Core Viewpoint - The recent missile and drone attacks on aluminum plants in Bahrain and the UAE have significantly impacted global aluminum supply, shifting the situation from logistical disruptions to a dual pressure of capacity damage and raw material chain limitations [4][39]. Group 1: Incident Overview - On March 28, 2026, the Askar aluminum plant in Bahrain and the Al Taweelah aluminum plant in the UAE were attacked, with respective annual capacities of 1.6 million tons and 1.5 million tons [4][8]. - The Al Taweelah complex has reported severe damage, likely indicating a scenario of substantial operational disruption [39]. Group 2: Impact Scenarios - Three scenarios were analyzed regarding the potential impact on production: - **Scenario A**: Minor damage to auxiliary equipment, leading to a production decrease of 112,500 tons, shifting global supply from a surplus of 170,000 tons to a surplus of 50,000 tons [6][34]. - **Scenario B**: Damage to core electrical systems, resulting in a production decrease of 750,000 tons, potentially extending the recovery period to 6-12 months [29][39]. - **Scenario C**: Significant damage to electrolytic cells, leading to a production decrease of 2.3 million tons, with a shift from a surplus to a shortage of 2.13 million tons [6][34]. Group 3: Regional Aluminum Industry Context - In 2025, the Middle East's six countries produced 6.927 million tons of electrolytic aluminum, accounting for approximately 9.25% of global production and 23.4% of non-Chinese production [9]. - The region's aluminum industry benefits from energy and port advantages, with significant reliance on imports of alumina and bauxite through the Strait of Hormuz [9]. Group 4: Market Implications - The attacks are expected to provide stronger support for aluminum prices, with a potential divergence in the domestic and international aluminum markets, characterized by tight external conditions and looser internal conditions [39]. - The aluminum market will need to closely monitor the actual production disruptions resulting from the attacks [39].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. 2. Core Views of the Report - Aluminum price high volatility may become the norm. The market anticipates and fully prices in expectations in advance, and it's easy to misstep the rhythm if chasing after the reality materializes. It's advisable to adopt a box strategy and conduct timely high - selling and low - buying [4]. - The impact of unexpected production cuts and shutdowns on supply far exceeds the new production stimulated by high profits, and the gap in the balance sheet may further widen this year [4]. - The expected scale of Russian aluminum inflow is downgraded, and the domestic net import situation is expected to ease [4]. - The rhythm of automobile production and sales at the beginning of the year is similar to that in 2024, and policies are expected to play a role during the year [4]. - For unilateral trading, the second quarter may be a consolidation period for aluminum prices, and it's advisable to allocate and increase aluminum assets in advance [4]. - For arbitrage, when there are expectations of energy disturbances, it's recommended to first focus on cross - market arbitrage opportunities and then on arbitrage opportunities among domestic non - ferrous metal varieties [4]. - For cross - variety arbitrage, the long - term copper - aluminum price ratio is expected to rise, and the zinc - aluminum price ratio is expected to fall. When short - term conflict expectations decline, attention can be paid to reverse opportunities in the price ratio [4]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 This Year's Trading Precautions - Commodity high volatility may become the norm. The market anticipates and fully prices in expectations in advance. In the aluminum market, there are cases such as the market speculating on the expectation of Middle - East production cuts in advance and the market not following through on supply - side positive news after an actual production cut [10]. - Pay attention to the periodic counter - trend of the macro - environment. The long - term upward - driving logic of aluminum remains unchanged, but when the market's consistent expectations are too high and hot money floods in, sharp retracements should be expected [13]. 3.2 Supply: Unexpected Production Cuts > Stimulated Restarts - Overseas aluminum plants have seen more unexpected production cuts and shutdowns than profit - stimulated early restarts this year. For example, plants in Qatar, Bahrain, and Mozambique have experienced production cuts or shutdowns, while some plants in Norway, Iceland, etc. have restarted production [15][19][20]. - Supply - side disturbances are long - term risks. Aluminum is highly sensitive to energy supply, and energy shocks can have a significant impact on aluminum production. The current energy situation is different from that in 2022, and the impact of the current geopolitical situation on aluminum prices is expected to be less than that of the Russia - Ukraine war in 2022 [24]. 