China accounts for nearly 25% of Brazil's aluminium scrap exports, rising 590% since 2022, tightening Brazil’s domestic supply
Brazil's aluminium industry is facing a growing shortage of scrap as exports to Asia, particularly China, continue to increase, raising concerns over domestic recycling, decarbonisation and future competitiveness. Aluminium recycling plays a key role in reducing emissions, with recycled aluminium requiring up to 95 per cent less energy than primary production. However, Brazilian producers say increasing exports of aluminium scrap are making it more difficult to secure raw materials for domest ...

Some aluminium plants in the Middle East announce production resumptions, overseas daily average aluminium production up 1.6 per cent M-o-M
According to SMM statistics, total outside-China aluminium production in July 2026 fell 6.7 per cent Y-o-Y, mainly due to a Y-o-Y decline in operating rates at Middle East aluminium smelters. Outside-China daily average production rebounded 1.6 per cent M-o-M, mainly driven by ongoing production resumptions at smelters in the Middle East and Iceland, as well as output increases brought by project ramp-ups and power-on commissioning in Indonesia, Vietnam, and other locations.

China aluminium bar processing fees slump nearly 20 per cent as downstream orders dry up
Recently, China's aluminium bar sector has been challenged by the off-season impact coupled with high temperatures, leading to shrinking orders and declining operating rates at downstream enterprises. The industry's overall operation has shown a slow, sluggish pace, which in turn has directly caused the bar market to struggle. In June, stimulated by both falling aluminium prices and supply contraction, the traders were increasingly firm to the offers, with daily quotations continuously climbi ...

China's alumina imports surge as growing supply surplus keeps prices under pressure
China's alumina imports continued to rise sharply in the first half of 2026, but expanding domestic production and rising inventories have created a supply surplus that is expected to keep alumina prices volatile and largely range-bound in the near term, according to SunSirs. China imported 2.277 million metric tonnes of alumina between January and June 2026, a 749.1 per cent increase year-on-year, according to data from the General Administration of Customs. During the same period, alumina e ...
