Report Summary 1. Investment Rating The report does not mention the industry investment rating. 2. Core Views - **Alumina**: The raw material end shows that the rainy season in Guinea is ending, and the subsequent import volume of bauxite may recover, but the current supply is still tight and port inventories are slightly decreasing. Supply may gradually converge as high - cost enterprises face losses and carry out maintenance and production cuts. Demand is expected to increase steadily as the electrolytic aluminum industry is in the peak season, with strong aluminum prices and high production enthusiasm. It is recommended to lightly go long on the alumina main contract at low prices [4][5]. - **Electrolytic Aluminum**: The supply of alumina, the raw material, is still abundant, with low prices. Aluminum prices are strong, increasing smelter profits and production enthusiasm. Domestic production capacity is approaching the industry limit, and supply is expected to remain stable. However, the traditional peak consumption season is ending, and downstream demand may decline, with inventory accumulating. It is recommended to lightly go short on the Shanghai Aluminum main contract at high prices [4]. - **Cast Aluminum**: The supply of scrap aluminum, the raw material, is tight, and the price of casting aluminum auxiliary materials is rising, providing strong cost support.

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The fundamentals of the aluminum market show that electrolytic aluminum may be in a stage of slightly increasing supply and boosting demand, while alumina may be in a stage of slightly converging supply and relatively stable demand. Cast aluminum alloy may face a situation of slowing supply and increasing demand. It is recommended to conduct light - position short - term long trading on the main contracts of Shanghai aluminum, alumina, and cast aluminum, and pay attention to operation rhythm and risk control.
