1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the content. 2. Core View of the Report - This week, aluminum prices fluctuated within a narrow range, with the main contract of Shanghai Aluminum slightly declining throughout the week, and the spot market showing marginal improvement. Looking ahead, the marginal deterioration of the trade situation will suppress market sentiment, while the high probability of interest rate cuts provides emotional support. From an industrial perspective, the operating capacity of electrolytic aluminum is stable, with limited marginal increase in supply.
