ADC 12 aluminium ingot prices in China rise on reduced production, increased costs

ADC 12 aluminium alloy prices in China rose on Wednesday April 28, due to higher production costs and reduced supplies, caused by a month of environmental inspections in Jiangxi province.

China's Environmental Protection Inspection Team is conducting checks in Jiangxi until May 7 and many ADC 12 producers there have lowered their output while the checks take place.
"We heard that producers in Jiangxi were not running at full capacity; some were running at half of their total capacity, while others only at one third," a producer source said.
