Author: China’s State Reserve Bureau (SRB) will buy 300,000 tonnes of aluminum at 12,300 yuan (about 1,750 U.S. dollars) per tonne next month to push up prices and support producers, Friday’s Shanghai Securities News reported.
The price represents a 10-percent premium on current market levels.
The SRB will buy about half of the total from Aluminum Corporation of China (Chalco), a listed arm of state-owned metals firm Chinalco. The rest will come from seven other smelters, sources told the newspaper.
Several sources said officials were still discussing further purchases, which could total 1 million tonnes.
The SRB maintains stockpiles of key raw materials.
This is the government’s first move in the current market crisis to prop up the ailing nonferrous metals industry. Slumping prices and weak demand, due to the global economic crisis and China’s own slowdown, have forced smelters to slow production and cut jobs.
On Wednesday, Zhang Ping, minister in charge of the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), delivered an economic report to the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress, the top legislature.
Zhang said that the central government will take immediate measures to support nine industries, including the nonferrous metals sector.
Governments at all levels immediately announced policies to aid the smelting sector, including relaxed export controls, stockpiling metals, offering electricity subsidies and raising loan ceilings.
The southwestern province of Yunnan said it would buy 1 million tonnes of nonferrous metals from local smelters and neighboring Sichuan Province said it would cut electricity prices for smelters. Read the rest of this entry »
