Report Industry Investment Rating - Aluminum: Cautiously bullish - Alumina: Neutral - Aluminum alloy: Cautiously bullish - Arbitrage: Long the SHFE aluminum forward spread [9] Core Viewpoints - The overall domestic supply - demand fundamentals of electrolytic aluminum have not changed significantly. Overseas production cuts and high electricity costs impact the market. 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].

Alumina - Low - price alumina spot and high profits of electrolytic aluminum plants drive procurement. However, the supply - demand surplus remains, and cost and supply factors are unfavorable. The price is currently undervalued [7][8]
