    Shanghai aluminum

    In terms of macro, domestic policies have repeatedly emphasized stability, and in the medium and long term, it may form a bottom
    for aluminum prices.
    In addition, in the short term, the market is more optimistic about the recent attitude, and the rise in crude oil prices has also driven aluminum prices to a
    certain extent.

    From a fundamental point of view, the domestic supply side is expected to increase
    in December with the resumption of production in Yunnan.

    for further downward movement.

    to weaken.
    On Monday, the domestic social treasury fell by 25,000 tons from last Thursday to 839,000 tons, and in the short term, the de-treasury will remain unchanged, but the magnitude may slow down

    .
    Natural gas prices in Europe have soared, and several aluminum plants in Europe have begun to reduce production, and more capacity may join the
    cut.
    East China spot consumption performed strongly, and inventory dematerialization was higher than in the same period
    .
    Approaching the holiday, the outbound performance is still strong, the accumulation is expected to be significantly delayed, and it is recommended to wait and see
    .
