Primary aluminium inventories drop to 1.346 million tonnes on higher demand and limited cargoes arrival

EDITED BY : DEBANJALI SENGUPTA 1MINS READ

Primary aluminium stocks across eight major consumption areas in China, including SHFE warrants, have dropped further on higher demand and limited cargoes arrival, learned Shanghai Metals Market. The premium of spot prices over prices of futures triggered a larger outflow of warrants, which also reduced inventories.

According to SMM data, the inventories have plunged by some 63,000 tonnes from May 9 to stand at 1.346 million tonnes, as of Thursday, May 16.
