            <description><![CDATA[China's primary aluminium production hit a record quarterly high in July to September, official data showed on Monday, as smelters maintained high operating rates despite a longstanding government-imposed capacity ceiling.

The world's top aluminium producer churned out 11.84-million metric tons of the metal in the third quarter, up 2.2% from a year earlier and 0.5% from the previous quarter, according to Reuters calculations based on data from the National Bureau of Statistics. ]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Aluminium is expected to swing into a surplus in 2027, potentially of more than one-million metric tons, as analysts eye a wave of new supply from Indonesia and a recovery in flows from Gulf smelters.

Expectations for a supply bump have already helped push prices of the metal used in transport and packaging below $3 000 a ton this week to their lowest since December, after they hit four-year highs in June on trade disruptions from the Iran war and dwindling inventories.]]></description>
