    Affected by the dual control of energy consumption, Guangxi, Yunnan and Xinjiang have successively issued policies to determine the problem of production reduction, superimposed on the recent Yunnan production restriction policy, requiring that the output of green aluminum from September to December should not be higher than that in August, and the production limit of electrolytic aluminum will continue for a long time; In August, the production of new energy vehicles increased by 202.
    7% year-on-year, the peak season is approaching, aluminum demand is expected to pick up, social inventory is at a low level and in the destocking cycle, the medium and long-term state has issued a number of policies to support the development of green environmental protection industry, and the demand for new energy and photovoltaic industry is strong
    .
    Aluminum maintains a tight supply pattern, fundamental support is good, and aluminum prices have repeatedly reached new highs
    .

    In summary, under the background of intensifying power shortage and tightening of dual control of energy consumption, the production capacity of electrolytic aluminum in the third quarter may be further expanded, superimposed on the new production capacity in the year or hopeless, the shutdown capacity is difficult to recover, with the gradual recovery of consumption, the price center of electrolytic aluminum is expected to move further up
