SHANGHAI, May 29 (SMM) – A small amount of aluminium capacity in Guizhou was resumed last week. One smelter in Guizhou has basically completed shutdown of 50,000 mt of capacity. The domestic operating aluminium capacity is estimated to grow to around 40.9 million mt by the end of May. The hydropower supply in Yunnan remains tight, thus local smelters are unable to resume production for the time being. The share of molten aluminium output of smelters may decline in May due to output cuts by molten aluminium processing enterprises.
