SHANGHAI, Jul. 18 (SMM) –The China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association (CNIA) summoned domestic major alumina producers, including Chalco, Jinjiang Group, Shandong Xinfa Group, etc. for a meeting in Beijing last Thursday.

Persistent declines in alumina prices might be the main reason why the meeting was held, SMM understood.

Will the gathering give a boost to battered alumina prices?
