SHANGHAI, Aug. 14 (SMM) – Spot aluminum largely traded at RMB 13,980-14,000/mt in Shanghai on Thursday, a discount of RMB 30-50/mt over SHFE 1408 aluminum contract, versus RMB 13,990-14,000/mt in Wuxi and RMB 14,000-14,010/mt in Hangzhou. Some sellers demanded higher offers out of expectations that demand will pick up tomorrow and since delivery date of SHFE 1408 aluminum contract is approaching. Most, however, cut offers due to anemic demand. Trading was active at below RMB 14,000/mt.
