Since late March, the price of alumina oxide in China has fallen by about 200 RMB/ ton, and it is still in a state of decline. The market sentiment is also not optimistic. Affected by this, the price of white fused alumina continued to fall this week, with a decline of around 50-100 RMB/ ton.
From March to the present, Covid-19 pandemic outbreaks in many countries such as in Europe and the United States have reached their peak, and the market demand for brown fused alumina has gradually been affected, and market prices have fluctuated.
At present, some brown fused alumina manufacturers indicate that the net loss will be 200 RMB/ ton at the current purchase price of cooked bauxite. As a result, starting from April 6th,
some companies have chosen to halt the production and take a wait and see attitude to the market. Some grit sizes of brown fused alumina have been out of stake.
It is expected that in the next week, based on the firm production costs, the price of brown fused alumina in China may remain weak and stable.
