According to Shanghai Metals Market, stocks of 6063 aluminium billet have extended their decline today, on April 25, across five major consumption areas in China. Higher demand for aluminium extrusion still remains a major factor behind these depleted inventories.

As of April 25, inventories have fallen some 6,400 tonnes from last Thursday, April 18, to come in at 92,200 tonnes, SMM data shows.
