China's latest aluminium scrap import quota shrank 82% on-quarter

China last week issued a fresh batch of import quotas of 13,770 mt for newly restricted high-grade Al scrap

SHANGHAI, Nov 11 (SMM) – China last week issued a fresh batch of import quota of 13,770 mt for newly restricted high-grade aluminium scrap, down 82.21% from the approved volumes in the counterpart batches for the third quarter.

The latest release alongside the previous batch of quota allowed the imports of 58,705 mt of aluminium scrap for the fourth quarter so far, 83.34% lower than the third-quarter quotas, SMM calculated based on the list released by the Solid Waste and Chemical Management Centre.

The decline came in line with market expectations that Chinese authorities will further intensify waste import restrictions in the remainder of the year.

SMM expects China’s aluminium scrap market to tighten up in the fourth quarter and lift prices of secondary aluminium, despite greater imports of aluminium alloy ingot finished products.

Poor sales at secondary aluminium producers pressured aluminium scrap prices. Import restrictions kept supply of aluminium scrap tense tight. Aluminium scrap prices will remain under downward pressure and the price difference between primary aluminium and aluminium scrap will continue to expand before the completion of the next pricing cycle of secondary aluminium in early April.
