2019 PREVIEW: China supply uncertainty will continue to worry bauxite, alumina markets

摘要

The oudook for refractory-grade bauxite and fused alumina in 2019 is once again intrinsically linked to how Chinese production will perform. The flows of material supply out of China are expected to be a primary factor that will shape the markets for non-metallurgical bauxite and alumina in 2019, after two years of inconsistent production because of the country's shift in environmental policy.
