Group 1 - The recent inspection of outdated capacity in the petrochemical industry has reinforced market expectations for alumina production cuts, with 45% of alumina production facilities being over 10 years old [1] - Despite the clear oversupply in the alumina industry and the necessity for capacity clearance, the actual scale of capacity exit is expected to be limited due to high integration among enterprises and a long-term pricing model [1][4] - The alumina industry is still in an expansion phase, with new capacity expected to exceed 13 million tons in 2025, despite the implementation of stricter capacity approval processes [1][2] Group 2 - The Guinean government has suspended aluminum ore exports from EGA and revoked mining licenses, but the main goal is to regulate mining activities rather than to prohibit them [2] - The Guinean mining policy emphasizes "resource for industry," requiring mining companies to build alumina refineries locally and mandating that 50% of bauxite exports be transported by local shipping companies [2] - The impact of Guinean policies on bauxite export volumes is expected to be limited in the short term, with local alumina capacity anticipated to materialize mainly after 2026 [2] Group 3 - China's dependence on imported bauxite is approximately 75%, with 70% of imports coming from Guinea, making changes in Guinean policy significant for domestic supply [3] - Despite seasonal fluctuations in bauxite shipments during the rainy season, domestic inventory levels remain high, with port inventories reaching 28.44 million tons, sufficient to meet four months of consumption [3] - The increase in domestic bauxite inventory is expected to offset the impact of seasonal shipment declines from Guinea, maintaining stable raw material supply and cost prices [3] Group 4 - The continuous increase in spot inventory and the decline in warehouse receipts are contributing to the rise in alumina prices, with recent futures price increases likely to enhance registration willingness for warehouse receipts [4] - As of July 18, domestic alumina inventory reached 3.989 million tons, continuing an upward trend, while production is also on the rise [4] - Short-term bullish factors for alumina are concentrated, but the medium-term outlook remains uncertain due to the persistent oversupply situation in the industry [4]

Group 1: Report's Investment Rating for the Industry - No information provided on the industry investment rating Group 2: Core Views of the Report - The market's reaction to "anti - involution" and the elimination of old - fashioned production capacity has been overheated, and there is a need for sentiment adjustment. The upward pressure on alumina futures at high levels has increased. However, the short - term supply and demand fundamentals are stable, the warehouse receipt inventory is still at a low level, and the low warehouse receipts may limit the decline of alumina prices next week when entering the delivery month [2][6] - The supply of alumina in the south has become more tight due to the short - term maintenance of two roasting furnaces in a southwestern alumina plant, while the supply in the north is relatively loose. The theoretical starting capacity of electrolytic aluminum has increased slightly, and the acceptance of high - priced alumina by electrolytic aluminum plants has improved, leading to a slight improvement in consumption. Spot holders are strongly supporting prices, and the spot price continues to rise [2][6] Group 3: Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1. Transaction Data | Data Type | 2025/7/18 | 2025/7/25 | Change | Unit | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Alumina Futures (Active) | 3133 | 3428 | 295 | yuan/ton | | Domestic Alumina Spot | 3202 | 3255 | 53 | yuan/ton | | Spot Premium | 51 | - 172 | - 223 | yuan/ton | | Australian Alumina FOB | 368 | 376 | 8 | US dollars/ton | | Import Profit and Loss | - 85.12 | - 138.62 | - 53.5 | yuan/ton | | Exchange Warehouse Inventory | 6922 | 9031 | 2109 | tons | | Exchange Factory Warehouse | 0 | 0 | 0 | tons | | Bauxite (Shanxi, 6.0 ≤ Al/Si < 7.0) | 600 | 600 | 0 | yuan/ton | | Bauxite (Henan, 6.0 ≤ Al/Si < 7.0) | 610 | 610 | 0 | yuan/ton | | Bauxite (Guangxi, 6.5 ≤ Al/Si < 7.5) | 460 | 460 | 0 | yuan/ton | | Bauxite (Guizhou, 6.5 ≤ Al/Si < 7.5) | 510 | 510 | 0 | yuan/ton | | Guinea CIF | 73 | 73 | 0 | US dollars/ton | [3] 2.

