China unwrought aluminium, aluminium products exports dipped 5% YoY in March

SHANGHAI, Apr 14 (SMM) – China’s exports of unwrought aluminium and aluminium products dipped about 5% in March from a year earlier to nearly 518,600 mt, according to data from the General Administration of Customs released on Tuesday.

This brought total exports in the first three months of 2020 to nearly 1.19 million mt, marking a decline of 17.5% from the same period last year.  

China’s aluminium exports are likely to continue their year-over-year decline in the second quarter, as measures introduced by world authorities to contain the spread of the coronavirus pandemic take their toll on foreign demand.
