Chinese aluminium production hits a fresh all-time high in June
Klaus Kleinfeld, chief executive of Alcoa, read from the same script during the company's analysts' conference call last week. He didn't leave much doubt as to where those expected production cuts will come. At current prices “we believe that roughly 6 million tonne of aluminum capacity in China is below the water-line. We expect that very soon, most likely in the third quarter, we will see 1 million to 1.5 million tonne coming offline.”
The only problem is, has anyone told the Chinese? Chinese production hit a fresh all-time high in June, according to figures from the China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association carried on the website of the International Aluminium Institute. Annualised production last month was 17.33 million tonne, 630,000 tonne higher than May and comfortably exceeding the previous all-time high of 16.99 million tonne recorded in February.
China's output of the light metal has been highly volatile over recent months. However, the underlying trend has been clear. China's cumulative production growth in the first half of this year was 49%, a figure that is only partly inflated by last year's relative low base. Little wonder that increasing amounts of metal are seeping out of the country. China flipped back to being a net exporter of primary metal last month to the tune of 6,000 tonne despite a punitive 15% export duty.
