According to a recent SMM survey, China's domestic aluminium production was reduced in November 2024 (30 calendar days), recording an M-o-M descent of 3.21 per cent, attributed to environment protection-related controls requiring production lag during the dry season. In addition to production cuts, increased alumina prices were another factor that contributed to the reduced aluminium output volume in China during the period under review.
