On July 17, 2024, A00 aluminium ingot price in China has experienced a minor decrease of RMB 30 per tonne after a huge downfall on the previous day of RMB 260 per tonne. With the latest fall, the domestic aluminium ingot price has shrunk below RMB 20,000 per tonne, settling at RMB 19,760 per tonne, according to the Shanghai Metals Market survey.  This results in the sharp month-on-month decline of RMB 620 per tonne from RMB 20,380 per tonne.

Today, the average prices are estimated to hover around RMB 19,740-19,780 per tonne, with the spot contract likely to be executed at a discount price ranging from RMB 60-20 per tonne.

SMM predicts the price of A00 aluminium ingot will stay low due to a surge in domestic production, which is expected to exceed current demand until it catches up. Additionally, tariffs on China's aluminium have reduced global consumption, preventing significant price growth.
