Report Summary 1) Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. 2) Core Views - For building materials, it is expected to move in a volatile and consolidating manner [2]. - For aluminum ingots, the price is expected to be strongly volatile in the short - term, and attention should be paid to macro - sentiment and mining news [3]. 3) Summary by Related Content Building Materials - **Production suspension situation**: In the Yunnan - Guizhou region, short - process construction steel producers' suspension time during the Spring Festival is mostly in mid - to late January, with resumption expected between the 11th and 16th day of the first lunar month, affecting a total output of 741,000 tons. In Anhui, 1 out of 6 short - process steel mills stopped production on January 5, and most of the rest will stop around mid - January, with an expected daily output impact of about 16,200 tons during the suspension [1][2]. - **Real estate transaction data**: From December 30, 2024, to January 5, 2025, the total transaction (signing) area of newly - built commercial housing in 10 key cities was 2.234 million square meters, a 40.3% decrease from the previous period and a 43.2% increase year - on - year [2]. - **Market situation**: The price of building materials continued to decline and reached a new low recently. In the pattern of weak supply and demand, market sentiment was pessimistic, and the price center continued to move down. This year's winter storage was sluggish, with weak price support [2]. - **Follow - up focus**: Macro - policies and downstream demand [2]. Aluminum Ingots - **Macro - situation**: After US President Trump dismissed a Federal Reserve governor, market confidence in the Fed wavered. Fed Chair Powell hinted at a possible rate cut in September, and the market currently expects an over 87% chance of a 25 - basis - point rate cut in September [1]. - **Demand situation**: The demand side is the core concern. Some enterprises have started to stock up for the peak - season orders. The overall operating rate of domestic aluminum downstream processing leading enterprises increased by 0.8 percentage points to 59.5% last week. Different sub - sectors showed varying degrees of change, with some increasing and the regenerative aluminum operating rate slightly decreasing by 0.1 percentage points to 53.0% [2]. - **Inventory situation**: The social inventory of aluminum ingots in the main consumption areas increased by 4,500 tons to 463,500 tons on Tuesday. The traditional off - season led to weak demand and continuous inventory accumulation. Holders were not optimistic about the future premium and actively sold, suppressing the spot premium [2]. - **Market outlook**: The price is expected to run at a high level recently, and attention should be paid to the inventory - consumption trend. The off - season and its actual impact will still put pressure on the upside [3]. - **Follow - up focus**: Macro - expectation changes, geopolitical crisis development, mining resumption, and consumption release [3].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided in the content 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - For alumina, the rising prices of alumina, domestic and imported bauxite push up production costs. The decline in domestic alumina operating capacity cannot change the loose supply - demand expectation, suggesting limited upside for alumina prices. Investors are advised to wait and watch, focusing on the support level around 2800 - 3000 and the resistance level around 3300 - 3600 [2]. - For electrolytic aluminum, the increasing expectation of the Fed's interest rate cut in September, the expected shift from the traditional domestic consumption off - season, and the low domestic electrolytic aluminum social inventory may lead to a strong upward trend in electrolytic aluminum prices. Investors are recommended to go long on the main contract with a light position on dips, paying attention to the support level around 20200 - 20400 and the resistance level around 21000 - 21500. For LME aluminum, focus on the support level around 2300 - 2500 and the resistance level around 2700 - 2800 [2]. - For aluminum alloy, the increasing expectation of the Fed's interest rate cut in September and the tight supply of scrap aluminum leading to near - loss in recycled aluminum alloy production may cause aluminum alloy prices to be cautiously strong. Investors are advised to go long on the main contract with a light position on dips or short the spread between electrolytic aluminum and aluminum alloy on rallies, focusing on the support level around 19800 - 20000 and the resistance level around 20300 - 20500 [2]. 3.

After completion, it will have an annual production capacity of 80,000 tons of aluminum alloy melting and processing [2]. Market Analysis - In the alumina market, U.S. companies are actively buying scrap aluminum due to tariff exemptions, leading to fierce competition in overseas scrap aluminum procurement. Geopolitical conflicts and illegal smuggling in Southeast Asia may cause a continuous decline in scrap aluminum exports to China until the end of 2025 or early 2026. The domestic price difference of precision aluminum is positive and decreasing month - on - month, which may lead to a decrease (increase) in China's scrap aluminum production (import) in August [2]. - In the electrolytic aluminum market, the domestic electrolytic aluminum social inventory is still at a low level, and the price trend is expected to be strong [2]. - In the aluminum alloy market, the tight supply of scrap aluminum makes the production of recycled aluminum alloy close to a loss, and the price trend is expected to be cautiously strong [2].
