Movement Alert｜CHALCO Falls 3.2% in Regular Trading, Aluminum Sector Pressured by Macro Headwinds and Future Supply Expectations

Market Focus10-22

On October 22, CHALCO fell 3.2% in regular trading, trading at HK$6.785, with turnover of HK$49.32 million.

The move coincided with weakness across aluminum names as stronger US inflation data reinforced rate-hike expectations, lifting the US dollar and Treasury yields and pressuring base metals sentiment.

Industry background indicates the market remains concerned that near-term tightness in domestic aluminum inventory may not offset expectations for future supply additions. Social aluminum ingot inventory had reportedly fallen to around 586,000 tons by mid-October, but softer auto production and sales trends have also limited aluminum price upside. CHALCO is also scheduled to hold a board meeting on October 29 to review third-quarter results, which may have contributed to a more cautious short-term trading tone.
