Key Drivers Behind Today's Increase
Cost Support from Producers
Smelters continue to face steady production costs, making it difficult to accept lower bids. This creates a natural price floor, and today's adjustment aligns with that bottom-line pressure.
Slight Improvement in Overseas Inquiries
Demand from Southeast Asia and parts of the Middle East showed mild improvement. While volumes are not large, consistent inquiries help stabilize sentiment.
Tight Margins Limiting Discounts
Producers have limited room for price concessions. Even a small cost fluctuation translates quickly into price adjustments, explaining the narrow but firm upward move.
Short-Term Outlook
A: Inquiries remain steady
Prices may stay in the 2150–2170 USD/ton band, with slight upward potential if shipments accelerate before year-end.
B: Inquiry momentum weakens
Prices could soften toward the lower end of the range but are unlikely to drop sharply due to the firm cost floor.
Overall, today's move signals a stable-to-firm short-term tone, rather than the beginning of a strong upward trend.
