SMM, July 10:

Futures prices rose sharply again. In the morning, the South China market made more inquiries and less shipments, and the quotations were mostly near Pingshui, with large buyers purchasing at a straight price. The mainstream transaction price was 14580 yuan / ton, with a small amount of discounted supply; futures in the second period rose by more than 100 yuan, and the holder continued to raise the price, with the transaction price rising from 14590 yuan / ton to 14660 yuan / ton. The upside-down range of spot prices in Guangdong and Shanghai continued to expand, with a transaction price difference of 150 per cent of 200 yuan per ton. Spot to 07 contract rising water at 0mur10 yuan / ton, Shanghai aluminum 07 / 08 differential operating range at 220Mel 280 yuan / ton, strong performance in recent months. The price of imported aluminum ingots is still 70 or 80 yuan cheaper than that of domestic aluminum ingots, the Guangdong aluminum ingot warehouse is steadily increasing, and there is little room for rising water before delivery.

Alvance Boosts Aluminium Output by 10% at UK's Only Primary Plant, Enters US Market Amid Tariff Changes
[SMM Aluminum Express News] Alvance British Aluminium has boosted output by ~10% at its Lochaber smelter in Fort William, Scotland (UK’s only primary aluminium plant), thanks to recent US tariff changes. The GFG Alliance-owned facility (48,000 tpy capacity, hydro-powered) now exports about half its production to the US for the first time. Managing Director Tom Uppington: “We increased production in response to shifting trade flows after US tariffs, entering the US market while serving UK and European customers.” President Trump set a 50% global tariff on steel/aluminium imports, but the UK secured a preferential 25% rate (vs. 50% for Canada), making UK metal more competitive. The US still relies on imports for automotive and aerospace sectors.
