Affected by the sharp rise in aluminum prices, the price of cooked aluminum has risen 100 yuan / ton nationwide today, while the poor demand for raw aluminum continues to maintain the same price, which makes the scrap aluminum market, which is already poorly traded, more light. Import scrap aluminum, the current overseas zorba (95 metal volume, 2% copper broken raw aluminum) Malaysia CIF price of 970 US dollars / ton, after preliminary treatment, the price is also around 1100 US dollars / ton, which is about 1500 yuan / ton lower than the domestic raw aluminum tax price.
