China, the world’s leading aluminium producer, brought in a record amount of aluminium in April 2021 as strong demand lifted Shanghai prices above London metal prices, resulting in opening an arbitrage window for cheaper overseas metal.

The arbitrage was mostly closed in April but opened briefly in mid-March, paving the way for more imports, while the difference between Shanghai and London prices hit widest on May 13 since July last year.
