CONTEXT

What This Means for Importers

Aluminum futures vs. SHFE spread: aluminum futures (ALI=F) at $3,278/t while SHFE front-month sits at ¥23,310/t (CNY basis). The spread, adjusted for USD/CNY, indicates whether Chinese domestic metal is pricing above or below this USD benchmark — relevant when negotiating FOB terms with Chinese mills.

Vietnam freight context: Shanghai → Ho Chi Minh City estimated at $1,495/FEU. For a 20-tonne aluminum shipment in a single 40-ft container, freight adds approximately $75 per tonne to your landed cost before duty, insurance, and local handling.

Disclaimer: All values are reference prices for procurement research. They are not financial instruments, exchange rates for transactions, or certified assay results. Actual purchase prices require direct quotation from a mill or trading house.
