    In addition, CCB International completed the acquisition of 75% of Metdist's shares, becoming the first member of the London Metal Exchange with a Chinese banking background
    .

    In terms of the market, as downstream demand remained stable, manufacturers still mainly purchased on demand, and more goods arrived on weekends, so the willingness of cargo holders to ship was strengthened, and prices fell
    significantly compared with the previous trading day.
    The quotation of Nanchu East China aluminum ingots was 11790-11830 yuan, with an average price of 11810 yuan, down 70 yuan

    In terms of industry, statistics show that China's electrolytic aluminum production in March was 2.
    48 million tons, basically unchanged
    from the previous month.
    In the first quarter, electrolytic aluminum production totaled 7.
    45 million tons, down 3%
    year-on-year.
    Alumina production in March was about 4.
    51 million mt, up 2.

    5%
    year-on-year.
    Imported alumina consumption in March was about 270,000 tons, down 7%
    month-on-month.
    Several domestic electrolytic aluminum plants announced the resumption of production, involving an annual production capacity of more than 350,000 tons
    .

    Overall, consumption and supply are booming, but consumption expectations are not good, and the market lacks confidence
    .
    Shanghai aluminum closed down for two consecutive trading days, and the news of the resumption of production and relatively weak downstream demand may be the main reason
    .
    It is expected that Shanghai aluminum will still be volatile in the short term, and investors are advised to look at
    the market.
