    Overseas, European electricity prices are high, energy problems still exist, and the epidemic prevention measures in various countries have become stricter, and the risk of reducing production shutdowns has increased
    .

    On the cost side, with the price of alumina falling back to 3,000 yuan / ton, and the decline in the price of pre-cultivated anodes, electrolytic aluminum smelting enterprises have returned to profitability