3.3 Cross - Variety Arbitrage - In the long - term, the copper - aluminum price ratio is expected to rise and the zinc - aluminum price ratio is expected to fall. Aluminum is short in supply due to policy constraints, while copper and zinc are constrained by the shortage of ore. In the energy shock window, the price ratio trends may reverse temporarily. The zinc - aluminum price ratio is expected to decline in the long - term, and aluminum prices are expected to exceed zinc prices gradually [33][36]. 3.4 Cross - Market Arbitrage - The supply pattern of overseas shortage and domestic surplus makes cross - market arbitrage the optimal strategy when overseas electrolytic aluminum plants face supply disturbances. Historical data shows that when European aluminum plants cut production due to rising natural gas prices, the cross - market price ratio dropped and then gradually recovered [40]. 3.5 Balance Sheet: Widening Gap - Due to unexpected production cuts caused by the US - Iran conflict, the expected increase in overseas electrolytic aluminum production this year is revised downwards. The global and overseas electrolytic aluminum balance sheet gaps are expected to further widen. The peak of production capacity investment will occur in the first half of the year, and the production growth rate will slow down in the second half of the year, while demand is expected to pick up seasonally [42][44]. 3.6 Cost: Rising in the Second Quarter - The price of alumina is expected to decline due to the release of new production capacity but will remain higher than in the first quarter due to the stable and rising ore prices. As a result, the cost of electrolytic aluminum is expected to rise in the second quarter [48]. 3.7 Import: Downgraded Expectation of Russian Aluminum Inflow - Russia is the main source of China's aluminum ingot imports. Since February this year, the inflow of Russian aluminum has decreased year - on - year, and the scale of Russian aluminum imports for the whole year is expected to be downgraded. Although the import of aluminum ingots from Indonesia is expected to increase, it cannot fully make up for the reduction in Russian aluminum imports [54]. 3.8 Demand: Upgraded Forecast of Aluminum Product Exports - **Automobile**: The annual growth rate of automobile production is expected to be around 5%. The high - speed growth of automobile exports in the first two months of this year is expected to continue. The production rhythm this year is similar to that in 2024, and if the market faces excessive downward pressure, new policies are expected to be introduced [59][65]. - **Export**: The export of aluminum products at the beginning of the year was remarkable. The export structure shows that the growth rate of aluminum products has exceeded that of aluminum materials, and the export of terminal products such as wheels is stable. The net export growth rate of aluminum products for the whole year is expected to be upgraded to 15% [68].

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content Core Viewpoints of the Report - The global electrolytic aluminum market remains in a tight balance, with a risk of the supply-demand gap widening. The recommended strategy is to buy on dips and take profits on sharp rallies, with the price expected to range between 22,000 - 25,000 [58]. Summary by Related Catalogs Aluminum Ore - Overseas - In Q2 2026, the long - term contract price of bauxite from Guinea is $70 per dry ton. In January - February 2026, bauxite imports increased by 18.7% year - on - year, and the ocean freight rate soared to $31 per ton [6][11]. - In 2026, overseas bauxite supply will grow rapidly, with an expected supply increase of 3000 - 4000 tons. The supply will be in excess, and the price is expected to decline. The price of bauxite in Q2 2026 is expected to range from $65 - 75 [14]. Aluminum Ore - Domestic - In January - February 2026, the domestic bauxite production increased by 6.2% year - on - year. The domestic bauxite supply is expected to remain tight in 2026, and the price will rise slightly in Q2 [19]. Alumina - Domestic - In January - February 2026, domestic alumina production increased by 4.2% year - on - year. As of the end of March, the alumina production capacity was 114.62 million tons, with an operating capacity of 93.75 million tons and an operating rate of 81.8% [26]. - Due to continuous losses and supply disruptions from a major manufacturer, the domestic alumina surplus situation improved in Q1 2026 but still showed a slight surplus [29]. - In 2026, nearly 10 million tons of new domestic alumina