China, the world’s biggest producer, is an obvious alternative. International prices are showing their biggest premium to the Chinese market since 2022, creating an opportunity for smelters at a time when local inventories of the metal have climbed to a six-year high.\nOverseas orders for aluminium products used in cars and packaging should see a noticeable increase in April, said Zhu Liangmin, an analyst with Beijing Aladdiny Zhongying Business Consulting Co. Annual sales could match or exceed the record 6.7 million tonnes exported in 2024 due to the extra demand arising from the war, Aladdiny predicts.\nMarch exports of 485,000 tonnes were 13% higher than February's — suggesting the war may already be having an impact — although they were lower than the year before. Over the first quarter, exports hit 1.46 million tonnes, which is 6.5% ahead of last year’s pace.\n\nExports are an important channel for soaking up record levels of output at a time when the domestic economy is slowing. Chinese firms have shown their readiness to step in with alternative supplies for overseas customers. The trading unit of Aluminum Corp of China Ltd issued a release on May 31 touting a sale to meet the “urgent procurement needs of a key customer in Thailand” for 510 tonnes of alloy, including a rare shipment of 10 tonnes by plane.\nGlobal clients are buying more semi-finished products from China, which could lead to a spike in exports in May and June, said Zhang Meng, general manager at Shandong Aize Business Information Consulting Co.\nInternational traders are also exploring new ways of securing Chinese metal, potentially buying aluminium rods for remelting into general-purpose ingots, the consultancy said in a note, although rising shipping costs because of the war could limit the trade. \nChinese producers, meanwhile, are well positioned. Bloomberg Intelligence expects smelting profits to stay near all-time highs, although it said the increase in stockpiles is likely to cap local price increases. Another potential headwind domestically is the auto industry’s adoption of magnesium alloys, an even lighter alternative to aluminium for car parts. \nUploaded by Arion Yeow","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":false,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"1","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"isVideo":false,"video":null,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"need_login_tip":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"}}}
