India’s imported aluminium scrap market witnessed positive pricing trends owing to improved trade activities

EDITED BY : STAFF EDITOR 2MINS READ

Aluminium, also referred to as the “wonder metal”, is going through some significant events in India’s scrap market. The market trend seems to be bullish for the time being as it has been observed that the price of India’s imported scrap aluminium of all segments is increasing. The price was elevated by up to $100 per tonne W-o-W. Given this fact, traffic in the aluminium market has grown considerably, leading to better trade activity.

India’s imported aluminium scrap market witnessed positive pricing trends owing to improved trade activities

The buyers of the northern region are initiating moderate to low deals. On the contrary, importers of the western part are more prone towards making prospective deals exhibiting hope for the future. This depicted a heterogeneous buying pattern.

It should be taken into consideration that the heavy downpour in the northern regions is causing a great struggle in the logistics and operation of the aluminium market present there, leading to a disorganized supply chain. Due to the restricted movement of scrap in the local market, the demand improved.  

The price of aluminium stock imported from the USA drastically differs, ranging from $95 per tonne W-o-W to $4,620 at the Jawaharlal Nehru port (JLN). The leftover grades witnessed an ascent of $20-100 per tonne W-o-W. 

It has been monitored that an imbalance is between the bid price and the offer of aluminium which is around $50-60 per tonne, causing volatility and fluctuations in the worldwide aluminium market.

By comparing the trading prices of aluminium scraps, it has been inferred that it remained range-bound with the previous trading day. The tense prices range between INR 154,000-155,000 per tonne, and the utensil prices at about INR 170,000 per tonne, both ex-Delhi and excluding GST. There may be some minor changes regarding the prices per the leading market participants in the near term.

China’s silicon was at $1,840 per tonne CIF Mundra (Gujrat), which decreased by $20 per tonne W-o-W.

Listed below are some of the current deals regarding aluminium: 

  • South Korea recently bought around 100 tonnes of tense aluminium scrap from the USA at $1,820 per tonne.
  • Malaysia recently bought two containers of aluminium stock from Singapore at $4,550 per tonne.
