Looming Production Restarts to Pressure Alumina Prices, SMM Reports

SHANGHAI, Jun. 2 (SMM) – Alumina prices in China, whose recent rally was fueled by production cutbacks, could face pressure from possible massive production restarts, SMM understands. 
 
Roughly 2.17 million tonnes of alumina capacity, which was cut due to environmental issue and accounted for 56.7% of total capacity cuts, may come back online once environmental checks end at the end of May, SMM expects.
