About 50 secondary aluminium producers in Dazhou town in Henan province shut for environmental installations

SHANGHAI, Nov 21 (SMM) – Dazhou town in Henan province required all secondary aluminium producers to suspend operation to install environmental equipment, SMM learned on Tuesday November 20.

There are about 50 secondary aluminium producers in the town and most produce nonstandard products with capacity below 2,000 mt/year.

The current installation progress suggests that plants can resume output as early as December.

This round of output suspension is likely to have minimal impact on the overall secondary aluminium market amid current quiet trading liquidity and as most local plants have adequate stocks of finished goods.

[Ex-China Supply Disruptions Combined with Macro Recovery Strengthen Upside Momentum for Aluminum Prices] The risk of ex-China aluminum supply disruptions has not yet subsided, and the ex-China aluminum ingot supply-demand gap will continue to provide support for aluminum prices. Meanwhile, tightened invoicing has restricted aluminum ingot spot liquidity, and a weakening spot market will limit upside room for domestic aluminum prices. However, since April, China's export orders have remained positive, and combined with recent macro tailwinds, a turning point in China's social inventory is expected to emerge, boosting upside momentum for aluminum prices.
