    The aluminum contract in the past three months has been inverted again, which is not conducive to the preservation of value of the holders, the shipment attitude is positive, the middleman has no room for operation, the downstream enterprises do not recognize the price, the willingness to receive goods has declined, and the overall transaction supply exceeds demand
    .
    In the afternoon, under the condition of aluminum shock, East China spot floated down to 14240~14260 yuan / ton
    .

    LME aluminum was boosted and strengthened by Rio Tinto's 2018 production reduction plan during the day, but the 0-3 liter discount spread was too high to attract a large delivery position, which suppressed the price, and Lun aluminum fluctuated
    sharply during the day.
    The high-cost production capacity in the domestic supply and the slow release of new products have improved, and downstream processing enterprises have improved after the start of the holiday, but this improvement is still relatively weak
    year-on-year.
    Therefore, before the pattern of weak supply and demand is broken, aluminum prices are still running
    in a downward channel.
