EDITED BY : DEBANJALI SENGUPTA 2MINS READ

According to the Shanghai Metals Market, China’s social inventories of primary aluminium across eight major consumption areas totalled 986,000 tonnes as of Monday, January 30, up 57,000 tonnes from 929,000 tonnes on January 28 and 242,000 tonnes higher than the pre-Chinese New Year level. As of Saturday, January 28, the first day after the week-long Chinese New Year (CNY), the inventories recorded a surge of 185,000 tonnes from pre-CNY level and a year ago. The increase of 185,000 tonnes or 24.9 per cent was in line with SMM's previous forecast.

The surge in inventories could be attributed to continued cargoes arrivals over the past couple of days amid limited warehouse withdrawals.
