Aluminium stocks in China’s five major markets continued falling after hitting their lowest in seven years, but a turning point is in sight, SMM understands.

While rains have slowed down transport, more ingots will arrive once transport fully recovers. Aluminium consumption is unlikely to pick up markedly in the short term.
