    Industry News:

    1.
    Rusal, the Russian aluminum giant, is preparing to cut production
    due to US sanctions that have prevented it from carrying out annual contract negotiations.
    Sources said Rusal, the largest supplier of aluminum outside China, could begin limiting production
    this month, including in Siberia.

    2.
    Since the United States opened the suppression mode against Rusal, the price of alumina has climbed 40% to about $638 per ton since the end of June, and the "house leakage coincides with overnight rain", what buyers did not expect was that Australia's aluminum production was also "full of conditions"
    at this time.

    In terms of news, China may ask the WTO to approve sanctions against the United States next week, and the trade war has made waves again, and metals are obviously under pressure
    .
    Hydro reached an agreement with the Brazilian government to resume production, taking the first step towards the resumption of production, breaking the expectation that there would be a persistent gap in the alumina market, overseas alumina prices fell and domestic alumina stopped rising
    .

    In terms of inventory, according to the statistics of domestic consumption aluminum ingots, the total inventory of aluminum ingots in consumption on September 10 was 1.
    683 million tons, down 31,000 tons
    from last Thursday.
    With the continuous decline of spot inventory and the improvement of consumer demand in the later period, it may form a positive support
    for aluminum prices.
    However, in the short term, the rise of alumina is interrupted, the driving force on the cost side is weakened, and the macro expectation is biased, and it is expected that the short-term Shanghai aluminum shock will run
    weakly.
