    .

    Strikers at Alcoa's large Western Australian companies will end their strike on Thursday, and unions are expected to hold a strong "no" vote that could extend the strike
    for four weeks.

    In the past two months, some domestic aluminum enterprises have reduced production due to losses, capacity replacement and other factors, resulting in a slowdown in the recovery of operating capacity, a further decline in output growth, and consumption has not improved significantly, and the domestic market is weak in supply and demand, and it is expected that this situation will continue
    in the short term.
    At present, macro factors have a greater impact on market sentiment and have a significant inhibitory effect on prices, but as raw material prices rise further, costs will rise further, and their price support will become more and more obvious
    .
    The peak season is approaching, and there are still plans
    to rise.
