In the east, the ingot price has slipped by RMB 35 per tonne and stood at RMB 13830 per tonne, same as that of the average spot price. In the south and north, on the other hand, the prices have dropped by RMB 50 per tonne and RMB 10 per tonne to stand at RMB 13900 per tonne and RMB 13850 per tonne, respectively.

The average ingot spot price has been witnessing drop week-on-week in spite of the lowered inventories.

The rising spot price of alumina since the beginning of the month also fails to push up the ingot price. Between November 1 and November 12, the alumina price has hiked from RMB 3127 per tonne to RMB 3182 per tonne, with slight intermittent restraints.
