On October 20, CHALCO fell 3.03% in Regular Trading, trading at HK$7.06, with turnover of HK$138 million.
The main catalyst was renewed pressure on the aluminum sector after stronger-than-expected US inflation lifted rate-hike expectations, pushing the US dollar and Treasury yields higher, while market concerns over future aluminum supply growth continued to cap sentiment.
Recent market reports indicated that although domestic aluminum ingot social inventories kept declining and were near 586,000 tons around mid-October, investors viewed near-term spot tightness as insufficient to offset expectations for additional longer-term supply. At the same time, softer September auto production and sales were seen as limiting upside in aluminum prices, contributing to weakness in CHALCO alongside the broader sector.