projects are planned, with the Q1 production postponed to Q2. The domestic alumina over - capacity pressure remains high [31]. Alumina - Overseas - In 2026, there are still many overseas alumina projects to be launched. The overseas alumina supply remains in surplus, and the supply surplus pressure increases due to a large number of overseas electrolytic aluminum production cuts [33]. Alumina - Strategy - The alumina industry is in a cost - pricing cycle. The high - cost projects in Shanxi and Henan need to exit to restore the supply - demand balance. The Q2 alumina futures price is expected to range from 2700 - 3300 yuan/ton. It is recommended to short on rallies and pay attention to the possible cycle reversal driven by anti - involution policies [38]. Electrolytic Aluminum - In January - February 2026, domestic electrolytic aluminum production was 7.304 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 3.25%. The net import of aluminum ingots was 367,000 tons, an increase of 17,000 tons compared to the same period last year [43]. - In 2026, domestic electrolytic aluminum supply exceeded expectations, with more new capacity put into production in Q2, increasing the supply pressure [45]. - In 2025, overseas electrolytic aluminum production was 29.6 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 2.1%. In 2026, it was 29.3 million tons, a year - on - year decrease of 1.0% due to supply disruptions in the Middle East [47]. Consumption - In 2025, the demand for electrolytic aluminum increased by 890,000 tons, a year - on - year increase of 2.1%. In 2026, the demand increased by 970,000 tons, a year - on - year increase of 2.1%. In January - February 2026, the domestic electrolytic aluminum demand growth rate was - 0.77%. Power, energy storage, and exports performed well, while the automotive, photovoltaic, and real - estate sectors performed poorly [51]. Balance Sheet & Core Viewpoints - Macro: Geopolitical issues in the Middle East have raised oil prices and inflation expectations. Under tightening expectations, US AI stocks have fallen, and macro funds have left the market. Attention should be paid to the long - term decline in demand [58]. - Fundamentals: Electrolytic aluminum production cuts in the Middle East have significantly compressed the global electrolytic aluminum supply. Although demand faces long - term downward risks, it still shows short - term resilience. The global electrolytic aluminum market remains in a tight balance, and the supply - demand gap may widen. High domestic inventories suppress prices, while overseas inventories are relatively tight [58]. - Strategy: Buy on dips and take profits on sharp rallies. Keep rolling operations within the price range of 22,000 - 25,000 [58].

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - Unilateral: Aluminum: Cautiously bullish; Alumina: Cautiously bullish; Aluminum alloy: Cautiously bullish. Arbitrage: Neutral [9] Group 2: Core Viewpoints - Long - term fundamentals of aluminum are still optimistic, although there are short - term concerns about domestic export markets due to transportation disruptions in the Middle East. For alumina, the price will fluctuate with crude oil prices in the short term and the price center will rise in the long term due to raw material disturbances [6][8] Group 3: Summary of Key Data Aluminum Spot - On March 30, 2026, the price of East China A00 aluminum was 24,530 yuan/ton, a change of 720 yuan/ton from the previous trading day; the spot premium and discount of East China aluminum was - 90 yuan/ton, with no change from the previous trading day.

As of now, the production cut in the Middle East has exceeded 2 million tons, and there may be further production cuts due to raw material or energy supply problems. Overseas consumption has not been substantially affected, overseas inventory is still declining, and the LME premium is rising. Although the Middle East issue is not resolved, the market sentiment is becoming more stable. The downstream purchasing enthusiasm has increased, and the inventory of aluminum rods and aluminum alloy has decreased, laying the foundation for the future destocking of aluminum ingots [6] Alumina - In Guangxi, two transactions on the same day were at 2,870 yuan/ton and 2,730 yuan/ton, with trading volumes of 3,000 tons and 5,000 tons respectively. The export limit policy of bauxite in Guinea is not clear. One large - scale mine has stopped one excavator, reducing the daily output by 9,000 tons. The policy may support the cost. The supply of alumina is still in surplus, the social inventory is slightly rising, and the domestic and foreign market prices are strengthening. In the short term, the alumina price fluctuates with the crude oil price, and in the long term, the price center will rise due to raw material disturbances [7][8]
