A few cargoes were booked this week in the region of $233-234 a ton, indicating that the upward momentum seen in recent weeks has been reversed.

Participants were bearish for the most part, with large orders of billet by Turkish mills doing the rounds on the rumour mill.

With billet prices dropping significantly in the wake of the movements in the Yuan, scrap is also likely to come under further downward pressure.

Andromeda Metals Launches A$3M Share Plan to Advance South Australia HPA Project

[SMM Aluminum Express News] Andromeda Metals has launched an A$3 million (approximately US$2 million) Share Purchase Plan to advance its High Purity Alumina (HPA) Project in South Australia. Eligible shareholders in Australia, New Zealand and Luxembourg can subscribe for up to A$30,000 of new shares at A$0.0059 per share, around a 15% discount to the recent five-day volume-weighted average price. The proceeds will primarily fund completion of the HPA Project’s pre-feasibility study, pilot plant optimisation, technical and engineering work, co-product evaluation and production of commercial samples for prospective customers. Andromeda is targeting 4N HPA, with purity of at least 99.99%, using refined kaolin from its Great White Project. Its South Australian pilot plant has already been commissioned, with commercial-grade samples targeted for customer evaluation during H2 2026 as the company moves from laboratory validation toward pilot-scale commercial evaluation.