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Ratings No specific industry investment ratings are provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints - In the context of anti - involution narratives and expectations of incremental policies, the overall stock and commodity markets remain strong, while long - term bonds are under pressure. The market is affected by factors such as trade negotiations, central bank policies, and supply - demand relationships in different sectors [2]. 3. Summary by Categories Equity Index - There is an obvious high - low rotation among sectors. It is recommended to gradually take profits on long positions in IM futures and switch to a small amount of short positions in put options on MO with a strike price of 6000 in the 08 contract, and reduce positions, maintaining a moderately bullish stance. On the unilateral strategy, it is advisable to stay on the sidelines in the short term and pay attention to the capital situation and incremental policies [2]. Treasury Bonds - The risk assets suppress long - term bonds. With the tightening of the capital market, the short - selling sentiment in the bond futures market has increased, and the redemption pressure on bond funds may start to rise, which still suppresses the bond market. In terms of the curve strategy, it is possible to continue to bet on the steepening [2]. Precious Metals - Gold is supported by the weakening of the US dollar's credit and its commodity attributes, and it oscillates above the 60 - day moving average. Silver has further upside potential due to the general rise of domestic industrial products and capital inflows, and long positions can be held. Gold continues to correct as the European Central Bank pauses rate cuts for the first time in a year and the risk - aversion sentiment eases [2]. Shipping Index (European Line) - The EC main contract rebounds slightly. With the increasing expectation of anti - involution, the price continues to oscillate strongly. It is recommended to hold short positions in the 08 contract or short the 10 contract at high prices [2]. Steel and Iron Ore - The iron ore has insufficient upward momentum as the molten iron output slightly decreases and the port inventory slightly increases. It is recommended to go long on coking coal and short on iron ore. The steel price continues to oscillate strongly, and long positions can be held [2]. Coking Coal and Coke - The expectation of production - restriction documents is rising, the resumption of coal mines is lagging, the spot market is strong, and the transaction is picking up. The third round of price increases by mainstream coking plants has started, and there is still an expectation of price increases. It is recommended to take profits on long positions step by step at high prices [2]. Non - ferrous Metals - Copper: The short - term sentiment fades, and high copper prices suppress demand. - Aluminum: The market sentiment is bullish, and the aluminum price oscillates at a high level, but the expectation of inventory accumulation in the off - season is still strong. - Other non - ferrous metals also have different market trends and corresponding trading suggestions based on factors such as macro - sentiment, inventory, and supply - demand [2]. Energy and Chemicals - Crude oil: The macro - sentiment eases, and the demand expectation recovers, pushing up the oil price. - Other energy and chemical products such as urea, PX, PTA, etc., have different market trends and trading suggestions according to factors such as supply - demand, macro - environment, and cost [2].

Special Commodities - Glass: The document on air pollution prevention boosts market sentiment, and the spot transaction is strong. - Rubber: The macro - sentiment is positive, and supply disruptions due to rainy weather in overseas production areas and conflicts between Thailand and Cambodia drive up the rubber price. - Other special commodities also have corresponding market trends and trading suggestions [2]. New Energy - Polysilicon futures oscillate and rise to a new high, but attention should be paid to the risk of a pullback due to the increase in warehouse receipts. - Recycled lithium: The market sentiment is boosted, but the fundamental change is not significant. It is recommended to be cautious and stay on the sidelines [2].

Summary of the Aluminum Oxide Industry Conference Call Industry Overview - The aluminum oxide industry has experienced significant price fluctuations, dropping from 5,850 RMB/ton to 2,850 RMB/ton in just over 40 days, leading to widespread production cuts and maintenance due to losses. [1][3] - New capacities, such as those from Weiqiao Jianghua, have started operations, resulting in a year-on-year production increase of 1.48 million tons in Q2. [1][3] - The demand for metallurgical-grade aluminum oxide reached 21.25 million tons in Q2, accounting for 94% of total production. [1][3] - The industry is currently facing a supply-demand gap of approximately 400,000 tons, with the spot market remaining tight as of July. [1][4] Key Points and Arguments - **Policy Changes**: The adjustment of the operational lifespan for old aluminum oxide facilities from 30 years to 20 years will impact some companies, but the actual effect is limited due to equipment upgrades. [1][9] - **Competition and Profitability**: The aluminum oxide industry is relatively healthy, maintaining an average profit of around 200 RMB per ton, significantly higher than the steel industry. [1][14] - **Import Dependency**: Domestic production relies heavily on imported bauxite, with a dependency rate of 70%. Changes in policies from major supplier Guinea pose potential risks. [1][15][16] - **New Capacity Additions**: Approximately 13 million tons of new aluminum oxide capacity is expected to be added by 2025, aimed at optimizing the industry structure without significantly altering overall market supply. [1][17] Additional Insights - **Supply and Demand Dynamics**: The domestic aluminum oxide supply is close to 94 million tons, while the demand for electrolytic aluminum is about 86 million tons, indicating a clear oversupply situation. [2][23] - **Production Costs**: The production cost for aluminum oxide using imported bauxite is around 75 USD per ton, with overall production costs ranging from 2,850 to 3,000 RMB. [20] - **Market Trends**: The recent price increases in the aluminum oxide market are driven by speculative trading and policy sentiments rather than fundamental supply-demand factors. [21] - **Future Price Predictions**: The expectation for aluminum oxide prices is upward, with an average price forecast of around 3,300 RMB/ton in August, although market adjustments may occur based on supply increases. [30] Conclusion - The aluminum oxide industry is navigating through a complex landscape of price volatility, policy changes, and supply-demand dynamics. The focus on upgrading production efficiency and managing import dependencies will be crucial for maintaining stability and profitability in the coming years. [12][13]

