The A00 aluminium ingot price, on the other hand, has seen a plunge like never before. According to SMM data, the price has crashed down by RMB 790 per tonne to come to the lowest at RMB 11,730 per tonne, attributing to the muted demand and transaction amongst downstream consumers amid COVID-19. The average prices are expected to range between RMB 11,710 per tonne and RMB 11,750 per tonne, with spot contract to be traded at a discount and premium price of RMB 40-0 per tonne.
