Daily Review of waste Aluminum Price

Today, aluminum prices continued last week's rally, continuing to rise 60 yuan / ton to 11790 yuan / ton. The waste aluminum market is still in short supply, holders remain willing to sell, waste aluminum prices remain stable, and transactions are rare. Buyers, due to poor orders, recycled aluminum ADC12 transaction prices continue to fall, at present, more and more small and medium-sized recycled aluminum plants due to lack of materials to reduce production. Import waste aluminum, Q2 import waste aluminum approval document has begun to issue, the fifth batch of import waste aluminum approval document about 200000 tons, did not hinder the import of waste aluminum. At the same time, due to the greater impact of overseas downstream and terminals, the actual supply of waste aluminum tends to be surplus, the price falls to less than US $1000 / ton, and some unsealed areas of waste aluminum will begin to flow to China. On the whole, due to the rise in aluminum prices in the short term, waste aluminum holders continue to cherish the sale, the market is still light, there are few transactions.

Recycled aluminum due to poor downstream demand, almost no follow-up, only a small number of enterprises due to high waste aluminum prices have a small willingness to raise prices, the overall transaction price continues to fall. Specifically, the cash quotation of large recycled aluminum enterprises has been reduced to 13000 yuan / ton, and a small number of extreme prices can be as low as 12900 yuan / ton. For small and medium-sized enterprises, the cash offer was reduced to 12700 yuan / ton, and a small number of extreme transaction prices were as low as 12600 yuan / ton. On the export side, due to weak overseas waste aluminum prices and poor demand, export ADC12 prices continued to fall, with quotations falling to US $1300 / ton and a low of US $1300 / ton. At present, due to the short-term small rebound of aluminum prices in China, waste aluminum holders continue to maintain the selling sentiment, while weak demand makes recycled aluminum prices continue to weaken, which makes the game between buyers and sellers in the waste aluminum market intensified. Some small and medium-sized recycled aluminum has been cut down. However, the publication of Q2 import waste aluminum approval document makes the subsequent low-price import of waste aluminum gradually increase, which may improve the domestic shortage of waste aluminum.

[SMM Aluminum Express News] Geopolitical tensions in West Asia have disrupted energy flows through the Strait of Hormuz, tightening LPG and natural gas supply to India. With gas diverted to households, according to the Aluminium Extrusion Manufacturers Association of India industrial supply has been cut by 50–80%, severely impacting energy-intensive aluminum extrusion. Around 25 plants have been shut down while ~200 operate at reduced rates, dragging monthly output from ~70,000 mt to ~45,000 mt. The supply-driven disruption is tightening downstream availability and supporting aluminum product premiums.
