    Cable raw materials (aluminum)

    Macro: the year-end short cover thrust and rebound, the continuous reduction of positions makes Shanghai aluminum short-term or support, and the external market is affected by the pressure of RMB depreciation, the performance has been weaker than the internal market, in addition, the Federal Reserve recently announced that the federal funds rate target range will be raised by 25 basis points to the level of 0.
    5% to 0.
    75%, coupled with the previous rise is too high, aluminum prices began to give up gains, year-end off-season, demand declined, aluminum prices fell
    。 At present, the market is worried about the oversupply of the aluminum market in the medium and long term, and the possibility of funds re-entering the short market after the holiday is high, mainly because the environmental protection supervision in December makes the aluminum production less, and does not rule out the possibility of a sharp rush for downstream smelting in the first few weeks of January 2017, so the market after New Year's Day is not optimistic
    .

    Market: During the month, the price of aluminum continued to fall, and the spot price once returned to around 12550 yuan / ton, and downstream enterprises replenished a large number of goods at a low level, and the overall transaction picked up
    .
    On the last trading day before New Year's Day, the market transaction is average, the price returns to a high level in the morning, and the holders are more active in shipments, but then there is almost no business to do, the market supply is less, and the price is also raised
    .
    Aluminum profile factories were affected by environmental pressure, and production was damaged in December, and it is expected that after New Year's Day, downstream procurement and stocking will be positive
    again.
    Near the end of the year, large holders closed their accounts a few years ago, the demand of downstream enterprises turned weak, on-demand procurement was the mainstay, and only some enterprises were the settlement demand for the current month's ticket, pushing up the spot premium, and the transaction was slightly active
    driven by the demand for bills.
    Affected by factors at the end of the recent year, railway capacity in Xinjiang, Gansu and other places is tight, and arrivals continue to be low, but the high premium factor of the monthly ticket is eliminated, and it is expected that the short-term premium will continue to maintain a high position
