[Imported Bauxite Prices Rise Again! Short-Term Tight Supply of Bauxite May Be Hard to Reverse] SMM December 5 News:
SMM Brief Comment: Recently, the operating capacity of alumina has remained at a high level, leading to considerable demand for bauxite, which cannot be fully met by supply. Coupled with the substantial profit margins of alumina, some alumina refineries have increased their willingness to accept higher-priced bauxite, causing imported bauxite prices to rise again. As of December 5, the SMM imported bauxite CIF index was reported at $93.30/mt, and the price of Guinean bauxite was reported at $95/mt, an increase of $4/mt compared to last Thursday. In the short term, the tight supply fundamentals of bauxite may not see significant improvement, and bauxite prices are expected to fluctuate upward.
