CHALCO's stock price plummeted 5.07% during intraday trading on Thursday, extending a pullback from recent gains. The aluminum producer's shares have been under pressure as investors take profits following a significant rally earlier in the week.
The decline represents continued profit-taking after CHALCO experienced a sharp rally driven by dual positive catalysts. The previous surge was triggered by news that Guinea, the world's largest bauxite producer accounting for over one-third of global output, announced plans to implement bauxite export controls in June. Additionally, CHALCO was confirmed for inclusion in the Hang Seng Index effective June 8, which had previously boosted investor sentiment.
The broader aluminum sector has also faced pressure, contributing to the downward movement in CHALCO's stock price as market sentiment in the sector continues to cool following the initial excitement over supply constraints.
