1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In the third quarter, the alumina ore price will continue to decline. The profit margin of alumina will lead to an oversupply situation, continuously suppressing the market. After the rainy season in Guinea arrives in September, the alumina supply - demand may enter a mismatch stage, and there may be an opportunity for the price to reach a high point. - In the third quarter, the ingot output of electrolytic aluminum will continue to decline. After the end of the export rush, combined with the decline in photovoltaic and automobile production schedules, the supply - demand will converge bidirectionally, forming a game. - It is expected that the aluminum price will first decline and then rise in the second half of the year, with the lowest point from July to August. The low inventory at home and abroad provides strong bottom support, and the possibility of a smooth decline is low. If consumption exceeds expectations, there may be a driving force for further upward movement. With the end of the Sino - US tariff relaxation period and the uncertain Middle East situation, there are many macro - uncertain risk factors, and the amplitude may widen. [4] 3.
