(Note: The cycle refers to 2011-09-01 to the present)



  Fundamentals Overview



  Supply and demand:



  On the supply side, the production restriction in Yunnan due to insufficient hydropower may further expand, or reach a scale of 20-30%. At present, the annual production reduction in Yunnan has reached more than 1.3 million tons. Although the Sichuan and Chongqing areas are promoting the process of production resumption, the overall supply has declined.



  On the demand side, the peak season for demand has arrived, but the recent downstream construction shows that the growth is relatively slow. The operating rate of leading domestic aluminum downstream processing enterprises continued to increase slightly by 0.7 percentage points from last week to 67.1%. In September, the operating rate of downstream processing enterprises remained stable, and the recovery was less than expected.



  Inventory:



  According to statistics, as of the 26th, the social inventory of domestic electrolytic aluminum mainstream areas was about 650,000 tons, a decrease of 14,000 tons from last Thursday, a year-on-year decrease of 166,000 tons, and a monthly decrease of 26,000 tons from the end of August. As of September 26, LME aluminum inventories were 338,850 tons, down 1,500 tons from the previous day.



  Import and export:



  According to the latest data from the General Administration of Customs, the export volume of aluminum and aluminum materials in August 2022 was about 540,400 tons, a decrease of 17.14% month -on -month, an increase of 10.22% year -on -year. From January to August 2022, the export volume of aluminum and aluminum materials was 4.701 million tons, an increase of 31.5% year-on-year from January-August last year.



  Market outlook



  After the Federal Reserve’s interest rate hike in September, due to its exceptional expectations, the Eagle Pie's statement exacerbated the market's tension. The US dollar continued to rise, risk assets were under pressure, liquidity tightened, and economic recession dominated the market. aluminum market was under pressure.



  In the short term, there is still a support from the reducing production of phased production in the short term. Watching whether the actual demand of the downstream is warmer. It is expected that the downlink space of aluminum prices will narrow in the short term.
