Today, the Henan-Shanghai price spread was around a discount of 120 yuan/mt. SMM Central A00 aluminum ingot prices against the SHFE 2502 contract were recorded at 20,480 yuan/mt, up 110 yuan/mt from the previous trading day. Inventory-wise, according to SMM data on aluminum ingot social inventory across three domestic regions, as of February 14, inventory buildup increased by 5,400 mt to 617,100 mt.
