output of recycled aluminum rods decreased by 730 tons week - on - week. The load of aluminum rod plants decreased slightly week - on - week, and the weekly output of aluminum rods decreased by 2,800 tons week - on - week. The output of aluminum plate - foil decreased slightly by 3,250 tons week - on - week. - This week, the operating rate of domestic aluminum downstream leading enterprises increased slightly by 0.1% to 58.7%. There was a divergence in operating rates due to insufficient orders during the traditional off - season. The operating rate of aluminum plates remained flat, with enterprises reporting a significant decline in export orders in July. The operating rate of aluminum foils remained flat, mainly affected by weak terminal demand, export decline, and summer high - temperature holidays, with the industry operating at a low level. - The operating rate of aluminum profiles decreased slightly. Although some enterprises had new orders for automotive aluminum, the building materials sector continued to be weak, and the order volume in the photovoltaic sector continued to decline, putting pressure on enterprise operations. The operating rate of aluminum cables increased slightly, but the speed of matching orders from the State Grid was still slow, and the procurement rhythm slowed down significantly. The operating rate of recycled aluminum alloys remained flat, affected by the off - season effect, low - price supply shocks, and potential production cuts by terminal automobile enterprises due to high - temperature holidays or inventory pressure. The operating rate of primary aluminum alloys increased slightly, as surplus aluminum water was mostly used for the production of primary aluminum alloys under the requirement of aluminum - water alloying [79][80][85]. 3.4 Profit: Alumina, Electrolytic Aluminum, and Processed Materials 3.4.1 Alumina - This week, the alumina profit decreased slightly. The profit of metallurgical - grade alumina under the Steel Union data was 418 yuan/ton, and the smelting profit continued to recover. The alumina profits in Shandong, Shanxi, and Henan remained stable, and the profit in Guangxi was better due to relatively firm cost [87]. 3.4.2 Electrolytic Aluminum - Electrolytic aluminum profit remains at a high level. However, the complex global macro - economic situation, overseas geopolitical conflicts leading to increased risk - aversion sentiment, and the volatility of trade policies have increased uncertainties and disrupted market expectations [97]. 3.4.3 Downstream Processing - In terms of downstream processing profit, the aluminum rod processing fee decreased slightly by 50 yuan/ton week - on - week, and the downstream processing profit remains at a low level [98]. 3.5 Consumption: Import Profit and Loss, Export Profit and Loss, and Apparent Demand 3.5.1 Import Profit and Loss - The import profit and loss of alumina and SHFE aluminum have widened [107]. 3.5.2 Export - In July 2025, the export of unwrought aluminum and aluminum products increased slightly by 52,000 tons month - on - month.
