SHANGHAI, Apr 13 (SMM) - The average operating rate of aluminium plate/sheet and strip producers stood at 67.73% in March, up 4.58 percentage points MoM, but down 9.76 percentage points YoY. With the arrival of the traditional peak season, many aluminium plate/sheet and strip producers reported an increase in domestic and overseas orders in March.
There will be limited upside room for the operating rates in April as the growth of new orders may slow down.