Report Summary 1. Investment Rating - No investment rating for the industry is provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints - Pay attention to the point when the supply of circulating spot goods eases and the change in the overall long - short sentiment of commodities. It is recommended to wait and see in the short term. Recently, the policy expectation of supply - side contraction has increased, the overall bullish sentiment in the commodity market is strong, and the low volume of alumina warehouse receipts registration has driven the short - term strength of futures prices. However, based on the current aluminum industry development plan and the energy consumption level of alumina equipment, it is expected that there will be no large - scale capacity elimination. Some device rectification plans may be implemented, but the impact on the supply side is expected to be limited. In the future, the implementation of supply - side policies still needs to be observed in the short term. The pattern of alumina over - capacity this year may still be difficult to change. With the continuous decline in the current warehouse receipt registration volume, there are uncertainties on both the long and short sides. It is recommended to wait and see in the short term. In the future, it is necessary to mainly track the point when the supply of circulating spot goods eases and the change in the overall long - short sentiment of commodities, and wait for the opportunity to lay out short positions. The reference operating range of the domestic main contract AO2509 is 3200 - 3700 yuan/ton. Attention should be paid to warehouse receipt registration, supply - side policies, and Guinea's ore policies [2][12]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 "Elimination of Backward Capacity" Policy Impact - The "anti - involution policy" introduced by relevant national departments has promoted a strong bullish sentiment in the commodity market, and the Wenhua Commodity Index has risen significantly out of the bottom shock range. The policy expectation has further strengthened, driving the alumina futures price to rise sharply with heavy volume on the night session of July 18. The current energy consumption standards for alumina plants are mainly based on the national standard GB21346 - 2022. Although some alumina production capacities have a long service life, most of them have been technically upgraded and replaced in recent years to meet the energy consumption benchmark level. For example, Chalco's alumina smelting energy consumption reached 100% of the energy - efficiency benchmark level in 2022, and Guangxi Guangtou's new project also has a very low comprehensive energy consumption. Weiqiao has also achieved low - energy consumption production through various measures. The "Aluminum Industry High - Quality Development Implementation Plan (2025 - 2027)" issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology at the beginning of the year has also set new standards for alumina projects. Based on the current aluminum industry development plan and the energy consumption level of alumina equipment, it is expected that there will be no large - scale capacity elimination, and some device rectification plans may be implemented, but the impact on the supply side is expected to be limited [5][6][7]. 3.2 Excess Supply - Demand Structure and Scarce Circulating Spot Goods - As of July 18, the latest weekly output of alumina reached 1.792 million tons, and the output rebounded to a new high this year. The total social inventory of alumina increased by 39,000 tons to 3.989 million tons compared with the previous week. Affected by factors such as over - selling by previous holders, unstable product quality, and overdue long - term order delivery, the finished product inventory of alumina plants has been directly transferred to downstream aluminum plants as raw material inventory, and the logistics and transportation in the northern region has been blocked, resulting in obvious backlogs of in - transit inventory. Therefore, the circulating spot goods in the market have been continuously tight. Affected by this, the alumina warehouse receipt registration volume has decreased for two consecutive months, and the current registered warehouse receipt volume is only 6,900 tons, a significant reduction from the previous high of 299,000 tons. In addition, the current inventory in the delivery warehouse is only 44,700 tons, with a large outflow compared with the previous period. Although the supply - demand structure remains in excess, the scarcity of circulating spot goods has led to more premium transactions, and the low warehouse receipt registration volume has intensified the delivery game on the capital side, driving the continuous strengthening of futures prices. Looking forward, the implementation of supply - side policies still needs to be observed in the short term. The pattern of alumina over - capacity this year may still be difficult to change, but with the continuous decline in the current warehouse receipt registration volume, there are uncertainties on both the long and short sides. It is recommended to wait and see in the short term. In the future, it is necessary to mainly track the point when the supply of circulating spot goods eases and the change in the overall long - short sentiment of commodities, and wait for the opportunity to lay out short positions. The reference operating range of the domestic main contract AO2509 is 3200 - 3700 yuan/ton, and attention should be paid to warehouse receipt registration, supply - side policies, and Guinea's ore policies [9][12].
