The aluminum price is supported by macro factors, and its upward potential depends on the inventory drawdown [6]. - Alumina has a low - price spot market, and electrolytic aluminum plants are actively purchasing. However, the supply - demand surplus persists, and cost and supply factors put pressure on prices, with current valuations being low [7][8].
