Japanese shipments of aluminium products eased in June from a year-earlier, but demand was firm due to expectations for a recovery from a destructive earthquake in March and ramped-up output to avoid power shortages ahead of the summer.
The Japan Aluminium Association said on Wednesday aluminium products shipments fell 0.8 percent in June from a year earlier to 178,452 tonnes, but rose 7 percent from 166,885 tonnes in May for a second monthly gain in a row.
