News on May 21:
According to SMM statistics, on May 21, the inventory of aluminum ingots in Guangdong was 234,000 mt; in Wuxi, it was 157,000 mt; and in Gongyi, it was 56,000 mt. The total inventory across these three locations was 447,000 mt, a decrease of 10,500 mt from the previous trading day. SMM expects that although domestic arrivals have remained relatively low in mid-May, allowing domestic aluminum ingot inventory to maintain a destocking trend in the short term, with the potential to continue declining in the near future; however, under normal circumstances, due to the overall smooth domestic transportation in May, combined with the expectation of weakened outflows from warehouses during the off-season, the circulation of aluminum ingots in major domestic consumption areas may gradually ease towards the end of May and the beginning of June.
