EDITED BY : DEBANJALI SENGUPTA 2MINS READ

The Chinese market has been reported witnessing a steady downstream consumption against fewer deliveries to warehouses over a period of time. As a consequence of which, primary aluminium inventory is incessantly recording a plunge, indicating a balance maintained between production, supply, and consumption in the market. According to Shanghai Metal Market on May 24, 2018, China’s inventory of primary aluminium, including SHFE warrants has seen a further dip to 2.08 million tonnes, 40000 tonnes lowered from 2.12 million tonnes on Monday, May 21, 2018, and 60,000 tonnes lowered from 2.14 million tonnes a week ago. The week-on-week decline is thus, slightly higher today than the decline of 58,000 tonnes last Thursday. 

The current inventory status in the major Chinese cities is as follows:

On the other hand, the impact of lowered aluminium inventory is reflecting on A00 aluminium ingot price, as well. According to SMM, the average A00 aluminium ingot price has surged from RMB 14490 per tonne, as on Wednesday, May 23, 2018, to RMB 14570 per tonne on Thursday, May 24, 2018. The prices are expected to range between RMB 14550 per tonne and RMB 14590 per tonne, with spot discounts to settle at RMB 90 to RMB 50 per tonne.

In East, the ingot price rose from RMB 14495 per tonne to RMB 14610 per tonne, while in south and north, the price grew from RMB 14605 per tonne to RMB 14615 per tonne and from RMB 14520 per tonne to RMB 14595 per tonne.
