Recently, the sintered alumina market in Xiaoyi, Shanxi has remained stable, with about 50% of enterprises maintaining normal production. Enterprises with nearly 6000 tons of inventory said that they will basically suspend production at the end of this month. They stated that currently, most enterprises focus on recovering outstanding debts, and will only choose to ship cautiously if they are satisfied with the payment method for new orders. It is expected that the trend of rotary kiln and reverse flame kiln alumina in Xiaoyi area will remain stable before the new year. Currently, most companies are mainly adopting a wait-and-see approach.

Some Yangquan enterprises have expressed that the current shutdown in the Yangquan area is undoubtedly an opportunity for the bauxite market. The disorderly competition in the early stage of the bauxite market has led to continuous decline in product prices, uneven product quality, serious inventory backlog in some enterprises, and tight capital turnover. During the shutdown period, the enterprise's inventory is digested, further strict environmental management is implemented, and the enterprise is guided to operate normally.

It is reported that due to the successive shutdowns of vertical kiln enterprises in Yangquan area, the supply of vertical kiln bauxite is tight, and the price is also on the rise. Currently, some enterprises have raised the price of bauxite with individual content by 50 yuan/ton. Sources say that the price of bauxite in Yangquan area may continue to rise in the future.
