This is a decrease from $148 a tonne paid in the July-September quarter and marked the fourth consecutive quarterly drop. The price is also lower than the producers' initial offers of $115-$133.

Among Asia's top metal importers, Japan is defined by the premium PREM-ALUM-JP negotiates each quarter over the benchmark London Metal Exchange (LME) metal price CMAL0.

The aluminium industry in Japan is a complete processing business with the exclusion of smelting. Therefore value addition is less. However, with the rapid fall in the price of aluminium, technical development for cost reduction is crucial.
