Weiqiao Group planned to cut 150 yuan/mt in its prebaked anode purchasing price for August but it was overwhelmingly opposed

SHANGHAI, Jul 25 (SMM) – Weiqiao Group planned to cut 150 yuan/mt in its prebaked anode purchasing price for August but it was opposed by all domestic producers on Wednesday July 25, as the industry has been in a loss since two months ago.

SMM expects the company to adjust its cut to 0-50 yuan/mt, from levels in July. The final purchasing price is still under negotiations.

As of July 2, Weiqiao Group has lowered the prices for seven straight months amid oversupply. The price for this month stood at 3,100 yuan/mt in cash and 3,135 yuan/mt on acceptance. This was 100 yuan/mt lower from that in June.

New Locomotives Boost Guinea's TransGuinean Rail for Iron Ore, Bauxite Transport

[SMM Aluminum Express News] Four new locomotives, Foussein, Lanny-Ninkin, Kaporo, and Gbereakhory have entered service on Guinea's TransGuinean corridor rail line, managed by La Compagnie du TransGuinéen (CTG). Primarily built to haul high-grade iron ore from Simandou mine to Morebaya port (650 km), these Wabtec units (part of a 78-locomotive fleet) support heavy loads for faster, reliable shipments. The corridor's high-capacity infrastructure (12 stations, 206 bridges, rugged terrain adaptations) also enables transport of bauxite and other minerals, creating a multi-commodity logistics backbone that could shorten transit for landlocked neighbors (e.g., Mali) and boost regional mineral exports.
