Amid soaring aluminium prices across the globe, aluminium companies in China are indeed savouring propitious time as their stock prices reach the highest level. Shanghai Metal Market learned early this morning 19th of April, 2018 that the stock prices of Aluminium Corporation of China (Chalco) climbed 6 per cent to hit the highest level of 4.96 yuan per share in last one month.
On the event of US sanctions against Russian aluminium companies including the aluminium giant Rusal, as well as, Glencore’s and Rio’s decision to declare force majeure on Russia-linked contracts have jointly triggered the price surge of both aluminium and alumina globally. According to Shanghai Metal Market, China too is witnessing a price hike, as the price of average A00 aluminium ingot surged remarkably from RMB 14720 per tonne to RMB 15070 per tonne on April 19, after remaining flat for a day.
