China's Secondary Aluminum Alloy Inventory Falls for 5th Week, Supply Tightness Continues
[SMM Secondary Aluminum Alloy Flash] This week, China's social inventory of secondary aluminum alloy ingots fell 6,100 mt WoW to 44,300 mt, marking the fifth consecutive week of destocking, with the destocking speed accelerating WoW. Tight tax invoices and restricted procurement of compliant aluminum scrap continued to constrain enterprise production, keeping new warehouse inflows at a low level. Meanwhile, order deliveries and the recent widening of spot-futures price spreads boosted manufacturers' repurchase demand, driving inventories down further. It is expected that in the short term, affected by tight aluminum scrap supply, secondary aluminum enterprises will struggle to significantly ramp up operating rates, and social inventory will remain low.
