This RMB 26 per tonne drop can be attributed to the weakening demand at the Chinese aluminium smelters which have agreed to slash production during winter in support of the country's war against smog. As updated by Shanghai Metals Market, Aluminium A00 ingot average price in China has fallen by RMB 80 per tonne to stand at RMB 14,230 per tonne as on December 4.
