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.

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].
