The first half of the year 2016 is over and the second half of the year is marching ahead with some positive changes in the LME price and global aluminium demand supply scenario. Prices of LME aluminium gained about 10 per cent in the first half of the year. Compared to LME, Shanghai aluminium prices rose around 13 per cent. Though it is a positive growth, the levels are generally still lower when compared to the same period of 2015. To give support to the aluminium prices both ex-china and China smelters cut substantial output late last year.
Three-month Aluminium on the London Metal Exchange hit a new 13-month high in August, retaking the $1,700 level. Simultaneously, stocks in the London Metal Exchange warehouses and Aluminium inventories in Shanghai Futures Exchange warehouses fell to the lowest in August.
{alcircleadd}With such positive changes rippling the market, the global aluminium industry is getting ready to attend the upcoming major aluminium events to discuss and brainstorm business ideas and to make the most of the growing opportunities. The event season is there and the industry is coming up with events covering all the verticals of the aluminium value chain.
