Aluminum ingot stocks in China’s five major markets – Shanghai, Wuxi, Nanhai, Hangzhou and Gongyi, fell to 1.22 million tonnes in the week ending April 21 after continuous growth.

SHANGHAI, Apr. 26 (SMM) – Aluminum ingot stocks in China’s five major markets – Shanghai, Wuxi, Nanhai, Hangzhou and Gongyi, fell to 1.22 million tonnes in the week ending April 21 after continuous growth. Is the recent decline only temporary or signal further fall on the way?

SMM expects overall inventories to return to growth territory in the near future, considering still high capacity in operation nationwide.

Profit Expands at Chinese Aluminum Smelters, SMM Says
   
Relatively strong downstream consumption contributed to the overall decline in inventories. Some aluminum ingots flowed into warehouses in Shandong’s Linyi, Chongqing and Tianjin. Improved aluminum liquid consumption at processors located near aluminum smelters also constrained aluminum ingot shipments. These factors also helped drive down overall inventories, SMM explained.
