China issued import quotas for another 100 mt of aluminium scrap

SMM expects prices of aluminium scrap to face some headwinds in the coming weeks as downstream demand was badly hit by the virus outbreak. The combination of subdued demand and an inflow of seaborne materials is likely to keep prices of ADC12 aluminium alloy ingot, a type of finished product of secondary aluminium, under pressure in the near term.
