Aluminium Billet Inventory Enters Rapid Decline; Processing Fees Rebound – 28 March 2026
Summary: Social inventory of aluminium billets in major consumption hubs has entered a phase of “rapid destocking,” dropping by nearly 30,000 tonnes in a single week. The trend is driven by extrusion plants restocking after a sharp drop in primary aluminium prices and the return of peak-season consumption. Despite the price dip, regional processing fees have rebounded to approximately RMB 300/t as demand for billet remains robust.
