The price of alumina is gradually rising due to power restrictions, which will form a strong support
for the price of electrolytic aluminum.

to the domestic market.

Inventories: Inventories fell slightly again this week, mainly due to colder
trading in the market as a whole.
Overseas: Pay attention to the US House of Representatives voting on the temporary debt ceiling increase bill to prevent black swan events
