    Overall, in the short term, under the influence of the Fed's aggressive interest rate hikes, the overall macro performance is bearish, and the domestic downstream demand support is insufficient, resulting in a sharp decline in prices, and it is expected that Shanghai aluminum will continue to decline in recent days.
    The lower support level needs to refer to 18,000; the recent price trend As we said earlier, macro directivity once again promoted the price downward, but the emotional promotion is still relatively short-lived, after the decline aluminum prices may continue to maintain around 18,000 to stabilize, whether there can be a substantial bottoming rebound still needs to pay attention to the recovery of
    demand.
