Global aluminum producers have offered Japanese buyers premiums of USD98-105/t for April-June primary metal shipments, up 18%-27% from the current quarter, two sources directly involved in quarterly pricing talks said on Wednesday.
Japan is Asia's biggest importer of the metal and the premiums for primary metal shipments it agrees to pay each quarter over the London Metal Exchange (LME) cash price set the benchmark for the region.
For the January-March quarter, Japanese buyers agreed to pay a premium of USD83/t PREM-ALUM-JP, down 14% from the prior quarter.
