Stay updated with the latest Aluminium (Cash) prices, historical data, and tailored regional analysis
In China, the average monthly price of Aluminium (Cash) stood at approximately USD 1,336.79/MT (FOB) in July 2026, while India averaged around USD 1,443.60/MT (CIF). Chinese smelters ramped output on strong margins, which capped the recovery below the June peak. However, a record about 78.3% of Chinese production went to liquid metal for domestic processors, so little castable metal reached the seaborne market. China's August exports fell around 30.48% month on month and Russia supplied 96% of its imports, confirming a tight domestic balance with capacity near the policy ceiling. Monthly average price of Aluminium (Cash) in Germany was about USD 1,470.42/MT (CIF) in the first month of Q3’26. In Europe, values firmed because the region lost the most supply to Middle East curtailments while demand was only marginally positive, making the move supply-driven. Duty-paid premiums eased from their Q2 peak as regional smelter restarts became visible, though reduced Gulf output kept supply constrained.
Analyst Insight
According to Procurement Resource, in the near term, Aluminium (Cash) is likely to stay firm on low exchange stocks, although Chinese output at its cap and European restarts should limit further upside.

In China, Aluminium (Cash) prices remained almost stable, moving from ~USD 1,336.79/MT in May to ~USD 1,337.00/MT in June. China avoided the sharper international rise because primary aluminium production expanded, improving domestic availability even as global supply tightened. India showed a mild upward shift, with prices increasing from ~USD 1,404.13/MT to ~USD 1,424.30/MT, reflecting a ~1.4% gain in the last two months from the quarter. Higher global replacement and logistics costs supported the increase, while steady demand from automotive and pharmaceutical packaging provided additional support. In Germany, Aluminium (Cash) prices moved higher during the period, rising from ~USD 1,430.24/MT in May to ~USD 1,458.30/MT in June. European availability tightened as disruption to Gulf production reduced imported primary metal, while elevated energy and recycling costs strengthened replacement values. However, expectations of improving Gulf shipments eased some supply concerns during June, preventing a stronger quarter-end rise.
The LME aluminium cash represents the global price for aluminium as it is not particular to a specific location. The commodity thus represents the value of aluminium metal for traders around the world.
