The aluminum range fluctuated in the early afternoon, but the spot price difference was large. In the morning, the spot price in Shanghai Wuxi area is between 12710-12730 yuan / ton, the holder can ship the goods, the middleman is more hesitant to receive the goods, the two sides are relatively hesitant to receive the goods, the spot price in the market after 10: 15 begins to concentrate on 12740-12780 yuan / ton, the spot discount is between 10 yuan and 10 yuan / ton, and a large household buys normally today. on the whole, trading between traders today is more general, and the early shippers are obviously more than those who receive the goods. In the second stage of the transaction, there are more consignees than shippers. Downstream today to receive goods better than yesterday, as the sharp fall in aluminum prices stimulated its enthusiasm for receiving goods. The overall transaction in East China is better today.

Rio Tinto Secures Bell Bay Smelter Operations Through End-2031
Rio Tinto announced on October 1 that it had reached agreements with the Tasmanian Government, the Australian Commonwealth Government and Hydro Tasmania to extend electricity supply to the Bell Bay aluminium smelter through the end of 2031. The two governments will also provide a combined A$200 million support package over five years, contributing A$100 million each. Commercial terms of the power agreement were not disclosed. Bell Bay produces around 190,000 tonnes of primary aluminium annually, while its existing electricity contract was due to expire at the end of 2026. The agreement removes the smelter’s immediate operational uncertainty. Bell Bay is the third major Australian aluminium smelter to receive government-backed support in 2026, following Boyne and Tomago, highlighting continued pressure from high electricity costs and international competition.
