[SMM Aluminum Express News] A major expansion of aluminium production in Indonesia driven by Chinese companies is expected to push the global market into a surplus next year, which will lower prices of the metal widely used in the transport industry.
Three new Chinese-backed smelters are nearing completion there, including Xinfa–Tsingshan's Juwan in Weda Bay and Taijing in the Indonesia Morowali Industrial Park, and the Adaro–Lygend Kaltara project in North Kalimantan.
