Daily review on the price of waste aluminum

Aluminum prices rose 350 yuan / ton today, reaching a recent high of 13500 yuan / ton. Under this high aluminum price, although the discount rate of cooked aluminum scrap aluminum remains unchanged, the overall price still rises synchronously according to the discount rate, but in practice, most of the consignors make a small profit of 100,000,150 yuan / ton. Also in the raw aluminum end, due to the poor demand for recycled aluminum downstream, raw aluminum prices also rose less, more symbolically following aluminum prices up 100 yuan / ton. It is expected that under the current high aluminum prices, the pre-holiday inventory loss of scrap aluminum disappears, and most of the holders have a positive willingness to ship goods, which slows down the price of scrap aluminum with the rising rate.
