SHANGHAI, May 21 (SMM) – The price spread of spot aluminium in Guangdong and Shanghai widened to 80 yuan/mt in the morning of Tuesday May 21, from 60 yuan/mt on Monday morning.

Trades in Shanghai occurred at 14,240-14,250 yuan/mt, down 35 yuan/mt from Monday morning. The spread relative to the front month June contract on the Shanghai Futures Exchange remained unchanged in a premium of up to 10 yuan/mt.

Spot aluminium traded at 14,320-14,330 yuan/mt in Guangdong this morning.

Spot deals occurred at 14,240-14,250 yuan/mt in Wuxi and 14,260-14,270 yuan/mt in Hangzhou this morning.

A major trader purchased more than 20,000 mt of spot cargoes in eastern markets.
