In April 2020, the operating rate of Chinese recycled aluminum alloy producers was 46.75%, an increase of 10.31% from the previous month and a decrease of 8.22% from the same period last year. The operating rate of recycled aluminum alloy producers in Jiangsu is about 52.29%; Zhejiang is about 41.13%; Guangdong is about 60.55%, and Chongqing is about 38.15%. With the orderly resumption of production by downstream companies in April, the market's demand for recycled aluminum alloys has increased and the output of recycled aluminum alloy producers has risen. This is the main reason for the increased operating rate of recycled aluminum alloy producers in April [details] In April, China imported 63,900 tons of unwrought aluminum alloy, a year and year increase of 606.1% China's April bauxite import volume was 9.94 million tons, an increase of 1.65% over the same period last year. Among them, Guinea is China's bauxite supplier, supplying 4.822 million tons of bauxite in April. China's April alumina imports were 218,881 tons, which was more than doubled year-on-year but fell 35.37% month-on-month. China’s April scrap imports were 71,514 tons, down 53.27% from the same period last year and 6.73% from the previous month [details] Ge Honglin talks about expanding aluminum applications: big breakthroughs in five application fields! During the two sessions, Ge Honglin, member of the Standing Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and Secretary of the Party Committee of the China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association, said in an interview that there will be a breakthrough in expanding aluminum applications to focus on five areas. The first is the civil field. The market prospects for aluminum furniture, aluminum lunch boxes, aluminum foil paper pumps, aluminum alloy trays, wine seal packaging, aluminum alloy aerosol cans, and aluminum oil storage tanks are great. The second is the social public sphere. Aluminum alloy bridges and aluminum alloy flood walls are also being recognized. Although the amount is not large, it has obvious social benefits. The third is the electric power field. At present, my country's cable field is still dominated by copper cables. The proportion of aluminum cables is only about 2%. Aluminum wires and cables can be used in medium and low voltage power cables. The fourth is the construction field. At present, the application rate of aluminum alloy formwork in my country has increased from less than 1% to more than 20%, and there is still room for growth. Fifth, emerging products and application fields, aluminum-air batteries, aluminum alloys for seawater desalination, etc. [details] Peak: Increase support for recycling of waste aluminum templates The National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and the Secretary-General of China Formwork Scaffolding Association Gao Feng said that my country's annual construction formwork usage is more than 800 million square meters, ...

On the morning of May 8, Anhui Shengxin New Materials Co., Ltd. held a production scheduling meeting in May 2020 to inform the production and operation of April, release the May output value plan and deploy the next stage of production and operation in detail. Chairman Xu Wuqing attended the meeting and delivered a speech, and General Manager Yuan Anzhi chaired the meeting. The company's deputy general manager at home and head of department (workshop) attended the meeting. The meeting emphasized that it is necessary to use iron hand to grasp the quality and iron hand to grasp the process. In the production and processing process, we must bring a good team, attach great importance to the standard operation of each process, completely eradicate the old faults, and improve the yield of the product; in the quality inspection process, we must strictly control the quality of each process and firmly eliminate unqualified products. Into the next process; at the daily morning meeting, we must analyze and study the problems existing in the work of the previous day, propose practical solutions to the problems, and prevent the same problems from recurring in actual work. The meeting required that the tacit understanding between the departments is related to the long-term development of the enterprise. Departments should strengthen the communication and exchange of information to form a joint force for jointly opening up new markets and developing new customers. The person in charge of the department should enhance the sense of responsibility to dare to assume responsibility, face the difficulties, overcome the fear of difficulties, and complete the production and operation tasks on time and quality. The meeting also put forward clear requirements on epidemic prevention and control, work safety and other work.

From January to March 2020, the production and operation of the non-ferrous metal industry were generally stable, but affected by the new crown epidemic, industry benefits and investment decreased year-on-year, and development confidence was insufficient. First, production is generally stable and prices have stabilized. From January to March, China's output of ten nonferrous metals was 14.17 million tons, an increase of 2.1% year-on-year, of which the output of copper, aluminum, lead, and zinc were 2.29 million tons, 8.84 million tons, 1.19 million tons, and 1.5 million tons, respectively, year-on-year growth 0.4%, 2.7%, -6.4%, 11%. The output of copper and aluminum materials was 3.67 million tons and 10.52 million tons, down 5.9% and 6.3% year-on-year. From January to March, the average spot prices of copper, aluminum, lead, and zinc were 45316 yuan / ton, 13438 yuan / ton, 14504 yuan / ton, and 17142 yuan / ton, down 7%, 0.9%, 16.6%, and 22.6% year-on-year. Since then, prices have stabilized, and the average spot prices of copper, aluminum, lead, and zinc rose by 9.5%, 5.6%, 2.1%, and 7.2% respectively from the end of March. Second, the efficiency has fallen sharply, and the industry's confidence is insufficient. From January to March, the non-ferrous industry realized a profit of 15.5 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 31.5%. Among them, the mining and processing industries achieved profits of 5 billion yuan and 4.9 billion yuan, down 34.4% and 42.4% year-on-year, respectively, and the smelting industry realized profits of 5.6 billion yuan, an increase of 2.2% year-on-year. The Nonferrous Metals Prosperity Index for March, which was calculated by the Nonferrous Metals Association, was 16.6, which was in a relatively cold range. The industry enterprise confidence index in the first quarter was 44.8, which was 4 basis points lower than that in the fourth quarter of 2019 and the lowest point in three years. Thirdly, investment decreased year-on-year, and the decline in aluminum exports narrowed.

When the new crown pneumonia epidemic was raging in China, the production and supply of overseas car companies were once affected due to the shortage of domestic parts. Today, the epidemic of new crown pneumonia spreads all over the world, and it also casts a shadow over the two major automotive industry centers in Europe and North America. According to incomplete statistics, as of March 19, 12 overseas car companies including Daimler, Volkswagen, Fiat Chrysler Group (FCA), Peugeot Citroen Group (PSA), etc. have closed or plan to shut down. More than 100. At present, the European region is the most affected. More than 90 factories have been closed. Due to the epidemic, the number of registered passenger car markets in the European Union in February 2020 fell by 7.4% year-on-year to 957,052. Worst start since 2013. The shutdown and production will exacerbate this dilemma. At the same time, the impact of North America is gradually emerging, and the three major US giants are planning to shut down North American factories including the United States, Canada, and Mexico. According to CNBC reports, data from RBC Capital Markets show that the ripple effect of the new coronavirus pneumonia epidemic on consumer demand may lead to a 16% decline in global car production in 2020, while US car sales are expected to decline by 20%. A global epidemic is challenging the already depressed global automotive industry.
