China gears up for increase in aluminium exports

摘要

High stockpiles of alumina accumulated during the first half of the year in China are likely to contribute to an increase in the country's aluminium ingot exports in the coming months.Chinese industry sources said that they expect aluminum exports to pick up in the second half of 2001, although were guarded on reports from elsewhere in the industry that export sales have risen in the last couple of weeks as Chinese suppliers offload excess stocks, including some tonnages of Russian-origin material.
