In China, the average spot price for alumina (a key ingredient used in the production of aluminium) has increased by RMB 1/ton, closing at RMB 2,929/ton. Meanwhile, the price of alumina in Henan has increased by RMB 5/ton, reaching RMB 2,965/ton. The price increase could potentially be due to a variety of factors such as increased demand or production costs.
According to the Shanghai Metals Market, the price of A00 aluminium ingots (a specific type of aluminium alloy) has decreased by RMB 30/ton, settling at RMB 17,700/ton. The average prices are estimated to vary between RMB 17,680/ton to RMB 17,720/ton, with spot contracts trading at discounted costs of RMB 80/ton to RMB 40/ton. This decrease in price could be the result of market conditions such as excess supply or lower demand.
Vedanta Limited, a mining and metals company based in India changed the prices of its aluminium products on 6 January 2023. The price change is in line with the recent surge in prices of base metals in global indices. This could be due to various factors including production costs, demand, and competition in the market.
Overall, the prices of aluminium, and its raw materials can vary significantly due to a range of market factors. These price fluctuations can have a significant impact on aluminium-based businesses, and industries.
