Daily Review of waste Aluminum Price

Today, aluminum prices rose another 190 yuan / ton, due to the rise in aluminum prices, scrap aluminum yard prices continue to remain strong, but shipments are still relatively positive. In terms of price, the price of cooked aluminum has risen slightly because of the discount price of A00 aluminum, and the price of raw aluminum has remained stable because of the weak rise in the price of recycled cast aluminum alloy.

Recycled aluminum enterprises are generally due to poor orders, the price rise is weak. In terms of domestic prices, the quotation of mainstream large recycled aluminum enterprises is stable, concentrated in 13200 × 13300 yuan / ton, and the greater order pressure makes most recycled aluminum enterprises less willing to raise prices. The quotation of imported waste aluminum enterprises is still maintained below 13000 yuan / ton and remains relatively stable. In terms of small and medium-sized factories, although the quotation of a recycled aluminum factory in Jiangxi is stable, according to the feedback of traders, the prices of small and medium-sized factories have risen, and it is expected that the transaction price of domestic small and medium-sized factories will rise to 13000 yuan / ton today. Under the dual pressure of supply and demand, the profits of the whole industry of recycled aluminum continue to be compressed. In terms of imports, it has been heard that the spot price of Guangdong import ports has dropped, with a quotation of 12500 yuan per ton.

Yunnan Hongtai's Aluminum Electrolysis Project Passes Verification, Publicity Period Announced
The Capacity Replacement Scheme for the Aluminum Electrolysis Construction Project of Yunnan Hongtai New-type Materials Co., Ltd. (Announcement No. 18 of 2019 by the Department of Industry and Information Technology of Yunnan Province) was publicly announced on December 26, 2019. The construction project planned to build six potlines, A, B, C, D, E, and F, to be constructed in phases and commissioned in sections. On January 25, 2021, two cells in Potline C (cell numbers 3344# and 3444#) passed the verification and acceptance conducted by experts organized by the provincial, prefectural, and county industry and information technology authorities, and were found to comply with the requirements of the Capacity Replacement Scheme for the Aluminum Electrolysis Construction Project of Yunnan Hongtai New-type Materials Co., Ltd. However, because they were located at the end of the second section and too close to the short-circuit busbar of the three-way corridor, the electromagnetic field stability was extremely poor. After the capacity replacement and verification in January 2021, they were not operated. The two cells in Potline D and the two cells in Potline C are all NEUI440kA electrolysis cells, each with a capacity of 2,405 mt, consistent with the construction content specified in the scheme. The Wenshan Prefecture Bureau of Industry and Information Technology, jointly with Yanshan County, conducted a verification and acceptance of the implementation of the capacity replacement scheme for the Aluminum Electrolysis Construction Project of Yunnan Hongtai New-type Materials Co., Ltd. (involving two units in the second section of Potline D). We hereby publicize the changes in the implementation of the capacity replacement scheme. The publicity period is from June 3 to June 7, 2026. During the publicity period, if there are any objections, please report them to the Wenshan Prefecture Bureau of Industry and Information Technology. Public supervision is welcomed.
