High Aluminum Prices Dampen Peak Season, Central China Market Sees Cautious Procurement and Deep Discounts

Expectations for the September peak season diverged from the sluggish reality. With aluminum prices remaining high, downstream processing enterprises in central China continued to procure only small volumes as needed, stockpiling cautiously and focusing on reducing in-factory inventory. Only trading firms engaging in both spot and futures market made large purchases, while major suppliers showed limited willingness to sell due to the deep discount. Ultimately, actual transaction prices in the central China market ranged from a discount of 150-180 yuan/mt against the 09 contract.
