Investment Rating - The report maintains a "Recommended" rating for the aluminum industry [1] Core Views - The macroeconomic environment is favorable, with domestic policies remaining positive and downstream demand showing resilience. Aluminum ingots continue to demonstrate inventory reduction, while prices remain stable at high levels. However, as demand transitions into the off-season, there may be pressure on aluminum water conversion rates, necessitating ongoing monitoring of inventory performance [10] - The long-term outlook for the aluminum industry remains optimistic due to limited supply growth and potential demand increases, suggesting sustained high industry prosperity [10] Summary by Sections 1. Prices - As of December 19, the LME three-month aluminum closing price was $2,945.0 per ton, up $70.0 from the previous week, marking a 2.4% increase week-on-week and a 16.4% increase year-on-year [22] - The Shanghai aluminum active contract closing price was 22,185.0 yuan per ton, up 15.0 yuan from the previous week, reflecting a 0.1% week-on-week increase and an 11.3% year-on-year increase [22] - The average price of A00 aluminum in Changjiang was 21,840.0 yuan per ton, down 230.0 yuan from the previous week, a 1.0% decrease week-on-week, but up 10.6% year-on-year [22] 2. Production - In November 2025, the production of electrolytic aluminum was 3.637 million tons, a decrease of 106,000 tons month-on-month and a decrease of 1.8% year-on-year [53] - The production of alumina in November 2025 was 7.439 million tons, a decrease of 346,000 tons month-on-month, but an increase of 2.1% year-on-year [53] 3. Key Companies and Earnings Forecast - China Hongqiao (1378.HK): Price 28.74, EPS forecast for 2025E is 2.54, PE ratio 11.3, Investment rating: Buy [5] - Tianshan Aluminum (002532.SZ): Price 14.21, EPS forecast for 2025E is 1.00, PE ratio 14.2, Investment rating: Buy [5] - Shenhuo Co.

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the document Core Views of the Report - In 2026, the pricing logic of aluminum metals with imagination since the fourth quarter of this year will continue. Although the year - on - year growth rate of apparent demand for aluminum metals is expected to decline further, the report remains optimistic about the unilateral direction of aluminum prices, smelting profits of aluminum plants, and price volatility due to the likely low - growth global supply [1][54][315]. - For alumina, the market is likely to see over - supply. It is recommended to sell on rebounds. The profit - grabbing ability of alumina in the industrial chain will remain weak in 2026 [196][319]. - For recycled cast aluminum alloys, prices will generally follow aluminum prices and have a certain upward elasticity. The price - to - electrolytic aluminum ratio of ADC12 is expected to rise, and its price may exceed the 2025 high [7][324]. - In 2026, key structural strategies include cross - border arbitrage, calendar spread arbitrage, cross - variety arbitrage, and over - the - counter options [8][327]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1. Review of 2025 Market and Main Driving Logic of Three Aluminum Products 1.1 Electrolytic Aluminum (AL) - In 2025, the aluminum price showed a low - volatility and convergent pattern for most of the time, with the annual low higher than that in 2024 and the high failing to break through the 2024 high. By the end of 2025, the price increase was 11.0%, lower than that of copper and tin [11]. - The main reasons were the "double - weak" supply - demand pattern and the lack of a clear macro - trading theme. However, since October, with the positive impact of AI - driven power demand on the supply - demand pattern, combined with stock - futures linkage, the aluminum price broke through the convergent pattern [12][14]. 1.2 Alumina (AO) - In 2025, alumina prices fell by 41.1%. In the first half of the year, there was a unilateral decline, and in the second half, there were two "advance - to - retreat" style declines. The main reason was the over - supply and inventory accumulation [17]. 1.3 Recycled Cast Aluminum Alloy (AD) - In 2025, the price center of recycled cast aluminum alloy moved up, generally following the electrolytic aluminum price. The price was supported by the supply shortage of scrap aluminum, especially in the second half of the year after the futures listing [23][24]. 1.4 Strategy Review of Three Aluminum Products - Cross - border arbitrage: In 2025, the most profitable position was the long - LME aluminum and short - SHFE aluminum (positive arbitrage), with a maximum annualized return of over 20% [26][28]. - Cross - variety arbitrage: Copper - aluminum arbitrage, alumina - aluminum arbitrage, alumina - caustic soda arbitrage, and aluminum - aluminum alloy arbitrage provided many profitable strategies [31][34]. - Calendar spread arbitrage: The basis and calendar spread structure of aluminum were generally flat. The basis opportunities of alumina and aluminum alloy were stronger than the calendar spread opportunities [44][45]. 