SHANGHAI, Nov 4 (SMM) - SMM data showed that China's social inventories of aluminium across eight consumption areas rose 31,000 mt on the week to 1.01 million mt as of November 4, mainly because more arrivals in Wuxi and Shanghai have led to rising local inventories. While the inventory in Nanhai fell slightly on the week due to less arrivals from a week ago, and the shipments have also picked up.
