Driven by optimism over prices and orders, traders placed many new import orders in January, and these cargoes arrived in March. US and UK sanctions on Russian metals bolstered LME aluminum prices in April, thereby lifting overseas aluminum alloy prices to above $2,400/mt. This caused import loss to expand to 700 yuan/mt, thus aluminum alloy ingot imports may decline.
