A few days ago, Weiqiao Entrepreneurship announced that while stabilizing the production and operation of the first phase of the 1 million-ton alumina project, the third alumina production line of the second phase was successfully put into production.

From the start of the project to organize the technical backbone to optimize the drawings of the process, equipment, and process; to notify the relevant equipment and material manufacturers to start production in July 2019; and then by 2020 to overcome various unfavorable factors brought about by the epidemic in Indonesia, such as immigration policy restrictions and flight cuts, and actively mobilize construction units to organize construction personnel to enter the site; until now the third alumina production line has been successfully put into production. No matter the alumina plant, or the matching thermal power plant, wharf, gas station, and red mud yard, from engineering construction, equipment installation and commissioning to commissioning and commissioning, all Indonesian cadres and staff took two years, braving difficulties and honing to forge ahead. Today, it has been successfully put into production.

After the third production line of the second phase of the project was successfully put into production, the on-site construction force was concentrated and transferred to the fourth production line, making every effort to speed up the construction and commissioning of the fourth production line. When the fourth production line is put into production, the output of alumina will reach 2 million tons per year.

Indonesia Hongfa Weili alumina project will continue to uphold the enterprise concept of "respect, dedication, unity and development", try its best to create corporate value, promote local economic and social development, and be a pioneer and devotee leading the development of corporate social responsibility. it has become an enterprise model for the development of economic and trade cooperation between China and Indonesia.

As of July 30, China’s aluminum ingot inventory in major consumption areas stood at 953,000 mt. Cumulative destocking from the YTD high of 1.465 million mt in early May has reached 512,000 mt (-35%), with an additional accelerated destocking of 53,000 mt this week, breaking below the 1 million mt threshold as expected. However, the directional divergence between warehouse withdrawals and inventory has raised concerns...

As of July 30, China's major consumption regions reported aluminum ingot inventory of 953,000 mt, having cumulatively destocked 512,000 mt (-35%) from the year's high of 1.465 million mt in early May. Within the week, destocking accelerated further by 53,000 mt, as expected falling below the 1 million mt mark. However, the directional divergence between warehouse withdrawals and inventory drew attention: weekly warehouse withdrawals pulled back to 127,700 mt, losing the advantage of being at a high for the same period in the past four years. The core driving force of this destocking round has shifted from "demand and warehouse withdrawal boost" in June to "supply contraction + slowdown in shipment pace": the proportion of liquid aluminum rose to 78.3% in July, with casting ingot volume down 15.1% YoY; a sharp drop in arrivals in South China pushed Foshan's premium wider by 50 yuan/mt in a single week to 115 yuan/mt; SMM believes...
