LME Aluminum 3M down nearly 4% after China intervenes in coal markets. |
||
|
Lower energy prices may encourage metals production to ramp up in China. China’s state planner has requested that local governments in coal-producing areas investigate illegal storage sites, and to discourage hoarding. This news overnight led to domestic thermal coal futures to hit the 10% down trading limit. Both Chinese and LME aluminum prices fell on this news, too. (10/27/2021) |
