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].
