Some of the restrictions on Hongqiao’s winter output were to run for four months from mid-November to mid-March but others only applied to December and January. In a statement to Reuters, the company said it would take around four months, until June, to fully resume production from the pots now being restarted.
Around 100,000t of aluminium production had been affected by the winter cuts, it added. Dollar gained with upbeat U.S. jobs data and optimism about U.S.-China trade talks.
