The South Korean presidential office said on Sunday that South Korean President Lee Jae-myung will hold a summit with Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi next Tuesday.On May 17th, Hongqiao Holdings stated at its earnings conference on May 15th that, according to publicly available industry data, aluminum rod inventory has been continuously decreasing since mid-March 2026. This year, due to factors such as the later Spring Festival, the delayed off-season, and the impact of high aluminum prices on downstream restocking, the destocking pace of aluminum ingots has been relatively slow. However, recently, there have been signs of a marginal decline in electrolytic aluminum social inventory. The destocking trend still needs to be continuously observed in conjunction with subsequent downstream production, spot transactions, and delivery status. The relatively high level of aluminum ingot social inventory this year is mainly likely related to the following factors: First, the recovery of demand after the Spring Festival was somewhat delayed, leading to relatively cautious downstream delivery and restocking; second, the relatively high aluminum prices have had a certain impact on downstream procurement, resulting in a temporary accumulation of inventory in the upstream and distribution links; third, the inventory performance of different product forms varies, with the destocking pace of aluminum rods, aluminum ingots, and processed materials not being entirely consistent. Overall, with the continued release of downstream demand, there are signs of marginal improvement in aluminum ingot social inventory, but the specific timing and extent of destocking still depend on market supply and demand, price levels, and delivery schedules.May 17th - According to foreign media reports, US President Trump and Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy successfully defeated Senator Bill Cassidy in the Louisiana Republican primary, demonstrating that Trumps control over the Republican Party remains solid despite unpopular wars and soaring gasoline prices. Decision Desk HQ predicts Cassidy will finish third in Saturdays three-way race. The candidates include Representative Julia Lightfoot, who has the support of Trump and PACs associated with Kennedy, and Louisiana Treasurer John Fleming. Lightfoot and Fleming are expected to advance to the runoff next month. Whoever wins the runoff will almost certainly secure victory in the November general election, as Louisiana is a deep red state with a significant Republican advantage. Trump has consistently accused Cassidy of "disloyalty," both because of his impeachment vote in 2021 and his opposition to some of Trumps policy agendas, particularly Kennedys vaccine and other health policies. In the current primary season, Trump is working to crack down on party members with whom he has disagreements.According to NBC News, Republicans Lighthizer and Fleming are expected to advance to the second round of the Louisiana U.S. Senate primary.On May 17, Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, President of the Peoples Republic of China, and Chairman of the Central Military Commission, issued important instructions on promoting the high-quality development of philosophy and social sciences.
