Aluminum Futures Rally, Central China Market Sees Rebound in Trading Sentiment and Premiums
SHFE aluminum futures rallied again during the night session. In the central China market, pre-market transaction quotes were relatively low. Traders tended to restock in large volumes at deep premiums - when prices dipped, and with Friday approaching, downstream processing enterprises showed a rebound in purchasing and stockpiling sentiment. Overall market trading sentiment recovered, driving quotes gradually higher. Ultimately, actual transaction prices in the central China market were around a premium - of 110-150 yuan/mt against the SHFE aluminum September contract.
