[Fellow]China's vehicle sales seen rising further in Sep-Oct after 12% jump in Aug, boosting metals outlook

[ferro-alloys.com]China's domestic vehicle sales surged 12% year on year in August and were expected to continue rising through the traditional September-October peak season as government stimulus policies, including the expansion of new energy vehicle initiatives into the countryside, increase buying interest for both passenger and commercial vehicles, the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers said Sept. 10.

The positive outlook for vehicle demand was expected to flow through to a boost in domestic demand for steel, aluminum and copper for vehicle production, market sources said.

China's vehicle production rose 6.3% year on year to 2.12 million units in August, while vehicle sales rose 11.6% over the same period to 2.19 million units, CAAM data showed. It was the fifth consecutive month of year-on-year increase for both output and sales, and the fourth consecutive month the growth in sales was more than 10%.

On a month-on-month basis, output was down 3.7%, while sales rose 3.5%.

The year-on-year increases in August were attributed mainly to a rise in commercial vehicle demand in the month, market sources said.

Commercial vehicle output surged 42.8% on year to 425,000 units in August, while sales rose 41.6% to 431,000 units, the CAAM data showed. This was despite commercial vehicle output falling 10% and sales falling 3.5% on a month-on-month basis.

Over January-August, vehicle output was down 9.6% on year at 14.43 million and sales down 9.7% at 14.55 million units. However the declines narrowed 2.2 and 3 percentage points, respectively, from January-July.

Steel, aluminum and copper are major raw materials for vehicle production, with vehicles accounting for 6% of steel consumption and transportation generally accounting for 20% of aluminum consumption and 10% of copper consumption.

Strong demand from automakers was lending some support to flat steel, aluminum and copper markets in September, market sources said.

One industry insider said HRC producers had a profit margin of around Yuan 400/mt ($59/mt) currently, while profit margins for China's aluminum smelters were as high as Yuan 1,500-2,000/mt.

China's aluminum and copper prices are expected to hover at high levels in coming months on expectations of demand rising further during the traditional peak season.

LITHIUM PRICE BOOST

China's domestic lithium carbonate prices also moved higher in the week to Sept. 4 for the first time since early March amid a rebound in liquidity and activity.

China's new energy vehicle output rose 17.7% year on year to 106,000 units in August, while sales surged 25.8% over the same period to 109,000 units, CAAM data showed, boosted by the expansion of recharging facilities and the stimulus policies of local governments.

Meanwhile, China's power battery output rose 11.7% on year to 7.4 GWh in August, and was up 22.4% on month.

S&P Global Platts most recently assessed battery grade lithium carbonate up Yuan 250/mt week on week at Yuan 40,250/mt Sept. 4 and lithium hydroxide stable over the same period at Yuan 48,000/mt. Both assessments are on a delivered, duty paid China basis.
