04 basic aspect
1. Import profit
As of March 16, 2023, the closing price of the LME aluminum was 2,280 US dollars/ton; the closing price of the main contract of aluminum aluminum in Shanghai and Shanghai was 18,135 yuan/ton, and the inverted inverted inversion was 531.14 yuan/ton. The inverted inverted hanging is nearly 187 yuan/ton compared with last week.
2. The cost of aluminum companies falls, and some production capacity in Sichuan is resumed
Last week, the profits and costs of domestic electrolytic aluminum companies fell at the same time, and the average profit of electrolytic aluminum companies fell around 337 yuan/ton to 945 yuan/ton. Last week, aluminum prices at home and abroad fell simultaneously. The number of employment in the United States and non -agricultural data was stronger than expected. In addition, the Silicon Valley Bank incident broke out on weekends. This week, Creditses resurrected the waves, aluminum prices fell again, and the profit of aluminum prices decreased slightly. From the cost of electrolytic aluminum, there is still room for decline in raw materials. The auxiliary materials temporarily stopped falling, and the overall cost returns to nearly 17,200 yuan/ton. Last week, Guangyuan Linfeng and Guangyuan Zhongfu had a total of 500,000 tons/annual electrolytic aluminum. The company originally planned to resume production at the end of last year, and delayed the re -production due to the cost of power costs. However, due to the large production capacity of production in Yunnan, and the recent processing rate of processing enterprises has continued to recover, the resumption of production in Sichuan has not changed significantly in the recent shortage pattern.
3. The operating rate of aluminum processing enterprises is temporarily stable
The operating rate of downstream machining enterprises in aluminum rose 0.2 percentage points from a month -on -month to 63.2%. Enterprises such as aluminum profiles and regenerative aluminum alloys have reached a month -on -month pilot, and the operating rate of other aluminum processing enterprises is flat last week.
In terms of division: Last week, the order of the aluminum profile sector improved again. On the one hand, the order of building profiles increased significantly compared to the Spring Festival, and on the other hand, the photovoltaic material began to increase the incremental amount. In addition, the regenerative aluminum alloy sector, after aluminum prices fall, the terminal orders and inquiry orders have improved from the previous quarter, but the order increase is limited.
4. Inventory
1. As of March 16, 2023, the LME aluminum inventory was 530,550 tons, an increase of 20,625 tons from the previous week, and the proportion of cancellation warehouse receipts was 19.83%.
2. As of March 16, 2023, the total inventory of the electrolytic aluminum society was 1.141 million tons, a decrease of 52,000 tons from the previous week.

05 Summary
Supply side: SMM data shows that in February, domestic electrolytic aluminum output was 3.092 million tons, an increase of 4.9%year -on -year. From January to February 2023, the cumulative production of electrolytic aluminum in China was about 6.51 million tons, an increase of 5.8%year-on-year. At the end of February, the electrolytic aluminum in Yunnan was reduced to reduce production, and the enterprise concentratedly pumping aluminum water -cast ingots. The industry's output did not follow the operating capacity and fell rapidly. The output is expected to be 3.39 million tons in March.
Consumption side: On March 9th, the operating rate of aluminum profiles was 60.5%, and the percentage point of the weekly was +0.5 percentage points; the operating rate of the aluminum plate belt was 78.2%, and the weekly circular was the same; the operating rate of aluminum foil was 81.1%, and the weekly was the same. The construction of downstream after the festival has gradually recovered, but the current real estate sales transactions have not improved significantly. Developers are still scarce, and the money is difficult. It will restrict follow -up construction.
Cost side: Last week, the profit and cost of domestic electrolytic aluminum companies fell at the same time. The average profit of electrolytic aluminum companies in the country fell 337 yuan/ton to 945 yuan/ton. This week, aluminum prices rose slightly, and electrolytic aluminum maintained a better profit level.
In summary: The bank crisis spread to Europe, and the panic emotions again heated up again, which put a certain pressure on aluminum prices. The downstream is maintained on demand purchase, and the overall order is rising. At present, the fundamentals of domestic supply and demand have been improved slowly, but the current real estate sales transactions still have no significant improvement. Developers' funds are still scarce, and the return on money will be slow. It will restrict subsequent construction. Condition.

Introduction: The Shifting Landscape of Aluminum Tariffs 
The aluminum industry has been at the epicenter of U.S.-China trade tensions since the Trump administration first imposed tariffs in 2018. With President Donald Trump’s recent reelection and his renewed focus on “America First” policies, the sector faced uncertainty as tariffs on Chinese aluminum products surged to 25% in early 2025. However, recent developments suggest a potential softening in Trump’s stance, with delayed tariffs on key allies like Canada and Mexico and hints of negotiations with China. For aluminum extrusion manufacturers like Changyuan Aluminum, adapting to these dynamics is critical for survival and growth. This article explores the evolving tariff landscape, strategies for resilience, and how Changyuan Aluminum leverages innovation to stay ahead.
