1. Limited production in heating season

 

Recently, the Ministry of ecology and environment issued the action plan for comprehensive control of air pollution in autumn and winter of 2020-2021 in the Yangtze River Delta region (Draft for comments), and “2020-2021 for Beijing Tianjin Hebei and its surrounding areas, Fenwei plain” The action plan for comprehensive control of air pollution in autumn and winter (Draft for comments) requires that the Yangtze River Delta region, Beijing Tianjin wing and surrounding areas and Fenwei plain should be targeted at steel, building materials and nonferrous metals The unorganized emission control of key industries has achieved the goal of reducing excess capacity and eliminating backward capacity in an all-round way, which has little impact on the aluminum industry chain, and the upstream carbon part is affected. The production capacity of electrolytic aluminum and alumina has not changed significantly.

 

Aluminum price forecast in October

 

The downstream operating rate is relatively stable. In the later stage, attention should be paid to the price of raw material alumina and downstream export. It is expected that the social inventory of aluminum ingots will enter a period of fluctuating platform. The price of aluminum ingots will be mainly stable in October, with the price range of 14500-15300 yuan / ton.
