On the news front, recently, the Global Research team of Bank of America published Research Reports indicating that although supply is gradually recovering, the tight supply issue of bauxite in the Industry will not be completely resolved in the near future, and the supply of alumina may remain tight until the first quarter of 2025. Although China will bring 12.3 million tons of new alumina capacity into Operation by 2025, it is estimated that only 6 million tons of bauxite resources are secured, meaning that the remaining capacity may face obstacles upon startup. Therefore, bauxite may become a cost support for alumina next year.
CITIC SEC released Research Reports pointing out that the easing of supply and demand patterns combined with event catalysts has led to a significant weakening of alumina prices. Looking ahead to 2025, the average price of alumina is expected to decline; the strengthening of supply constraints paired with improved demand expectations may still allow for some elasticity in aluminum prices. There is optimism about the expansion of profit per ton of aluminum and the investment value of the aluminum Sector driven by dividend and valuation logic.
