◼ China imports continue to increase with total 2018 imports exceeding 82M WMT
◼ Bauxite prices in an upward trend with CBIX bauxite index currently US$52.60 DMT (dry metric tonne)
◼ Strong demand for Metro’s bauxite from Chinese inland Refineries as domestic bauxite supply has been hindered by resource
depletion, recent mine closures and environmental audits