2. Electrolytic Aluminum: Can the "Gathering of Small Demands" and Supply Stories Boost Elasticity? 2.1 Resilience of Primary Aluminum Demand - AI - related industries such as computing centers, energy storage, the US power grid, and robots, as well as military applications and "aluminum replacing copper," are expected to contribute about 1.2 - 1.6 percentage points to China's primary aluminum demand growth rate in 2026 [56][156]. - "Light and vehicle" consumption growth contribution will decline to + 0.1 percentage points, mainly due to the decline in photovoltaic demand [107][114]. - Traditional "foundation, infrastructure, and electricity" and manufacturing industries are expected to contribute 0 - 1 percentage point to the demand growth rate [116][117]. - In 2026, China's exports of aluminum products and aluminum products are expected to increase slightly, contributing 0.5 - 1 percentage point to the demand growth rate [155][156]. 2.2 Key Risks for the Bullish View - China's electrolytic aluminum production capacity ceiling is approaching, and in 2026, the production growth rate is expected to be about + 1.7%. The main risk is the potential increase in production capacity if green - power smelting can break through the ceiling [157][158][163]. - Overseas supply, especially from Indonesia, is a major risk. Although the new production in 2026 is expected to be at a low - growth rate, the power supply conditions need to be closely monitored [165][173][179]. 2.3 Supply - Demand Balance of Primary Aluminum - In China, under the baseline and optimistic scenarios in 2026, the annual shortage is expected to be 12.4 - 25.8 tons, and the inventory accumulation pressure in the first quarter is controllable [2][316]. - Globally, the supply - demand balance is expected to be in a shortage range of 19 - 82 tons, with a median of about 50 tons. Considering the production cut of the Mozambique aluminum plant, the global shortage may exceed 50 tons [2][187][316]. 3. Alumina: Where is the Bottom in the Dilemma between Fundamental Drivers and Valuation? 3.1 Supply Rigidity Remains Unsolved, and the Over - Supply Pattern is Hard to Change - As of the end of 2025, the production of alumina remained rigid. Although high - cost producers have suffered losses for two months, the production has not decreased significantly. However, there may be large - scale production cuts or maintenance in January - February [197][198]. - In 2026, there is still a large - scale new investment in alumina production capacity. The annual average growth rate of alumina production is expected to be about 5.3%, and the production - demand gap will be large [204][205]. - Overseas alumina production capacity is also increasing. Although there is a risk of overseas supply impacting the Chinese market, the Chinese market's production increase is more certain, and exports may exceed 2025 [210][211]. - In 2026, the supply - demand balance of alumina in China and globally is expected to be in a serious over - supply situation, but there are uncertainties in the inventory accumulation in the second half of the year [228][229]. 3.2 Under the Over - Supply Pattern, the Cost - Based Pricing of AO Continues - In 2026, the supply of Guinea bauxite is expected to be abundant, with a potential increase of 3693 - 6300 tons. If the monthly arrival in China exceeds 1530 tons, the supply of bauxite in China will be stable [240][241]. - Alumina's profit - grabbing ability in the industrial chain is expected to remain weak in 2026, mainly due to the decline in bauxite prices and the optimization of production capacity structure [258]. 4. Recycled Cast Aluminum Alloy: The Contradiction at the Raw Material End is Prominent, and the Ratio Center Rises 4.1 The Ratio Center of Scrap Aluminum to Electrolytic Aluminum Tends to Rise - The actual shipment volume of scrap aluminum in 2025 was lower than expected. The increase in imports did not effectively alleviate the supply shortage. The main reason was the mismatch between the supply and demand growth rates of scrap aluminum [262][271]. - The cancellation of the tax rebate policy has increased the cost of recycled aluminum enterprises, and the EU's possible export tariff on scrap aluminum may exacerbate the global supply shortage [291][296]. 4.2 Assessment of Supply and Demand of Recycled Aluminum Alloys - In 2025, the expansion rate of recycled aluminum alloy production capacity slowed down, but the capacity utilization rate was still low. In 2026, the production capacity growth rate is expected to slow down, and some production capacity may exit [300][301]. - The demand for recycled aluminum alloys has certain resilience, but the industry is still in an over - capacity situation. ADC12 is a cost - based pricing product, and the cost - pricing logic will be more obvious [307]. 