.

On the supply side, the domestic electrolytic aluminum production capacity reached 39.
3 million tons at the end of 2020.

On the demand side, the operating rate of all processing sectors has declined, and the progress towards the Spring Festival has become more and more obvious
with time.
In terms of inventory, domestic aluminum ingot social stocks decreased by 15,000 tons month-on-month to 669,000 tons, and transportation hindered the recovery of inventories, but they will eventually be cashed
in.
Fundamentally, domestic output rose 8% year-on-year to 3.
3 million mt in January, while imports were still flowing in January, there was seasonal weakening pressure on consumption, and spot inventories were accumulating

It is worth noting that logistics affects short-term arrivals, interrupts the accumulation process, and triggers a rebound in Shanghai and aluminum with a rebound target of 15200

support below under good consumption expectations.
