With the introduction of reduction plan during heating season of Henan, Shandong and Shanxi Provinces, the affected annual capacity of electrolytic aluminium is expected to exceed 2.6 million tonnes.
Since restarting of old capacity and newly-increased capacity are on the line, so production limit under high inventories will not cause short supply. The resistance of rise of Aluminium price in the long term has increased after mindset change. In the short term, with recovered consumption and production limit of electrolytic aluminium ahead of schedule, inventories will drop, which will continue supporting aluminium price. The amount of rise will depend on impetus of capital.
