In August 2026, the import and export trend of China's aluminum commodities was mainly dominated by the price recovery between Shanghai and the United States. Overall, imports continued to grow month-on-month and the export structure was divided. In addition to bauxite and alumina, various other categories on the import side recorded month-on-month increases. Among them, imports of scrap aluminum and aluminum alloy showed a relatively prominent month-on-month increase, and imports of raw aluminum rose slightly; on the export side, alumina exports were supported by overseas supply gaps, and aluminum wheels benefited from supporting demand from overseas automobile production. Their export performance was relatively strong and increased month-on-month. Most of the remaining commodities declined month-on-month due to price repairs in Shanghai and the narrowing of export profit margins.
