This, compared to the previous quarter’s premium of $127.5 per tonne, stands 24 per cent down, said four sources directly involved in the pricing talks. The initial offers made by producers for Q4 shipments were $110-120 per tonne.

The premium agreed upon for Q4 is also lower than that in Q2, between $125-130 per tonne, but higher than $95 per tonne in Q1.

Japan is Asia’s biggest importer of aluminium and the premiums agreed upon for primary metal shipments become the benchmark for the region.