5. Trading Themes to Watch in 2026 5.1 Unilateral Judgment of Electrolytic Aluminum - In 2026, the pricing logic of aluminum with imagination will continue. Although the apparent demand growth rate is expected to decline, the report is optimistic about the price, smelting profit, and price volatility. The main risks are macro - economic recession and over - production in Indonesia [315][318]. 5.2 Unilateral Judgment of Alumina - It is recommended to sell on rebounds. The over - supply pattern is difficult to change in 2026. The profit - grabbing ability in the industrial chain will remain weak, and the main risks are the introduction of a "production capacity ceiling" policy and bauxite supply disruptions in Guinea [319][323]. 5.3 Unilateral Judgment of Recycled Cast Aluminum Alloy - The price will generally follow the electrolytic aluminum price and has a certain upward elasticity. The main risks are the continuous release of new production capacity and lower - than - expected automobile consumption growth [324][326]. 5.4 Structural Strategies - Cross - border arbitrage: Positive arbitrage in the first half of the year and possible reverse arbitrage in the second half [327]. - Calendar spread arbitrage: Selectively conduct positive arbitrage [327]. - Cross - variety arbitrage: Short caustic soda based on alumina production cuts; buy aluminum and short copper when the copper - aluminum ratio rises too fast; conduct spread arbitrage between electrolytic aluminum and recycled cast aluminum alloy [327]. - Over - the - counter options: Regularly implement the low - level buying strategy - enhanced accumulative purchase [327].

Hong Ye Qi Huo· 2025-12-19 08:44
1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In 2026, the aluminum price trend may be mainly affected by factors such as the Fed's monetary policy, tariff impacts, the situation of Russia-Ukraine negotiations, economic data of major countries like China and the US, and spot supply and demand. Currently, aluminum prices are at a historical high, but downstream spot demand is not ideal. If speculative buying fades and medium - long - term energy prices decline, metal speculative funds may withdraw, and aluminum prices face significant pressure. The alumina price has fallen below the cost line, and the electrolytic aluminum smelting industry is restricted by the production capacity ceiling, maintaining high profit margins, but there is high uncertainty in the medium - long - term industrial outlook [2][3][44] 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Market Review - In 2025, the Shanghai aluminum price generally showed an oscillating upward trend. In Q1, it was supported by the Fed's interest - rate cut expectation and China's mild economic rebound. In April, the US tariff policy caused a market slump, but then the market recovered. From September, with the Fed's restart of the interest - rate cut cycle, the aluminum price continued to rise and reached a new high in December. The London aluminum price trend was basically the same as that of Shanghai aluminum, but after China取消 the aluminum export tax rebate, the supply - demand situations at home and abroad diverged, and the outer - plate aluminum price was stronger than the inner - plate price for a long time [10] 3.2 China's Macroeconomic Situation 3.2.1 China's Monetary Policy in 2025 was Moderately Loose, and the Price Level was Basically Stable - In 2025, China's domestic monetary policy was moderately loose. The M2 growth rate rose from around 7.1% at the beginning of the year to a maximum of 8.8%. The CPI index rebounded from - 0.7% year - on - year in February to 0.7%. The PPI price index remained stable throughout the year. In 2026, China may implement more proactive fiscal policies and moderately loose monetary policies, which are favorable to non - ferrous metals [16] 3.2.2 China's Manufacturing Industry was Generally Stable in 2025 - In 2025, China's manufacturing PMI generally fluctuated around the critical point of 50. The service industry PMI was mostly above 50. In 2026, many domestic provinces and municipalities may expand the policy of issuing consumer vouchers to boost residents' consumption and ensure the stable operation of the national economy [17] 3.2.3 Fixed - asset Investment Reflected that the Economic Pressure was Still High - Since the peak in February 2021, China's fixed - asset investment growth rate has been declining. In 2025, the fixed - asset investment data was still poor. From January to November, the domestic fixed - asset investment decreased by 1.7% year - on - year, and private fixed - asset investment decreased by 4.5% year - on - year, indicating insufficient market confidence and a fragile economic recovery [22] 3.3 Analysis of Key Related Industries 3.3.1 The Real Estate Industry was Gradually Stabilizing at the Bottom - From 2024 - 2025, relevant real - estate policies were continuously introduced, but the overall performance of the real - estate industry was still not ideal. From January to November, the decline in real - estate sales area and new construction area narrowed, but the completed real - estate development investment continued to weaken. Overall, the downward trend of the real - estate industry was gradually being controlled [25] 3.3.2 The Automobile Industry was Gradually Becoming a Pillar of the National Economy, with a High Growth Rate of New Energy Vehicles - From January to November, the total domestic automobile production increased by 11% year - on - year, and the production of new energy vehicles increased by 28.1% year - on - year. In 2026, the purchase tax of new energy vehicles will be adjusted from exemption to half - exemption. Export demand may become the main growth point, and the situation of the domestic automobile industry may become a key factor determining the supply - demand relationship of non - ferrous metals [27] 3.4 Supply - Demand Situation Analysis 3.4.1 Global Aluminum Production Increased Slightly, with a Slight Supply Surplus - In 2025, the global energy supply became tight. The global aluminum production increased in the first half of the year and decreased in the second half. China's aluminum production trend was basically consistent with the global trend, and the year - on - year growth rate was higher than the global level. From January to October, global aluminum production increased by 0.58% year - on - year, and China's aluminum production increased by 0.88% year - on - year, with a slight supply surplus [30] 3.4.2 Policies Led to a Significant Decline in Aluminum Exports in 2025, while Imports Remained High - Due to the reduction of Russian aluminum consumption in Europe and the US, China's aluminum import and export have been booming since 2020. In 2025, aluminum imports remained high, but exports were greatly affected by the cancellation of the export tax rebate. From January to October, the total aluminum imports increased by 9.38% year - on - year, and from January to November, aluminum exports decreased by 14.93% year - on - year. It is expected that in 2026, aluminum exports may remain at about 500,000 tons per month [32] 3.4.3 Raw Material Prices Continued to Decline Throughout the Year and Still had Room to Fall in the Future - In 2025, aluminum raw material prices fluctuated significantly. Coal prices first decreased and then increased, caustic soda prices declined, and bauxite prices decreased after a high - level operation. In the coming year, domestic energy prices and supply are likely to remain stable, and bauxite supply will be stable. It is expected that aluminum raw material costs may further decrease, but aluminum prices have strong support at the bottom due to the domestic production capacity ceiling [33] 3.4.4 Low Inventories Supported Aluminum Prices to Some Extent - In 2025, the electrolytic aluminum inventory increased significantly at the beginning of the year, decreased in the second quarter, and remained stable in the third and fourth quarters, with a slight decrease compared to the beginning of the year. The alumina inventory remained at a low level, with a small increase recently but still relatively low [35] 3.5 Macroeconomic Hot - spot Analysis 3.5.1 Policies Continued to Take Effect, and the Domestic Economy was Generally Stable - In the Central Economic Work Conference, it was emphasized that in 2026, China should implement more proactive fiscal policies and moderately loose monetary policies, and expand domestic demand. In 2025, China's economy remained basically stable. In 2026, the central government is expected to implement more proactive fiscal policies and moderately loose monetary policies, which will support the spot demand for non - ferrous metals. In the future, consumption may become the most important economic support and policy focus in China [39][40][41] 3.5.2 The Economies of Europe and the US were Facing Severe Pressure, and the Fed May Continue to Promote Interest - rate Cuts after the Leadership Change - In the US, the unemployment rate rose in November 2025, and the manufacturing PMI continued to decline. The Fed cut interest rates three times in 2025, with a total reduction of 75 basis points. The euro - zone manufacturing PMI also showed a downward trend. In 2026, the US tariff policy may not change much, and the Fed may enter a new interest - rate cut cycle in the second half of the year, which may drive a new round of price increases for non - ferrous metals [42][43] 3.6 Conclusion - In 2026, the aluminum price trend may be affected by the Fed's monetary policy, tariff impacts, the Russia - Ukraine negotiation situation, economic data of major countries, and spot supply and demand. Currently, aluminum prices are at a high level, but downstream demand is not good. If speculative funds withdraw and energy prices decline in the medium - long term, aluminum prices will face pressure. The alumina price has fallen below the cost line, and the electrolytic aluminum smelting industry is restricted by the production capacity ceiling, with high uncertainty in the medium - long - term industrial outlook [44][45][46]
