[SMM News] Futures: The most-traded alumina 2601 futures contract edged down slightly overnight, opening at 2,540 yuan/mt, reaching a high of 2,562 yuan/mt, and closing at 2,556 yuan/mt, with limited intraday fluctuations. Open interest fell by 4,833 lots to 201,000 lots, while trading volume decreased by 38,000 lots to 159,000 lots, indicating a clear weakening in market trading activity. Technically, the current price is trading below the MA5 (2,540.8) and MA10 (2,531.8), with short-term moving averages acting as resistance, while the MA30 (2,517.9) still provides support below, suggesting a consolidation pattern. Overall, momentum has weakened following the previous rebound, and the simultaneous contraction in trading volume and open interest reflects strong wait-and-see sentiment in the market. In the short term, the market is expected to continue its consolidation trend, with resistance around the 2,550-2,560 range warranting attention.

Recently, Italy has signed off on a total of 1.1GW of photovoltaic project capacity under its non-price criteria FER-X tender, part of the framework for the Net Zero Industry Act. A total of 88 projects were awarded contracts, representing nearly half of the 157 bids shortlisted in November (totalling 1.85GW). Organised by Italy's energy regulator, the tender will award contracts to projects utilising non-Chinese components. This aligns with the EU's Net Zero Industry Act, which promotes supply chain diversification for solar photovoltaic products and reduces reliance on China through ‘non-price criteria’. The tender stipulated that participating projects must procure non-Chinese products for at least four key categories, including solar cells, modules, and inverters. The average electricity price secured in this tender was €66.378 per MWh, significantly higher than the average price achieved in a recent FER-X tender that did not impose restrictions on the use of Chinese components.

A report warms that despite a recent 20% surge, the copper rally lacks fundamental support amidst a sluggish global economy and is merely trailing precious metals rather than leading growth. The report suggests that current prices have overpriced 2026 recovery expectations, indicating that the upward momentum is fragile and likely to fade. Consequently, analysts recommend implementing an options "Collar Strategy"—selling upside calls to fund downside puts—to lock in recent gains and protect against a potential price correction in Q1 2026.

During the three months ending November 2025, US photovoltaic module prices stabilised at slightly above US$0.28 per watt, though this situation remains fragile as the US solar industry awaits a decision on Section 232 compliance. Anza anticipates this precarious situation will persist into the new year until the US government issues final guidance on Section 232. This provision concerns imports of polysilicon and its derivatives into the United States; given the industry's reliance on such imports, the ruling will carry significant implications for the sector.

On 10 December, Maxeon Solar, a subsidiary of TCL Zhonghuan, filed a new patent infringement lawsuit against Aixu Solar at Munich Regional Court I in Germany. This marks the third patent infringement lawsuit Maxeon has initiated against Aixu within the past two years. The lawsuit alleges that Aixu and its European distribution network infringed the German portion of Maxeon's core patent EP2297789B1, concerning Aixu's second- and third-generation back-contact module products sold in the European market. Alongside Aixu's manufacturing and sales entities, Maxeon has named four major German photovoltaic distributors as co-defendants: Wattkraft GmbH & Co. KG, DWH Solutions GmbH, Memodo GmbH, and Tepto GmbH.
