Spot Discounts Keep Expanding in East China Aluminum Market, SMM Says

Environmental and safe production checks in Hebei severely hit local wire & cable producers, hurting demand for aluminum rod.

Besides, wire & cable producers try to delay delivery and cut operating rates against too high aluminum prices.

These forced the aluminum rod maker to reduce processing fees, SMM explains.
