LONDON, Oct. 22 -- The global aluminum market was in surplus by 1.361 million metric tons between January and August, the World Bureau of Metal Statistics said Wednesday.
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; That compares to a surplus of 733,000 tons in the same eight months of 2008.
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Demand for aluminum fell by 3.079 million tons to 22.6 million tons during the 2009 period and production fell by 2.451 million tons to 23.99 million tons.
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Total reported stocks of the metal at the end of August stood at just over 6.3 million tons, equivalent to about 62 days' worth of demand, WBMS said.
