China’s domestic bauxite consumption is 8.15 million tons in November, dropping 2.51% on monthly basis.

SHANGHAI, Dec.7 (SMM)-China’s domestic bauxite consumption is 8.15 million tons in November, dropping 2.51% on monthly basis. Total bauxite consumption from January to November reaches 88.9 million tons, rising 11.2% on yearly basis.

In November, most alumina plants in Henan Province reduced production by 10%. Some alumina plants in Shanxi Province also decline in production due to green policies. Hence, domestic bauxite consumption slightly drops in November.

In the end of November, bauxite inventory increases on alumina plants due to weakened demand and rising supply.

[Strait Stalemate Unresolved on Eve of U.S.-Iran Talks; Hard Supply Damage Supports Aluminum Prices Fluctuating at Highs] Overall, the macro perspective of restricted strait passage and conflict escalation risks resonated with the fundamental hard supply damage and low global inventory, jointly providing strong bottom support for aluminum prices. However, weak interest rate cut expectations, higher-than-expected aluminum ingot inventory buildup in China, and adverse expectations on consumption and inflation from recent high oil price fluctuations all notably weighed on the upside room for aluminum prices. In the short term, aluminum prices exhibited a trend of fluctuating at highs.
