    1.
    Tajikistan's aluminum ingot production has declined
    for six consecutive years.
    In 2017, Tajikistan's aluminum production was 103,000 tons (including 101,000 tons exported at a total price of 270 million US dollars), 26,000 tons less than in 2016 and 175,000 tons less than in 2012
    .

    2.
    The production capacity is expected to be put into operation in 2018 to be about 3.
    5 million tons, plus the existing 42 million tons of completed production capacity (excluding 3.
    21 million tons of Shandong Hongqiao Xinfa and Xinjiang's 2 million tons of shutdown capacity), the overall supply of electrolytic aluminum in 2018 is still large
    .

    Recently, Shanghai aluminum chose to break down, as domestic inventories continue to reach new highs, supply pressure increases, and the entire fundamentals continue to weaken in the background, it is expected that short-term Shanghai aluminum will maintain weak shocks, but in the short term, driven by the rise of copper and nickel, there are signs of oscillation stabilization, short-term operation needs to be cautious
