EDITED BY : DEBANJALI SENGUPTA 2MINS READ

Social inventories of primary aluminium across major consumption areas in China, including SHFE warrants, dropped some 13,000 tonnes week-on-week to stand at 1.525 million tonnes today, November 1, Shanghai Metals Market found.

This decline in social inventories could be attributed to molten aluminium consumption replaced by aluminium ingots in the downstream industry.
