Potential Surplus from Aluminum Capacity Cuts to Weigh on Alumina Prices, SMM Warns
Downstream producers showed low buying interest due to falling orders, and impact from production cuts has not been felt, leading to the growth, SMM explained.
NBS: China Aluminum Output Grows Notably in June
Despite cuts in Shandong and Xinjiang, the lost supply will be filled by new legal capacity in Inner Mongolia, Guangxi and Guizhou, etc. Hence, the supply glut will persist, SMM expects.
