China’s aluminium billet inventories expand by 12,900 tonnes W-o-W across five major regions

EDITED BY : 2MINS READ

On Thursday, June 9, aluminium billet inventory in China expanded by 12,900 tonnes W-o-W across five major consumption areas to score at 140,000 tonnes. Arrivals were high due to upstream manufacturers' centralised shipment during the Dragon Boat Festival, but downstream manufacturers continued to purchase on rigid demand, which was lower than pre-holiday levels. In light of declining aluminium prices, some extruders with re-melting furnaces acquired aluminium ingot to keep costs down. The weekly cargo from the warehouses dropped from 15,100 tonnes to 52,300 tonnes, which is still within a healthy range. Conversion margins will probably remain low, but consumption is expected to increase M-o-M in June, potentially reducing billet inventories.

The figure below provides further information on the current state of aluminium billet inventories in China:
