TOKYO: The premium for aluminium shipped to Japanese buyers for October to December was set at $88 a tonne, up 11% from the current quarter, as demand began to pick up from the pandemic-induced shock, four sources directly involved in pricing talks said on Thursday.
The premium, up from $79 per tonne paid this quarter, marks a first quarterly increase in five. But it is lower than initial offers of $95-$98 per tonne from producers.
