    Aluminum prices

    On the supply side, there are many overseas energy disturbance factors, and it is difficult for aluminum smelters that have reduced production to resume normal production in the short term; Domestically, bauxite is affected by the epidemic in the north, the overall supply exceeds demand, and the market transaction is relatively limited; In terms of electrolytic aluminum, Inner Mongolia has new production capacity put into operation, Sichuan resumed production slower than planned, and Yunnan's production reduction has not been expanded for the time being, but Yunnan's part of the recovery time is longer, and the supply side is slowly repairing
