Fastmarkets launches inferred P0610 aluminium Rotterdam premium calculations

Fastmarkets has launched calculations of two inferred P0610 aluminium Rotterdam premiums, following the first publication of its P0610 netback on Tuesday August 1.

The netback rate will be published on the first working day of every month, following a consultation that ended on July 4.

Fastmarkets assessed the aluminium P1020A premium P0610 netback rate, in-whs dup/dp Rotterdam, at $10 per tonne on Tuesday.

An inferred number is a calculation using existing Fastmarkets numbers. The new inferred prices will take the midpoint of the underlying P1020A premium and add the P0610 differential.

Fastmarkets will publish the following inferred calculations:

MB-AL-0386 Aluminium primary ingot premium, in-whs dp Rotterdam, inferred P0610 midpoint, $ per tonne

MB-AL-0385 Aluminium primary ingot premium, in-whs dup Rotterdam, inferred P0610 midpoint, $ per tonne

The inferred prices have been backdated to August 1.

Growing uncertainty over Guinea’s bauxite export policy, alongside severe disruption to alumina supply chains caused by the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, emerged as key themes at the Fastmarkets Bauxite & Alumina Conference in Miami on March 24-25, with delegates warning of heightened price volatility and shifting trade flows.
Until now, aluminium has been hard to move, not hard to find. Global aluminium supply had remained technically intact, even as output was curtailed in parts of the Gulf, inventory buffers were drawn down or repositioned, and shipping through the Strait of Hormuz was severely disrupted.
