Chinese primary aluminum output rises 1.5% on year in April

摘要

China’s primary aluminum output rose to 2.97 million mt in April, up 1.5% year on year, according to the latest data released released by the country’s National Bureau of Statistics Friday. Market sources say output in May could be higher than that in April as Chinese smelters might slowly restart capacity or put new projects into operation in Inner Mongolia and Yunnan after they returned to profitability due to a recent rebound in prices and recovery in demand.
