SHANGHAI, Aug. 13 (SMM) –China’s yuan dropped at a faster pace on Wednesday. SHFE 1510 aluminum started at RMB 12,065/mt and extended Tuesday night’s rising momentum to touch RMB 12,165/mt.

Aluminum prices were mainly between RMB 11,960-11,980/mt in Shanghai on Wednesday, discounts of RMB 20-40/mt over August aluminum on the SHFE, versus RMB 11,950-11,980/mt in Wuxi and RMB 11,960-11,980/mt in Hangzhou.
