Impact from imported aluminium alloy weakened as the import window closed in early August, increasing market shares of domestic cargoes. In addition, some downstream users stepped up production even in a low season as their operating days were shortened due to the pandemic.
Operating rates are likely to rise further to about 55% in September, a traditional high season.
