MUMBAI (Scrap Register): India's major aluminium scrap commodities prices climbed on Wednesday in line with aluminium futures prices at Multi Commodity Exchange as support seen after a draft policy document suggested China will constrict production next winter to help improve air quality.
The major aluminium scrap commodities on the Scrap Register Price Index climbed on Wednesday. India's major aluminium scrap commodities like aluminium rod company, aluminium rod local, aluminium sheet cutting and aluminium wire scrap traded higher on Wednesday.
The most active February aluminium contract on Multi Commodity Exchange gained by 1.15 percent to Rs. 127.35 per kilogram on Wednesday from previous close of Rs. 125.90 per kilogram. The MXC aluminium prices touched an intra-day high of Rs. 127.45 per kilogram and an intra-day low of Rs. 125.20 per kilogram during Wednesday.
However, aluminium prices at both Shanghai Futures Exchange and London Metal Exchange, have rebounded during January and have performed increasingly stronger this year on news of the impending aluminium curb plan. 
A recent proposal by China’s government to halt some coal and metals production facilities to fight air pollution over the winter could affect alumina refineries and would create shortages of alumina, if implemented, but would have a limited impact on aluminium supply.

This week, ferrous metals were in the doldrums, with coking coal and coke staging a mid-week rise. At the beginning of the week, financial markets experienced sharp fluctuations, dragging down sentiment in the ferrous chain and leading to a pullback in futures. Mid-week, Indonesia's cut to coke production quotas drove coking coal and coke futures to lead the gains, though the impact was more pronounced on thermal coal, while coking coal's rise was largely sentiment-driven and short-lived. In the latter part of the week, finished products continued their seasonal inventory buildup, and support from the raw material side weakened, causing the entire ferrous chain to pull back. In the spot market, with the Chinese New Year holiday approaching, purchasing activity slowed down further, with end-users only making limited, as-needed purchases at low prices.

Today, secondary aluminum market quotations showed some divergence, with some enterprises choosing to hold steady and wait, while others lowered their offers by about 100 yuan/mt. Driven by the price pullback, downstream purchasing mainly focused on restocking at lower levels, and transaction activity improved slightly compared to the previous period. Overall, downstream demand continued to contract, and fundamental support for prices weakened marginally. Before the holiday, secondary aluminum alloy prices are expected to remain in the doldrums at high levels, with the price center pulling back sligh
