SHANGHAI, Apr 3 (SMM) – The benchmark purchase prices of prebaked anode plummeted in April, driving down the costs of aluminium smelters by more than 260 yuan/mt. In addition, alumina prices are expected to go down, which will further reduce smelters’ costs. It is expected that the costs of smelters will fall below 17,000 yuan/mt this week, and their profitability will continue to improve.
