Japanese aluminium shipments premium set at $172/t for Q2 2022, recording second consecutive quarterly drop

EDITED BY : DEBANJALI SENGUPTA 1MINS READ

Three sources have confirmed that some Japanese aluminium buyers have agreed with at least two global producers on the premium payment of $172 per tonne for June shipments, compared to $177 million in the previous quarter. That reflects a quarter-on-quarter downfall of $5 per tonne or 2.8 per cent from $177 per tonne.

The decline of premium for the June quarter marks a second consecutive quarterly drop, even less than initial offers of $195-250 per tonne made by producers.

In the last quarter, the premium of aluminium shipments to Japan had seen a significant fall of 20 per cent on the ease of local spot premiums and overseas prices, recording a first quarterly decline in six months. In the December quarter of 2021, the premium was set at $220 per tonne.
